The New City Family of Churches is not one church in many different locations; it is a family of independent (autonomous) and interdependent local churches that work together for the advancement of the Gospel. Under the local leadership of pastors/elders, this family of churches seeks to love, support, and equip one another through intentional partnership. As a family we work together on a shared mission with a common vision and strategy.
Our shared mission is to help others live in light of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Our shared vision is to see the Gospel transform everything within our reach: ourselves, our church, our city and the world.
Our shared strategy is living as a family of missionary servants, disciples of Jesus making disciples of Jesus. We believe that we will best fulfill our mission and see this vision come to be as we live out our identities in Christ.
In addition to a shared mission, vision and strategy, New City Churches share foundational core beliefs regarding:
Scriptures
Salvation
The Godhead
Eternal Security & Assurance of Believers
The Person and Work of Christ
Ministry and Spiritual Gifts
The Person and Work of the Holy Spirit
The Church
Total Depravity
Marriage and Sexuality
And these critical foundational elements are expressed through eight shared family traits:
Biblical Theology
Identity-Based Living
Contextual Diversity
Gospel Centrality
Missional Communities
Kingdom Collaboration
Expositional Preaching
Ordered Equality

Consultations & Resources
There are often churches that won’t become an official member of the New City Family of Churches, but that we strive to help in various ways. Churches and pastors are welcome to contact us for assistance, consultations and advisory help to see if we can assist them in ministry in any way. Our desire is to see healthy, thriving churches whether they are members of the New City Family of Churches or not!
