Pastors & Elders:
New City is led by a plurality of pastors and elders. These men are called, biblically qualified (1 Tim., Titus 1, 1 Peter 5, Acts 20), and affirmed by our church. The pastors and elders oversee the spiritual life, health, and doctrine of the church; ensuring the gospel is being preached inside and outside New City, our community is being cared for, and encouraging the congregation towards hope in Jesus for all of life.

Worship Leader Wanted…
New City is looking for someone who has a heart for the gospel, a passion for the local church, and the gifting to lead our vibrant and growing congregation in corporate worship. The right person will be a mix of musician, poet, and theologian, who has the desire and aptitude to bring others along in building and fostering a Biblically grounded and Spirit led culture of worship.
Deacons
Deacons, like elders, are called, biblically qualified, and affirmed by our church (1 Tim. 3, Phil. 1:1, Acts 6). Our deacons work with the elders to serve the congregation in stewardship, justice, and practical ministry. These men oversee the benevolence needs of our church and community. They also promote justice, generosity, and stewardship in all of life.
