NEW CITY LEADERSHIP
LEADERSHIP TRANSITION: After launching New City Church 11 years ago our founding pastor, Patrick Thompson, was recently sent by our church to serve as a long term missionary to help plant Gospel focused churches in France. We are excited to expand our ministry influence into other areas of the world. We are also excited that God has provided a seamless leadership transition here in NYC. Jared Parsons has served as one of our teaching pastors for the last 4 years. He and his wife Jana are stepping into the primary leadership roles at New City Church. The transition was made “complete” in January of 2024, and we sent Patrick and his wife Katie to France in March. Since the Thompsons are still a part of this church from a far, and since Jared is in the beginning stages of this transition, we included the info below for you to get to know New City better as we continue forward as we continue forward. Feel free to reach out with any questions or to request more information.
