GROUPS

Growing in Community

At New City Church we believe that spiritual growth happens in the context of relationships. We have 3 different types of groups that focus on different aspects of discipleship.

Village

A Village is more than a small group—it’s a spiritual family on mission. Each one is a community of people who know one another, care for one another, and live together with a shared vision to saturate our city with the gospel. In a Village, faith moves out of rows and into living rooms, around tables, and into everyday life as we learn to follow Jesus together.

​

At the heart of every Village are The Village Rhythms—simple, life-giving practices that shape how we grow with God and one another.


We Slow Down to be present with God and each other, share Stories of what God is doing in our lives, learn from Scripture, and come to God together in Supplication through prayer. These rhythms aren’t about perfection or performance, but about forming a way of life that helps us abide in Christ and live on mission right where we are.

D-Groups

D-Groups are small groups (3-5 people) that meet regularly to pray together, discuss Scripture, help one another believe the gospel, and fight against sin.


They are meant to help you grow in authentic relationships, in order to become more like Jesus and enjoy God in all of life.

​

A D-Group shares a mutual commitment to a few weekly disciplines, that foster growth in our relationship with God. As we show up, God transforms us into more Biblically Rooted, Spirit Led, Relationally Minded, and Missionally Engaged people.

Equip Classes

Equip Classes are short-term, focused learning environments designed to strengthen your faith and equip you to follow Jesus with clarity and confidence.


These classes create space to grow in biblical understanding, spiritual practices, and practical theology—helping you connect what you believe to how you live.


Whether you’re building a foundation or taking a next step, Equip Classes are after transformation, not just information. Each one is designed to help you grow as a whole person—head, heart, and hands.


Through teaching, discussion, and guided practice, participants are equipped to live as mature disciples—grounded in truth, shaped by the gospel, and ready to serve and lead in everyday life.
