New City Fellowship - Atlantic City NJ
Equip your team with a vision for racial reconciliation, cross-cultural urban ministry, mercy and development ministry among the poor, and joy in worship in Ventnor and Atlantic City, NJ.
Join with New City Fellowship of AC, Hope for Atlantic City (HFAC), and Mission to North America to assist in the evangelism and development of urban neighborhoods in Atlantic City.

NCF and HFAC seek to be a bridge to all of the residents and provide mercy and development opportunities for the future of the neighborhood.
