Freedom Walk
Join us as we continue our partnership with Love Never Fails in the fight against human trafficking.
We’re so excited for our 5th annual Freedom Walk! This is a family-friendly community event where participants walk together in solidarity to raise awareness and take a public stand against exploitation.
This year’s Freedom Walk is directly connected to the Love Never Fails’ outreach mission on the ground. They are mobilizing volunteers and resources to engage vulnerable communities and connect individuals to support and services. This family-friendly event is a public stand against exploitation.
The Rally
Your ticket provides you with entrance to a family-friendly pep rally, a Freedom Walk T-Shirt, entrance into a raffle (adult ticket only), and lunch.
The Walk
Following our pep rally at Fremont High School, we invite you to walk in solidarity with us to International Blvd. You'll witness why we walk and experience a powerful sense of unity and support as we stand together against this injustice.
What to Bring
Please wear comfortable outdoor attire! Remember to wear sunscreen and bring a water bottle to stay hydrated!
Get Your Tickets:
Tickets include entry to pep-rally, t-shirt, lunch, ice cream, and raffle tickets for adults!
Grab your tickets at an early bird rate of $25 per adult and $5 per kids ticket! Price will increase on June 1st.

About Love Never Fails
Love Never Fails empowers all people to express and experience their best sense of humanity. We do this by restoring, educating, and protecting survivors of human trafficking and their community.
In Oakland, human trafficking remains a serious and visible issue, particularly along corridors like International Boulevard, where exploitation has persisted for years. Many victims are trapped by fear, poverty, immigration challenges, or coercion, making outreach efforts critical to reaching those who are often unseen and underserved.
Youth Luau!
Join us for a fun and exciting Hawaiian themed youth Luau filled with food, games, music, and the option to enjoy some pool time! The event will take place on Sunday, June 14th from 3:00–5:30 PM at the Largusa’s home in Castro Valley. Come dressed in your best Hawaiian attire, and get ready to connect, have fun, and enjoy a vibrant time together!
Invite Sunday
Who Is Your One?
Looking for the perfect opportunity to invite a friend, neighbor, coworker, or family member to church? Invite Sunday is the day!
Join us THIS Sunday, June 7th, for a special Invite Sunday packed with celebration, community, tasty treats, and fun for the whole family. We'll worship together, hear a powerful message, and enjoy some exciting extras during and after each service:
Promotion Sunday – Honoring our graduates!
Summer Fun Bags for Every Child – We’re celebrating the start of summer in Kids Ministry by sending every child home with a special summer goody bag! Each child will receive a few fun summer goodies like bubbles, sidewalk chalk, sunglasses, stickers, and other surprises, along with simple family devotional and activity ideas to enjoy together throughout the summer.
Ice Cream Floats after the 11:00am service
Lunch after the 12:30pm service
It's a great Sunday to bring someone with you and help them experience the love of Jesus and the community of our church.
Who are you inviting? Who is your one?

Sent: Helping Others Follow Jesus — A One-Night Equipping Workshop
Sent
Helping Others Follow Jesus
A One-Night Equipping Workshop
Jesus didn’t just call us to follow Him — He calls us to help others follow Him too.
The Great Commission isn’t for a few “gifted” Christians. It’s for every one of us. And it happens best in the life of the local church.
SENT is a 90-minute workshop designed to help you embrace your role in disciple-making right here at New City. We’ll talk about what it actually means to help someone move forward with God — practically, relationally, and intentionally.
You don’t need all the answers. You don’t need a platform. You just need a willingness to invest in someone else’s spiritual growth.
We’ll Focus On:
The Call — understanding why every believer is sent
The Context — making disciples in and through the local church
The Practice — practical ways to help someone take their next step
No pressure. No performance. Just clarity, courage, and a vision for multiplying what God is doing among us.
New City Membership Class
If you’ve been attending New City and wondering what your next step might be, our Membership Class is a great place to start. You’ll hear the story of how God began this church, meet our leaders, unpack what we believe, and discover how you can meaningfully engage right now. More than a class, it’s an invitation to belong—to step into the life of this church and take ownership of the mission God has entrusted to us. If you’re ready to move from attending to investing, we’d love to have you join us.
Unstuck: Moving Forward With God
Unstuck
Moving Forward with God
A One-Night Spiritual Growth Workshop
Have you ever felt stuck spiritually?
Maybe you’re exploring Christianity and wondering what it actually looks like to begin a real relationship with God. Or maybe you’ve been following Jesus for years — and if you’re honest, you feel tired, dry, or stalled out.
Unstuck is a 90-minute workshop designed to help you take a clear next step. We’ll talk honestly about why we get stuck, what growth with God actually looks like, and how to move forward — whether you’re just starting out or starting again.
Come hungry. Leave moving forward.
Youth: Mini Golf @ Golden Tee Golfland!
Get ready for an afternoon of fun, laughs, and friendly competition! Join us for our Youth Mini Golf Outing—an awesome chance for our middle and high school students to hang out, connect, and enjoy a laid-back evening together. Whether you're a mini golf pro or just in it for the good times, this is the perfect way to invite friends and make some great memories. Don’t miss it!
$10 per kid attending! It will be collected during the registration process :)
