Coatesville, Pennsylvania

Our Home.
Our Mission Field.

A church rooted in Coatesville — willing to do whatever it takes to reach this city with the gospel.

The Church Gathered & Scattered

Two Expressions. One Mission.

  Gathered

The Gathering

Every Saturday night we come together as one body — worship, the Word, and community under one roof. This is where we celebrate what God is doing across the whole church and remember we’re part of something bigger than our neighborhood.

Saturday Nights

  Scattered

Micro-Churches

Throughout the week, CityWell scatters into neighborhoods as small communities — sharing meals, studying Scripture, praying together, and living on mission in the spaces and places we call home.

Who We Are

A Church Willing to Do Things No One Else Is Doing

“We reach people no one else is reaching because we’re willing to do things no one else is doing.”

CityWell is a church that exists to help you love God, love people, and live well. We are unafraid to look, talk, and do things in new and unique ways. We reach people no one else is reaching because we are willing to do things no one else is doing.

We put it all on the line for Jesus because God isn’t looking for casual Christians, but committed disciples. We recognize our daily choices matter — so we choose to live in community with other believers, we choose to use the gifts God has put in us, we choose to be generous, and we choose to have disciplined lives.

We will not let doing ministry distract us from being disciples. We care more about how people are doing than what people are doing. We care more about seeing people grow in their love for Jesus than we do about recurring volunteers.

We are generous within our church, community, and the universal church. We believe generosity starts when we give out of sacrifice rather than overflow.

We are just getting started — but we are following a God who is able to do more than we could ask or imagine. So we will continue to pray, study Scripture, and chase after the Holy Spirit’s guidance, believing God will continue to grow the vision He has put in us.

Those Who Lead

Our Leadership Team

Ordinary people, called to lead a church that looks like what Jesus built — disciples making disciples.

DJ Grick

Lead Pastor

DJ studied youth ministry at the University of Valley Forge and spent over a decade as a pastor at Morgantown Community Church. He has a passion for helping people find hope and discover their purpose in Christ. DJ planted CityWell out of a conviction that God is calling the church to do whatever it takes to reach people who are far from Him.

Micro-Church Leaders

The Church in the Neighborhood

CityWell relies heavily on those living on mission in their neighborhoods and communities. Our micro-church leaders — people rooted in the daily life of the city — are a core part of how CityWell leads and listens. They don’t just attend church. They help shape it. Their voices, from the streets and tables of Coatesville, speak into the direction and decisions of what we’re building together.

What Drives Us

Core Values

These convictions shape how CityWell lives, gathers, scatters, and loves our city.

01

All In for Jesus

We don’t do casual Christianity. We put it all on the line because He’s worth it.

02

Disciples First

We won’t let doing ministry distract us from being disciples. We care more about who we’re becoming than what we’re producing.

03

Real Community

We choose to live in community — sharing life, not just services. Real relationships take real commitment.

04

Sacrificial Generosity

Generosity starts when we give out of sacrifice rather than overflow — within our church, our community, and the universal church.

05

Reach the Unreached

We reach people no one else is reaching because we’re willing to do things no one else is doing. Coatesville is our mission field.

What We Believe

Statement of Faith

These are the core beliefs that define who we are and how we live. Rooted in Scripture, anchored in Christ.

The Holy Bible

The Holy Bible, and only the Bible, is the authoritative Word of God. It alone is the final authority in determining all doctrinal truths. In its original writing, it is inspired, infallible and inerrant.

2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:20-21; Proverbs 30:5; Romans 16:25-26

The Trinity

There is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. These three are co-equal and co-eternal.

1 John 5:7; Genesis 1:26; Matthew 3:16-17, 28:19; Luke 1:35; Isaiah 9:6; Hebrews 3:7-11

Jesus Christ

Jesus Christ is God the Son, the second person of the Trinity. On earth, Jesus was 100% God and 100% man. He is the only man ever to have lived a sinless life. He was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, performed miracles, died on the cross for mankind and thus atoned for our sins through the shedding of His blood. He rose from the dead on the third day according to the Scriptures, ascended to the right hand of the Father, and will return again in power and glory.

John 1:1, 14, 20:28; 1 Timothy 3:16; Isaiah 9:6; Philippians 2:5-6; 1 Timothy 2:5

The Virgin Birth

Jesus Christ was conceived by God the Father, through the Holy Spirit in the virgin Mary's womb; therefore, He is the Son of God.

Matthew 1:18, 23-25; Luke 1:27-35; Isaiah 7:14

Redemption

Man was created good and upright, but by voluntary transgression he fell. His only hope of redemption is in Jesus Christ, the Son of God.

Genesis 1:26-31, 3:1-7; Romans 5:12-21

Regeneration

For anyone to know God, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential.

