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, find where you belong, and grow in your identity as a follower of Jesus. We have regular opportunities and connect events for our congregations to gather outside of worship services. Additionally, we have Community Groups where you can begin to grow a circle of community and Identity Groups that focus on helping you understand your story and how it connects with God's story.

Community Groups

We want everyone at New City to experience true belonging in community—believing that you are loved, chosen, and invited into relationship with God and his people.

In Community Groups, this means building relationships, growing in faith, and finding the support God intends for us. The group listings at the link below include details about the group so you can choose the one that works best for your season of life.

If none of these are a fit for you, please let us know you're interested in a group by filling out our connect form.

Look for **Open Groups** here.

Connect Groups

New City Connect Groups exist to bridge the gap between our Sunday morning services and our Community Group environments. These gatherings are designed to create spaces for people to experience connection and belonging. The goal of Connect Groups are for people to meet friends, to belong in community, and to move people into what's next. Connect Groups are open and ongoing and may be specific to an age group or to a shared interest.

Identity Groups

Story Groups for women and Iron Collective for men are small groups that help individuals unpack their stories and find their identity in Jesus, focusing on their own story and how it connects with God's story.

Space is limited in these groups, and they launch each fall. Groups are full for 2025–2026, but we invite you to apply for future cycles below. The individuals in Story Groups and Iron Collective groups are selected from a pool of applicants and commit to completing the full 8-month experience with their group.
