Cultural Alignment
DEI/CRT language? Social justice crowding out gospel?
Self-identifies as 'Christ-Centered Cross-Cultural Worshipping Community' with dedicated 'Racial Reconciliation' focus. Gospel framing: 'people of every race, language, and culture will worship and work together as one beautiful community reconciled by the redeeming work of Jesus' — racial reconciliation grounded in Christ's work. Remains yellow pending closer review of whether gospel is primary or subsumed.
Caution
Accountability Structure

PCA.

Assessment
New City Fellowship Chattanooga is a PCA congregation in the Glenwood neighborhood with a multi-ethnic emphasis. Two pastors (McKillop and James). The New City Fellowship network has historically prioritized racial reconciliation — commendable if gospel-centered, concerning if social justice framework dominates. No men's ministry found. Verify cultural posture before committing.
