Ministries
Alpha
Alpha is a fun dinner series followed by group conversations designed for those who would not identify as Christians and are interested in exploring life, spirituality, and faith through a Christian lens in a relaxed, non-judgmental environment. If you’re an atheist, skeptic or just curious about faith, bring your thoughts to the discussion group and explore questions of life with new friends!
Join our team
From welcoming guests, to cooking, to leading discussion, there is a place for you to serve on the Alpha Team. If you are interested in helping build this ministry, please apply using the form below.

Connections
The Connections Team joyfully welcomes others, turning strangers into family. More than just a fun way to meet people, it’s a spiritual practice—shifting our focus from self to others, reflecting Jesus’ servanthood, and embodying God’s heart for hospitality. In a city where many feel unseen, we create a space where everyone is noticed and known.

Events
The Events Team brings devotion, fellowship to life, and hospitality, just as the early church did in Acts 2. From planning to logistics to creative roles, we create spaces where God’s presence is known and His work is renewed in our time.

Care
At Church of the City, we believe true community flourishes when we put God’s love into action. Romans 12 calls us to be devoted to one another, caring for physical, mental, and spiritual needs. Explore ways to give and receive care here.
City Renewal
At City Renewal, we believe that the way of Jesus is a call to sacrificial mission in the heart of the city. As a church in New York City, we are not content to simply exist within the rhythm of our urban environment; we are called to engage it with purpose, compassion, and boldness. Our mission is to empower believers to follow Jesus into a life of radical love and service. We do this by equipping the church to meet the needs of our city—transforming lives and communities, one act of sacrificial mission at a time.
Join our team
City Renewal Serving Teams are deployed at the beginning of every ministry season (January–May, June–August, September–December). Please apply through the application below if you are interested in joining a team for the upcoming season.

College
college.nyc is a community of students joining God’s movement in New York City. We exist to empower students, fuel a rising hunger for Jesus, and welcome renewal on our campuses and in our generation.

REVELATION 21:5
And he who is seated on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new.”
Also he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.”

Youth
of the City

Back of House
From setting up speakers to creating a welcoming space for our city kids - the Back of House Team helps with it all! However, serving with the Back of House team is primarily a counter-formative spiritual practice - an opportunity to be others focused, to share in the servanthood of Jesus, and to embody Christ's desire for a hospitable church community.
Join our team
The main roll of the Back of House Team is to help with all set up and tear down needs before and after morning services. This includes Worship, Production, city kids, Youth, and Connections. Whether you can help before or after the 10am service or for the 5pm once a month or every week - there is a spot for you on the Back of House Team!

Join our team
We have the privilege to watch over city kids, our main service areas, and to patrol our spaces to help create those environments. Interested in helping grow this ministry?
