At New City Sac we have a passion for the gospel of Jesus
Christ which speaks of how anyone who wishes can
participate in His new society through faith in His sinless life,
sacrificial death, and bodily resurrection for the forgiveness
of sin.
Our hope and prayer is to cultivate a fellowship that
preaches the gospel while offering a biblically grounded
ministry that addresses the spiritual needs of the whole
family.
Christ’s own commitment to live among, walk with, and
serve the poor, vulnerable, and less powerful motivates our
desire to serve the marginalized in our community.
