John March grew up for many years in Edina, MN. He studied Computer Engineering in college and then worked as an engineer in industry for a little while upon graduation. After experiencing the power of Christian community to facilitate personal transformation at a church in Chicago, John realized he wanted to help others experience the same thing in their lives. He quit his job and moved to Malawi where he worked as a missionary for one year. Next he went to seminary at Gordon-Conwell where he developed a deep appreciation for the academic study of the Bible and Christian history. He met his wife, Mary in one of his first classes, and not too long after getting married they began working together at Highrock Church in Boston. Ever since, they have been partners in ministry. John is excited about this new church planting adventure. He loves to meet new people, and he believes deeply in the vision of New City Covenant Church.
Mary grew up in a church plant started by her dad in Jersey City, NJ. From a young age, Mary has been involved in ministry. She first felt called to the pastoral vocation after college while working with youth in Staten Island, NY where she watched God do amazing things in the lives of passionate teenagers. She went on to complete two Masters degrees at Gordon-Conwell Seminary, MDiv and a Masters of Counseling. She has worked as a youth pastor, elementary pastor, a college pastor, and she's also engaged in a variety of ministries around the globe. Being married to John, they are both excited about what God is already doing in the church plant.
Jina brings a wealth of experience to the New City staff. She has worked in numerous churches throughout her ministry career. Most recently she worked as a pastor of missions and children at a church in New Jersey. Jina graduated from Biblical Seminary in Philadelphia. Through her studies and ministry experiences, Jina has developed a love for mission work. She loves to see the gospel come alive for people for the first time -- whether that is a young child who is discovering the delight of God or an adult who is finding God afresh.
