New City Church
New City Church is a protestant, non-denominational church in Downtown Los Angeles. It is located on Spring Street. It has been alive for about seven years. It's lead pastor is Reverend Kevin Haah.

As their website says:

"We are an inclusive, come-as-you-are church in downtown LA.

New City Church of Los Angeles is a multi-ethnic, multi-socioeconomic Christian church in downtown LA. We are a diverse and inclusive community seeking to be like Jesus. We have roughly equal numbers of Blacks, Whites, Asians, and Latinos; about a third of us come from Skid Row, and the rest come from downtown lofts and outside of downtown; we are people from different backgrounds and lifestyles coming together because we came to realize that we are all more messed up than we know but God loves us more than we can ever imagine.

We would love to have you join us this Sunday!

At the Heart of New City, We are Gospel-Centered.

This means our salvation, value, and identity come by grace (which means undeserved gift) by faith in Christ, and not by our own performance. We live as children of God, unconditionally accepted and loved, and not as those who live in fear, trying to earn our way to God’s blessings. This is at the heart of who we are.

Are we a liberal or a conservative church?

We are neither a conservative church nor a liberal church. We really don’t feel that the gospel of Jesus fits into those categories. We believe that Christianity is not primarily about dos and don’ts, but about understanding that our flaws and darkness within us are bigger and darker than we think they are AND that God loves us and accepts us more than we can imagine, at the same time. So, this means we accept and love all people not because “you’re okay and I’m okay,” but because we are all messed up together. We believe that the dynamics of acknowledging both our brokenness on the one hand, and God’s unconditional love and acceptance on the other hand, compel us to be humble, accepting, and loving without being judgmental."
