About New City Church of Los Angeles

New City Church of Los Angeles (https://newcitychurchla.com) is a diverse and inclusive church centered on the good news of Jesus Christ. Since 2008, our church has built a community in downtown Los Angeles. We strive to be a warm and welcoming home to people of all races, ages, sexual orientations, socioeconomic statuses, and housing statuses, building community across differences, from Skid Row to the downtown lofts.

• Our church is richly multi-ethnic – there is no majority ethnic group and we are committed to equity and anti-racism.
• Our unhoused neighbors are integral members of our community.
• We respect all immigrants and welcome them as vital members of our community.
• Our church embraces egalitarianism. All genders may serve in leadership and fully participate in church life, and we believe having women in key leadership roles, including as pastors, elders, and teachers, is integral to building the Kingdom.
• In our journey toward greater inclusion, in 2018, New City’s Elder Board welcomed our LGBTQ members to serve in leadership. In 2020, the Board determined that each pastor may decide based on his or her conscience whether or not to officiate same-sex weddings and provide marriage counseling services.

Our commitment to caring for all people is reflected in our core belief in the gospel of Jesus Christ, the boundless love of God, and the authority of Scripture. See our website, https://newcitychurchla.com, for additional information about our beliefs and community.
