Unstuck: Moving Forward With God
Unstuck
Moving Forward with God
A One-Night Spiritual Growth Workshop
Have you ever felt stuck spiritually?
Maybe you’re exploring Christianity and wondering what it actually looks like to begin a real relationship with God. Or maybe you’ve been following Jesus for years — and if you’re honest, you feel tired, dry, or stalled out.
Unstuck is a 90-minute workshop designed to help you take a clear next step. We’ll talk honestly about why we get stuck, what growth with God actually looks like, and how to move forward — whether you’re just starting out or starting again.
Come hungry. Leave moving forward.
New City Membership Class
If you’ve been attending New City and wondering what your next step might be, our Membership Class is a great place to start. You’ll hear the story of how God began this church, meet our leaders, unpack what we believe, and discover how you can meaningfully engage right now. More than a class, it’s an invitation to belong—to step into the life of this church and take ownership of the mission God has entrusted to us. If you’re ready to move from attending to investing, we’d love to have you join us.
Sent: Helping Others Follow Jesus — A One-Night Equipping Workshop
Sent
Helping Others Follow Jesus
A One-Night Equipping Workshop
Jesus didn’t just call us to follow Him — He calls us to help others follow Him too.
The Great Commission isn’t for a few “gifted” Christians. It’s for every one of us. And it happens best in the life of the local church.
SENT is a 90-minute workshop designed to help you embrace your role in disciple-making right here at New City. We’ll talk about what it actually means to help someone move forward with God — practically, relationally, and intentionally.
You don’t need all the answers. You don’t need a platform. You just need a willingness to invest in someone else’s spiritual growth.
We’ll Focus On:
The Call — understanding why every believer is sent
The Context — making disciples in and through the local church
The Practice — practical ways to help someone take their next step
No pressure. No performance. Just clarity, courage, and a vision for multiplying what God is doing among us.
Mother's Day & Child Dedication!
Join us as we honor our moms and the women who have shaped our lives during our 2 services at 11:00am and 12:30pm.
We’re also excited to offer Child Dedications during our services on May 10! Whether you have a new baby or older kids, this is a special opportunity for families to publicly commit to raising their children to know and follow Jesus, while inviting our church community to support and pray for them.
Child Dedications are open to all New City Church families. We would love for you to participate!
