New City Church of Los Angeles

Inclusive churches are hard to find, and NCC is one of them. It teaches what it means to love your neighbor as Jesus did.

Visited our friend Pastor Phyllis and really like the family feel with the couches. The kids stayed in service this week. They are intentional with group discussion and I appreciate that as someone who promotes active learning. All the staff goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome. Very diverse.

I just moved to the area and have been on the church hunt. Maybe I've just gone to too many mega churches with that commercial feel, you know how some churches just try too hard, no offense because hey, different strokes for different folks, right? Well, this church to me, just has that It Factor. If you're looking for a real gem with unique music, a thought provoking sermon and where you can get involved in the community, this is it. Also Phil the greeter is the sweetest guy ever !

I love seeing the #Christian #brothers #sisters their #children #family & #friends. It is an amazing place to #connect with the #Bible in a #non #denominational #setting. The building was an #old#bank #transformed into a #theatre where one can enjoy #olays throughout the week weekend & #nights. The building is surrended by #eateries, #entertainment #businesses #Starbucks #CVSPharmacy & after Sunday #Service #foodies #crafts &#groceries at the #Historical #Core #Farmers #Market. It's my best day of the #entire #week! .

I truly feel comfortable in saying that New City is a church after God's own heart. The pastor teaches "grace filled" messages in an easy to understand & sound biblical context. He doesn't force the truth down any listener's throat, but oppositely teaches the truth clearly in love and in a gentle & humble spirit. As a visitor, no matter what walk of life you come from, there is a great chance that you will feel very welcomed & embraced when walking in, throughout the message & in your departure. I have gone to church all my life & have lived in various places within the US. With respect to this, I have never experienced such racial & socioeconomical diversity in a church body. I'm confident that when we make it to heaven, it will mirror the diversity that New City allows us to be a part of on Sunday mornings. My wife & I make the lengthy commute from downtown Long Beach to New City in downtown LA because we are truly able to grow in a wholistic manner as a part of this church body.

I've 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...It's 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 Kevin's message of grace. He captures the heart of the Bible; God's heart for people. He doesn't bog down his messages with rules and regulations and religiosity, but teaches from the Bible, God's love, truth and all consuming grace. When I hear one of Kevin's 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. That's where I

My husband and I have been attending New City Church for about six years ever since it was in the beginning days. As a bi-racial woman I appreciated the diversity of ethnicity and socioeconomic, but more important than that the gospel is presented in sermon, action and presence. New City has offered me community in a way that I have never experienced and I have seen this church go from 20 people to about 400. I told my husband when it reached 100 I would be ready to leave. Ok. I'm still there and not planning to leave anytime soon. No church will offer you 100% satisfaction, but New City offers sermons based on the Word, the gospel upheld and a dose of reality to bring you to your knees. This is my home.

This is my home church and I have been going there since it started in 2008. I'm currently an intern at the church. I'm not sure who Justin Craft is but his description contains many factual errors. He seems to know a lot about our church having attended only twice. We have two services 9AM & 11AM and our membership is at about 500-600. Our church is one of those most diverse churches in Los Angeles both in terms of race/ethnicity and class. Whites, blacks, Latinos, Asian Americans, and people of mixed heritage are all well represented at New City. Pastor Kevin & the rest of our staff preach out of both the New and Old Testament with Gospel-centered preaching and my guess is that Justin came when we were in a series entitled, "The Gospel According to the Old Testament." Our church's motto is "we are more messed up than we know and more loved than we can ever imagine." We welcome all people from every color and creed to come as you are. God bless!
