Our Flourish campaign raises money for ministries and projects outside of our normal operating budget. This year, our goal is to raise $150,000 for our benevolence fund, local missions partners and church planting. You can read more about each Flourish initiative and how to give below.

Flourish Campaign Q&A

Q:  What is the fundraising goal this year?

Our goal is to raise $150,000 this year, spread across three main projects. This goal is extraordinarily reachable if everyone gives as the Lord leads! Some in our body are able to give thousands and some tens, but if each of us gives something, we will exceed this goal.


Q:  What will the Flourish Campaign money be spent on this year?

We have pinpointed the following areas for our Flourish funds in 2023:

Local Missions ($40,000): Our first priority for missions work is to serve the people who surround us, addressing both immediate and long-term needs. This has always been the heart of New City: to bring the hope of Jesus to the places we live, work, study, and play. In addition to giving financial support, we strive to provide opportunities for our church to carry out the Gospel message through hands-on service projects that help our city flourish. We are currently partnered with a range of local organizations, including Hope Women’s Center, Phoenix Rescue Mission, Kenilworth Elementary School, Hamilton Elementary School, and more.

Benevolence ($50,000): In Acts 4, we see a clear picture of how the early church cared for its members. Followers of Jesus brought resources to the church, and the church distributed financial support to those who had greater need. At New City, we are committed to being that kind of church. Every year, we distribute tens of thousands of dollars to people in our church and community who find themselves in financial need. We provide support in many ways – from buying school supplies and grocery gift cards to helping with car maintenance, rental assistance and more.

Domestic and International Church Planting ($60,000): Each year we invest in church planting through our relationship with the Orchard Group, an organization committed to planting churches in urban and unreached areas around the world. Orchard helped start New City, and now we invest in other church planters who will take the message of the Gospel to their cities, like San Francisco, New York, Paris, Istanbul, and Lagos, Nigeria. Presently, we are supporting a church plant in downtown Cincinnati called City Church – Over the Rhine.


Q:  When does the Flourish Campaign start and end?

November 4 marks the beginning of our campaign this year, and we encourage all Flourish giving to be completed by December 31. However, you can give to the Flourish Campaign at any time throughout the year.

Giving to the Flourish Campaign is considered an offering that would be in addition to normal giving. Of course, all donations given to New City Church are tax deductible.
