Brian and Janis Higbee both are from southwestern Pennsylvania where they live with or close to all of their children. “Growing up in this area has given us a real challenge of seeing beyond the conditions that face the church in this region. Looking beyond where we are into where the Lord wants us to go is at the heart of CityChurch.” Leading this amazing group of believers into the fullness of the Kingdom of God is at the heart of Brian’s and Janis’ passion.
Using the title “prophet” seems to have been left in the dust of the old testament. Yet the Apostle Paul clearly declared that prophets were part of the team of leaders in the new testament church. The prophet, part of the ministry of Jesus, is included with the apostle, the evangelist, the teacher, and the pastor. These five ministry offices make up the team that equips the saints of God within the body of Christ, the Church, for ministry.
Jen Metzger has been using her gifting in the prophetic for many years. Hence we recognize the maturity, character, and position God has brought Jen. We also recognize that Jesus’ church is growing into the fullness of what He intended and must move with Him.
According to Brian and Janis, “We are able to accomplish what we do here at CityChurch because of the team that serves the vision here. Without them our passion would only be theory. Because of the way they serve our people, our city, and this region, we have taken greater leaps in fulfilling this vision called CityChurch.
