What’s in a name?  In this case, everything.  We believe that the gospel of Jesus Christ is indeed transforming.  Therefore, we believe that as we share the gospel of Jesus Christ with the people of our city, our city will be transformed and made new.  It is the calling of new city church downtown to see our city transformed and made new!

Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed …

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!
