Starting new churches has proven to be the most effective tool for reaching people with the message of Jesus. That should come as no surprise since the church is God’s bride and His chosen instrument to spread the Good News around the world. Since starting New City we have invested in church planting significantly through…
Recently we completed our 2017 Annual Report to inform those who like to see, through numbers, the impact that God made through New City. Numbers never tell the story completely, but they do provide us a tool to evaluate the ministry’s health and effectiveness. As you will see in the report, 2017 was again a year of “records” for New…

We learn there that Daniel took a diet of vegetables (which includes fruits and grains)…
On Sunday, we introduced our new Executive Pastor, Steve Eriksson. We asked Steve to share a little about himself so everyone could get to know him better. Join us in welcoming the Eriksson family to New City! Tell us about you and your family. I was born in Chicago, but at the age of one, I…

Every week, our worship team gathers on Thursday and again early Sunday morning in preparation of leading our church body in worship. It’s not a task taken lightly, nor is it taken for granted. We feel honored to lead, while at the same time feel the weight of what it is we are called to…
When New City Church began to meet publicly in February of 2011 no one could know what God had in store for us. We believed and hoped for big things, but we knew that the results were ultimately God’s. Over the past fives years, God has been very gracious to us and allowed us to see so…
Christmas often brings so much hope and promise…the family will finally be together, I’ll actually get that something I’ve been wanting all year, the turkey won’t be dry this time! Yet, the days or weeks after Christmas can leave us feeling a little let down, or maybe even depressed. Someone in the family didn’t show up, the gift wasn’t under the…
This past Sunday I introduced everyone (except the 8:30am service) to Andy. Andy started coming to New City about two years ago and in Andy’s words, “New City became his family.” Andy was brought to New City by a Grand Canyon University student who volunteered in a partnership GCU has with Alhambra High School. The…
