(Meet the team)

The people you'll meet.

Real people, learning to follow Jesus right alongside you. Say hi on a Sunday, we'd love to know you.

Pastor Abbie leads New Culture on a part-time stipend alongside her full-time work as a therapist. Everyone else on the team, directors and board included, serves as a volunteer, so that more of what's given goes back into the church and our community.
