About City on Purpose

City on Purpose was created to make real-life connection easier, more meaningful, and more accessible in an increasingly digital world. We believe community doesn’t happen by accident - it takes intention, proximity, and a little bit of curiosity. Our mission is to help people reconnect with their cities, with each other, and with what matters most.

Who We Are

We’re a team of locals, parents, friends, and community-builders who understand how hard it can be to find genuine connection. Our background spans ministry, nonprofit work, business, marketing, event organizing, media, and everything else you can think of. What brings us together is a shared desire to make city life feel personal and virtuous.

Every event and organization featured on our site is handpicked, verified, and posted with care - like we’re recommending it to a close friend. If we wouldn’t go, it doesn’t make the cut.

What We Do

Here’s what you’ll find on City on Purpose:

✔️ Faith-forward events that go beyond Sunday services

✔️ Local groups that help people actually meet

✔️ City guides for birthdays, holidays, special events, and more

Who We Work With

We work closely with churches, creatives, nonprofits, and community-minded locals to ensure everything we list reflects our values.

Our Commitment to Trust

We take your trust seriously. That’s why:

✅ We only feature events we believe in

✅ We don’t list anything that feels spammy, shallow, or misleading

✅ We clearly label sponsored content (and keep it rare)

✅ We invite feedback and make updates when needed

Have something to share? Email us at info@cityonpurpose.com or DM us on Instagram @cityonpurpose.

Get Involved

City on Purpose isn’t just a directory—it’s a growing movement to build cities where people feel seen, welcomed, and connected.

We’re glad you’re here. Let’s build something that matters—together.
