New City Church

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who showed up to dig, haul, pull, rake, and get our front garden beds ready for planting.

The landscaping transformation is officially underway—and we can’t wait to see it all come together.

Thanks for showing up, New City. We couldn’t do it without you!

TOMORROW! September 19 at 8:00am, we’re getting to work on New City’s new landscaping—and we need all the help we can get!

Bring your gloves, grab a shovel, and give us a few hours. With enough hands, we can make a huge amount of progress in one morning.

We’re giving the outside of our 80-year-old campus some much-needed attention so it can continue to be a welcoming place for our church and community for years to come. No special landscaping skills required—just come ready to work!

Can’t make it Saturday? You can still help by “gifting” New City a plant or tree for its 80th birthday. Purchase one from our registry, or Zelle [email protected] with “birthday gift” in the memo and we’ll purchase it for you.

Come get your hands dirty with us. Saturday at 8:00am!

Good luck to our New City athletes competing in the Hermosa Open this weekend at the Hermosa Pier!

We love seeing people in our church use their God-given gifts in all the places they live, work, play, and compete. Come out to the beach, cheer them on, and enjoy some great volleyball right here in our community.

And- it’s your last local chance to watch Avery compete this season before he retires from the pro circuit next month. So we hope to see you there!

Lunch Together
Sunday, September 13 | After Church

On Sunday, September 13, we’re encouraging everyone at New City to grab a few people you’d like to know better and head out for lunch together after church. Invite someone new, mix up your usual group, pick a favorite local spot, and share a meal.

We won’t be serving food in the Fellowship Hall that Sunday—because we want to give everyone a reason to get out, make room at the table, and spend some time together.

If you’re attending Better Together after church, join in when it wraps up at noon!

Send this post to someone you want to share a meal with! See you Sunday!

For 80 years, this cornerstone has marked the foundation of our church building- and for 80 years, generations of people have gathered here to worship, pray, learn, serve, celebrate, grieve, and follow Jesus together.

Buildings change. Ministries grow. Generations come and go. But the foundation remains.

“Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone.” — Ephesians 2:20

As we care for this place and prepare it for the years ahead, we still have an opportunity to help purchase the new landscaping for our church campus. If you’d like to be part of it, email mailto:[email protected] for more information.

Grateful for the 80 years behind us. Looking forward to what God will build here next.

Tomorrow we begin GIFTED?, a new eight-week series exploring spiritual gifts and the ways God works through each of us for the good of others.

We’re looking forward to starting this conversation together and worshiping with you tomorrow morning at 9:30am!

First summer at Forest Home’s Wild Rock—and we have a feeling this is the beginning of a very good tradition!

Our New City Kids spent an unforgettable week at Forest Home filled with worship, great teaching, rec, milkshakes, mini golf, zip lining, art, polar bearing, and all the wonderfully camp-y things that make childhood summers so memorable.

But the best part was watching friendships deepen, confidence grow, and our kids experience Jesus together in a place far outside their normal routines. There’s something special about getting away, trying new things, laughing a lot, and discovering that faith and friendship belong together.

A special shoutout to our high school students who joined the leadership team and made the week extra awesome. Thank you for loving our kids so well, bringing the fun, and showing them what it looks like to follow Jesus by the way you lived all week long.

New City Kids Summer Camp, year one: officially in the books.

Now the question is… whose kid is already counting down to next summer?

Still thinking about Sunday’s BBQ? Good news: you definitely don’t have to wait until next year to have it again!

City Catering is connected to our longtime mission partners at City Church Compton, just down the road from El Segundo. Their BBQ restaurant at The LAB is open Wednesday–Saturday, serving up the same incredible food we enjoyed at our anniversary celebration.

So grab a few friends—or better yet, bring your whole small group—and make an event of it. Great BBQ, close to home, and a chance to support an initiative and community we’re so grateful to partner with.

Visit City BBQ & Catering ‘s profile for hours, details, and plenty of reasons to show up hungry.

Eight decades. One remarkable Sunday!

On Sunday, we gathered to celebrate 80 years of ministry on this campus- and there was not an empty seat in the sanctuary!

For 80 years, generations have walked through these doors to worship, grow, raise families, serve their neighbors, and find community. Sunday gave us a chance to look back with deep gratitude- not simply for a building or a milestone, but for the countless people who have made this place what it is.

A huge thank you to City BBQ & Catering for making the day especially memorable, and to everyone who came, served, gave, and helped us mark the occasion.

Eighty years behind us. And still so much good work ahead!

If you’d like to give a birthday gift to New City to help us with the landscaping or other projects, please DM us and we will share all the ways you can help us set the stage for the next 80 years!

Here’s to the next chapter!
