About Us

New City is a community of young adults seeking to live out the beauty, truth, and justice of Jesus Christ through worship and mission that transforms lives. New City is a ministry of Central United Methodist Church to UMKC, Rockhurst, the Kansas City Art Institute, and The Plaza area of Kansas City.

The two-fold focus of New City is to create worship experiences that transform lives, and mission that transforms the city. Our strategy is to gather a new worshipping community on Sunday nights that will be specifically shaped for young adults, but open to anyone who longs to see God redeem this world we live in. Our dream is to hold our passion for worship and mission together in a creative tension that blurs the lines of individual faith and social justice. Through Word and deed, we seek to live into the vision of the new city of God found in Isaiah 61 and Revelation 21.
