Community

Are you looking for a place to belong, grow spiritually, understand who you are in Christ, and discover the purpose God has for you?

God created us to live in community

New City is a place where you can get to know people and find where you belong. This happens in different ways for different people, but we have regular opportunities and connect events for our congregations to gather outside of worship services and begin to grow circles of community.

Community Groups

Our Community Groups are a place where you can connect with others face-to-face on a regular basis—moving from rows in worship to circles of community. If you want to join a Group, we’re here to help.

COMMUNITY GROUPS

What to know

What is a Community Group?

A Community Group at New City is a small group of 8 to 12 people that learn and grow together in a circle of community.

Where and when do they meet?

New City Community Groups meet in homes, coffee shops, and restaurants on various days of the week and times of day.

What kinds of groups are there?

We have men’s groups, women’s groups, couples’ groups, and mixed groups of men and women.

What do they study?

Community Groups at New City study the Bible, go through sermon discussion guides written for our sermon series, and explore books about living out our journey with Jesus.

How do I join a Community Group?

We open new community groups twice a year for Group Launch in September and February. Let us know you’re interested in a Group and we’ll be sure you get invited to Group Launch.  

In the meanwhile, check out our events page and look for upcoming Connect events where you can meet others who are looking for community at New City.

Baptism

Baptism is a way to tell the world that you've declared Jesus as your personal Savior and Lord.
We hold baptism services throughout the year. To let us know you're interested in baptism and be notified when our next baptism class is scheduled, fill out our baptism form.
