The Blessing Fund offers financial and material support to individuals and families facing hardship, especially economic challenges. We prioritize members of our congregation and those connected to them. By providing assistance with essential needs like rent, food, and utilities, we demonstrate New Community’s compassion and care in a tangible way. Please reach out to a member of our staff if you have questions about the blessing fund or email office@thenewcom to request the blessing fund application form.
The Meals Ministry organizes meal trains for people who are experiencing moments of significant transition or challenge within their household such as medical procedures, welcoming new life, or mourning a loss. Meals can be offered in the form of homemade food, restaurant gift cards, or ordering a meal delivered to the recipient’s house.
If you need a meal train, would like to recommend someone for a meal train, or you are interested in contributing to meal trains for others, please email the Meals Ministry at Meals@thenewcom.com
To help the Pastoral Staff best determine what we can offer on your journey together we ask that you complete the inquiry form as it relates to your wedding/pre-marital counseling request. Please note that our pastors require a minimum of six weeks of premarital counseling to marry you. Pastor X does not provide counseling for couples he is not marrying.
We have reserved parking on W. Logan Blvd, designated with orange cones between N. Francisco Ave. and Sacramento Ave. Parking is also available on W. Schubert Ave., Sacramento Ave. and W. Diversey Ave. within approximately 2 blocks of our church.
