Message from Pastor Troy

Thanks for visiting our website.
More than any church I’ve ever attended, New Life CityChurch thrives at developing an authentic community that inspires others to know and follow Jesus. We come from different generations, races, and backgrounds. Some of us have been in church our entire lives and others are just learning what it means to have a relationship with God. We are imperfect people who are quick to admit we have failed God.
At the same time, we are amazed that God Himself has sent Jesus to die for our sins and offer us peace with God by trusting in Jesus alone for our salvation. Wow!
New Life CityChurch is made up of Jesus followers and we exist to deepen our relationship with God, our relationships with each other, and share the hope that can be found in Jesus with Kansas City.
We’d be honored by your visit. We’re not a group of perfect church-goers who have it all together. Instead, we’re a community with our struggles who want to see our lives continually changed by Jesus.
