Who
you
will become
A disciple is someone called to be with Jesus, changed by Jesus, and committed to the mission of Jesus. At New City, everything we do centers around helping you grow as a disciple. Whether you’re just exploring Christianity, or you’ve been following Jesus for a lifetime, we have space for you to grow and to help others grow.
BE WITH JESUS
“Follow me.” Before we do anything for Jesus, we are called to be with him. We learn life from him, and we find healing and courage for the journey ahead. Following him will take grit, and without meaningful connection to Jesus-we’ll never make it. But through his grace, he keeps us. How? Through his life, death, and resurrection for us. You were created to be with Jesus.
BE CHANGED BY JESUS
“I will make you.” Jesus loves us just as we are-messy, struggling, straining, and failing and falling. And it is equally true that he loves us far too much to leave us there. When we follow him, he changes us “from one degree of glory to another.” (2 Corinthians 3:18). One of the main ways he does that is through healthy relationships with other Christians. In fact, we measure the effectiveness of our church by the quality of our relationships. Whatever your hurts, habits, or hang ups-through Jesus Christ, transformation is possible.
BE ON MISSION WITH JESUS
“Fishers of men.” Jesus takes everything his disciples know as 1st century fishermen, and orients it toward people. We exist for the good of others and believe that every one of us is called to make Jesus known to those around us. This is why we labor to help you grow in character and leadership capacity- so that you are effective on God’s mission. We aim to take the gospel to the neighborhood and the nations.
