Don’t walk into
2027 flat.
One Saturday. Your three miles on paper, and every move dated from November through March.
City First LA
Saturday, November 7 · 9:00 AM – 2:00 PM
The LAB Inc., Gardena
Thousands of people live within three miles of your building. Almost none of them know what you do. They are not coming on their own.
You don’t have an outreach problem.
You have a map gap.
One Saturday closes it.
Your three miles
on paper.
Real numbers, not a feeling. A plan for November through March with every move dated. Lunch, and a room full of leaders working the same problem.
Map the city
Who actually lives in your three miles, counted from the census rather than guessed at from the platform.
Occupy the block
Where your church already has a footprint, and the nearest ground you can take next.
Invite the city
The specific moves that put your people in front of those neighbours, dated on a calendar.
This is us
The story your church tells about itself once it knows who it is for.

Worksheets. Lunch. Bring the people who will actually run it — two to four is the sweet spot.
How the room works
Michael is in the room for the whole thing, not just the opening. Lunch is catered and eaten together.
- Your church’s street address
- An honest read on your current attendance
- A pen
Questions
Senior, executive, campus and outreach pastors, and the leadership teams who will actually carry the work. Church size does not matter. A church of forty and a church of four hundred do the same exercise; only the numbers on the page change.
Doors at 9:00, we finish at 2:00, lunch is in the room. You get your Saturday afternoon back.
Because the plan gets built by the people who have to run it. One price covers up to four from your church: your outreach lead, your youth pastor, whoever carries this on a Tuesday.
He has been doing this since he was thirteen. Nearly thirty years later, the question hasn’t changed: who is on your block, and does anybody know you’re there?
Michael Amey has spent nearly thirty years in missions, outreach and church leadership, including fifteen years pastoring overseas. City First is the method he built out of it.
