New City Church
Love Our City
Help us love on the Phoenix community and bring the hope of Jesus beyond our walls! During New City’s “Love our City” day, we’ll have a wide range of service projects set up for volunteers to participate in, including: Habitat for Humanity, Phoenix Rescue Mission, Hamilton Elementary School, and more! You can review the project details below and choose the project you want to participate in during registration. We are also asking for an optional $10 donation during registration, which goes toward a New City t-shirt and breakfast.
Before separating to volunteer around the city on Nov. 5, we’ll all meet at New City at 7:30 am to check in, get a t-shirt, and enjoy breakfast and coffee together! Then, we’ll gather with our project team and head out to serve at different locations around the community.
