LOCAL MINISTRY PARTNERSHIPS

When we consider how we can be good stewards of what has been entrusted to New City Church, it seems wise not to duplicate (or compete with) the many excellent organizations that God has called to serve within our community. Our role is to come alongside those who are making a difference in Lawrenceville and in Gwinnett County through committed prayer, faithful sharing of resources and volunteers, generous financial support, and intentional mentorship of leaders.

Throughout Scripture we see God's call that we be particularly focused on serving those right in our midst, particularly the fatherless, the widow, and the sojourner. An excellent ministry partner is a person or organization who is serving these kinds of people in our community and particularly those who have organically become connected to the life of New City Church.

THE FATHERLESS
There are many children within our community who do not have the nurture, guidance, and provision of one (or both) of their earthly parents.

THE WIDOWS
Likewise, we encounter many women without the companionship and support of a husband due to death, divorce or separation, incarceration, or deployment.

THE SOJOURNERS
Gwinnett County is home to many refugees, immigrants, and aliens who need love, support, and welcoming acceptance.
