rapid growth and quick profit, new jobs and fresh adventures
But this constant shifting can lead to a lack of depth
both for us and for our communities.
Jesus invites us in to a different way of living – a long obedience in the same direction. Persevering in the way of Jesus invites us to see God’s Kingdom come where we already are: In our neighbourhoods, our families, our work and ourselves.
Through relevant speakers, discussions, and times of worship, this year’s TrueCity Conference will explore how far God can take us when we choose to persevere together in the way of Jesus.
This is the 15th year that TrueCity is hosting a gathering to ask how we can be churches together for the good of the city and to celebrate how God is at work among our churches and beyond here in Hamilton. What have we learned along the way? What insights and practices do we need to embrace to truly persevere in living out the kind of long obedience God calls us into?

Every year GOHOP teams up with TrueCity to organize two weeks of 24/7 Prayer kicked off by the TrueCity Conference. The theme of the prayer room is determined by the topic of the conference (i.e., mission, discipleship, evangelism). With the theme in hand, a team of artists prayerfully inquires of the Lord how the room should be designed and who else should be brought in to help build the main prayer stations. After the prayer room is assembled by a team of 10-20 staff and volunteers, it is filled with the sweet aroma of prayer as hundreds of people come to pray for two weeks around the clock.
