About CityAlight

We are a music ministry from St Paul’s church in Sydney, Australia. Our vision is to write songs with biblically rich lyrics and simple melodies for Christian church to sing.

We pray that the lyrics and melodies of these songs would fix eyes, hearts, and minds on Jesus. We pray that our songs might join the many thousands of songs written through history to encourage the church, and when they have played their role, to make way for the next ones. And we rejoice that one day the only name left standing will be the name of Jesus, as it should be.

What We Believe

CityAlight is a ministry of St Paul’s Castle Hill, part of the Anglican Diocese of Sydney.

We believe in God the Father, creator of heaven and earth; Jesus Christ the Son of God; and the Holy Spirit. | Genesis 1:1; Matthew 28:19

We believe that Jesus Christ died on the cross, was buried and, in body, rose again on the third day. | I Corinthians 15:1-4

We believe that God loved the world so much that he sent his son Jesus to die on the cross to save us from our sins so that if we believe in him we may have eternal life with him. | John 3:16

We believe the only way to have an eternal relationship with God is through Jesus. Jesus said “I am the way the truth and the life no one comes to the Father except through me.” | John 14:6

We believe that the Bible (the Old and New Testament) is the ultimate rule and standard of faith given by the inspiration of God and containing all things necessary for salvation.
