5 /5 cherisse corbin: Ive been going to New City for almost a year now and LOVE IT!  It is the most racially diverse and economically diverse church I have been to.  The first time I went I was immediately noticed and welcomed warmly...Its not like other churches where you walk in and no one talks to you except for a good morning from the person handing you the bulletin.  I was not only greeted but welcomed immediately.  From the very first day, I loved Kevins message of grace.  He captures the heart of the Bible; Gods heart for people.  He doesnt bog down his messages with rules and regulations and religiosity, but teaches from the Bible, Gods love, truth and all consuming grace.  When I hear one of Kevins messages I learn more about the historical time period each verse is coming from and I learn more and more about the heart of God.  Not only does it help me in my walk today, but also teaches me more about the origins of the Bible.  Not may pastors can do both as Kevin does.  Jonathan, the associate pastor, is also a wonderful speaker and is an exceptional leader in the church.  Being apart of a grow and serve group is what really cemented my connection and love for the church.  Thats where I created and foster lasting friendships with people that have become like family to me.  We get  deep in the word and in each others lives and its powerful.  All groups also have a serve portion where we reach out, volunteer and serve our community.  New City has forever changed my life and I feel incredibly blessed to be apart of such an incredible, loving, open, innovative, diverse, cutting edge, non religious, Bible based, community centered, church!