John 6:44, 65

Salvation

We are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ - His death, burial, and resurrection. Salvation is a gift from God, not a result of our good works or of any human efforts.

Ephesians 2:8-9; Galatians 2:16, 3:8; Titus 3:5; Romans 10:9-10; Acts 16:31; Hebrews 9:22

Repentance

Repentance is the commitment to turn away from sin in every area of our lives and to follow Christ, which allows us to receive His redemption and to be regenerated by the Holy Spirit. Through repentance we receive forgiveness of sins and appropriate salvation.

Acts 2:21, 3:19; 1 John 1:9

Sanctification

Sanctification is the ongoing process of yielding to God's Word and His Spirit in order to complete the development of Christ's character in us. It is through the present ministry of the Holy Spirit and the Word of God that the Christian is enabled to live a godly life.

1 Thessalonians 4:3, 5:23; 2 Corinthians 3:18, 6:14-18; Romans 8:29, 12:1-2; Hebrews 2:11

The Blood of Jesus

The blood that Jesus Christ shed on the Cross of Calvary was sinless and is 100% sufficient to cleanse mankind of all sin.

1 John 1:7; Revelation 1:5, 5:9; Colossians 1:20; Romans 3:10-12, 23, 5:9; John 1:29

Christ Indwells All Believers

Christians are people who have invited the Lord Jesus Christ to come and live inside them by His Holy Spirit. They relinquish the authority of their lives over to Him, making Jesus both Lord and Savior.

John 1:12, 14:17, 23, 15:4; Romans 8:11; Revelation 3:20

Baptism in the Holy Spirit

Given at Pentecost, the Baptism in the Holy Spirit is the promise of the Father, sent by Jesus after His Ascension, to empower the church to preach the Gospel throughout the whole earth.

Joel 2:28-29; Matthew 3:11; Mark 16:17; Acts 1:5, 2:1-4, 17, 38-39, 8:14-17, 10:44-47, 19:1-6

Gifts of the Holy Spirit

The Holy Spirit is manifested through a variety of spiritual gifts to build and sanctify the church, demonstrate the validity of the resurrection, and confirm the power of the Gospel.

Hebrews 2:4; Romans 12:4-8; Ephesians 4:16; 1 Corinthians 12:1-31, 14:1-40; 1 Peter 4:10

The Church

The church is the Body of Christ, the habitation of God through the Spirit, with divine appointments for the fulfillment of Jesus' great commission. Every person who is born of the Spirit is an integral part of the church.

Ephesians 1:22, 2:19-22; Hebrews 12:23; John 17:11, 20-23

The Two Sacraments

Water Baptism: Following faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, the new convert is commanded by the Word of God to be baptized in water in the Name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

The Lord's Supper: A unique time of communion in the presence of God when the elements of bread and the cup are taken in remembrance of Jesus' sacrifice on the Cross.

Matthew 28:19; Acts 2:38; Matthew 26:26-29; 1 Corinthians 10:16, 11:23-25

Healing of the Sick

Healing of the sick is illustrated in the life and ministry of Jesus, and included in the commission of Jesus to His disciples. It is a sign that follows believers, a part of Jesus' work on the Cross, and one of the gifts of the Spirit.

Psalm 103:2-3; Isaiah 53:5; Matthew 8:16-17; Mark 16:17-18; James 5:14-16; 1 Corinthians 12:9, 28

God's Will for Provision

It is the Father's will for believers to become whole, healthy and successful in all areas of life - spiritual, mental and emotional, physical, and financial.

John 3:3-11; 2 Timothy 1:7; Philippians 4:7-8; Isaiah 53:4-5; Joshua 1:8; Malachi 3:10-11; Philippians 4:19

Resurrection

Jesus Christ was physically resurrected from the dead in a glorified body three days after His death on the cross. Both the saved and the lost will be resurrected - those who are saved to the resurrection of life, and those who are lost to the resurrection of eternal damnation.

Luke 24:16, 36, 39; John 2:19-21, 20:26-28; Acts 24:15; 1 Corinthians 15:42, 44; Philippians 3:21

Heaven

Heaven is the eternal dwelling place for all believers in the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Matthew 5:3, 12, 20, 6:20, 25:34; John 17:24; 2 Corinthians 5:1; Hebrews 11:16; 1 Peter 1:4

Hell

After living one life on earth, unbelievers will be judged by God and sent to Hell, where they will be eternally separated from God.

Matthew 25:41; Mark 9:43-48; Hebrews 9:27; Revelation 14:9-11, 20:12-15, 21:8

The Second Coming

Jesus Christ will physically and visibly return to earth for the second time to establish His Kingdom. This will occur at a date undisclosed by the Scriptures.

Matthew 24:30, 26:63-64; Acts 1:9-11; 1 Thessalonians 4:15-17; 2 Thessalonians 1:7-8; Revelation 1:7
