Mission and Vision

Cities are the center of culture. Often, they are the intersection of art, politics, and business. New City exists to engage culture where it’s created, weaving the story of God into the story of Phoenix. The desire of the church is not simply to gather on Sundays, but to meet you where you live, work, study and play. The green section in the New City logo represents an oasis among urban streets. Likewise, New City believes that following God breathes new life into our culture. We believe we can actively change our world by shifting the priority set from money, success, and fame to worship, community and mission..

Worship:
New City recognizes that worship is more than rocking out on a Sunday. Worship is about celebration: a celebration of your relationship with God, with one another, and with the city. New City invites you to celebrate through song, communion, learning, and giving.

Community:
New City is one community comprised of smaller “neighborhood community” groups. These groups meet throughout the week across the city to live life together. When you join a neighborhood community, expect to experience authentic relationships, personal accountability, and continued connection. New City neighborhood communities also carry out social justice projects together throughout Phoenix.

Mission:
Love is the primary motivator behind mission. Micah 6:8 asks, “What does the Lord require of you but to do justice?” New City believes in passionately seeking justice for the marginalized, the oppressed, and the poor. Intentionally living out the call to do justice involves addressing local and global issues of inequity, including homelessness, health care, immigration, and poverty.
