New York City Church

The New York City Church team keeps on growing and growing and growing... I had the opportunity to photograph some of the new team members.

Here are some of my favorites:




Pastor Ed's beautiful wife, Heather.


I must say, it is true, behind every man is a strong (and very beautiful!) woman.


His growing family...


The elders, Pastor Mark & Susan...


...and Pastor Jack & Libby.


The official NYCC Leadership Team


NYCC is a church being planted in the heart of New York City by City Bible Church. The elders will commute back and forth between Portland and the Big Apple until new elders are raised up. (Don't worry, City Bible is not losing some of their best pastors!)

NYCC will be opening their doors October 2007!

The Perfect Princess

Every girl should be treated like a princess on her birthday. This little princess celebrated with her favorite princess from Disney's, The Little Mermaid -- Ariel. Ariel has a mind of her own, full of romantic dreams about the world above the sea. Doesn't this match the description of every five year-old little girl? Emilee's birthday party was everything one could wish for.

Here are a few of my favorites from her special day:




The birthday girl herself with two of her friends.


Of course it wouldn't be a real party without a hat...


without food...


without birthday cake...



without games...



without gifts...


without a candy-filled pinata...


without dancing...


...or without your best friends!


Wouldn't you say her collection's complete? A perfect party for the perfect princess.

Thank you Emilee for letting me be a part of your celebration. May your fifth year be magical and fun!

NYCC

Real. Relevant. Relational.

The purpose for New York City Church is very simple, but the dream, the vision is much more complex. When God says dream big, that is exactly what Pastor Ed has done. As you get off the subway at the corner of 23 Wall St., you will soon see New York City Church - a thriving, contemporary, and culturally relevant church in lower downtown Manhattan. The dream is becoming a reality; for some it is prophesy fulfilled, for some dreams realized, others are hearing the call, being uprooted & shaken and many will soon call this place home.

Meet the pastor...


And his team...






Some friendly faces, prayer warriors & supporters...




There are many new and exciting things happening in Downtown Lower Manhattan. It is no coincidence that NYCC is coming to fruition at this time and for His purpose.

Sometimes we just have to "do what is in our heart to do and don't compromise."
