LEADERSHIP

We believe the Bible prescribes that each local church is to be led by a plurality of pastors who meet the qualifications given in scripture.

Pastors are responsible for spiritual oversight of the church, including regular pastoral care, preaching, prayer, doctrinal purity, and exercising leadership with all diligence and care for the growth and health of our church family.

Our church leadership team also includes deacons who are appointed by the pastors to serve and care for the various needs of the church, as well as pastoral residents who are participating in a training and discernment process for possible future pastoral ministry.

Pastors

Josh Hibbard

LEAD PASTOR / ELDER
Josh has served as lead pastor of New City since 2018. Prior to pastoring New City, he studied at Moody Bible Institute (B.A.) and Trinity Evangelical Divinity School (M.A.), and served as a pastor in the Chicago area for six years. He is passionate about being an ordinary pastor, preaching/teaching, and seeing the church live together as family.
Josh enjoys an ever-changing array of hobbies, from chess to running marathons. He and Carley have been happily married since 2013. They have one son, Nolan.
Milt Reynolds

LAY PASTOR / ELDER
Milt and Robin have been married since 1981 and have three grown children and one grandchild. Milt has worked as a teacher, a volunteer firefighter and medic, and an instructor in a prison.
Serving as one of the pastors of New City Church, Milt is grateful for opportunities to preach and teach. He desires to become sincerely consistent in praying for all the members, creatively courageous in befriending his neighbors, joyfully content in whatever situation God brings into his life here on earth, and eagerly waiting to fully know and enjoy God forever.
Heath Kemper

LAY PASTOR / ELDER
Heath and Casey have been part of New City since 2014 and are parents to two energetic children. Heath is particularly interested in spiritual formation, building strong church community, grace in practice, and thinking about the ways in which faith relates to culture. He enjoys reading, music, film, cooking, coffee, and travel, and would be happy to have a long conversation with you about any of these.
Heath grew up in western Oregon in a church his grandparents helped to plant and came to faith in Jesus at a young age. He married Casey and moved to Idaho in 2009. Heath holds an M.A. in English and has worked as, among other things, a college instructor, a video producer, a wedding DJ, a mail carrier, and a custodian—although not necessarily in that order. He currently works as a freelance media production consultant, as well as leading a gospel community with Casey and coordinating New City’s music and tech teams.
Mitch Squires

LAY PASTOR / ELDER
Mitch has been serving New City since August 2021. He grew up in New Mexico and attended a local church with his family. In college, while attending a small church plant, Mitch came to a deeper understanding of the gospel, giving him the framework to see how grace brings freedom from sin and empowers believers to become like Jesus. This experience transformed his relationship with Jesus and eventually awakened a desire to become a pastor.
Mitch and Anjali got married in 2019 while they were attending seminary together. Mitch holds a Masters in Theology with an emphasis in the New Testament from Dallas Theological Seminary. During seminary, Mitch worked as a hospital chaplain and he currently works in sales at a local recruiting agency.
Mitch is particularly interested in Bible literacy and interpretation, expository preaching, and cultivating spiritual health and maturity in the local church. He enjoys reading, authentic and thought-provoking conversations, backpacking, camping, and generally enjoying God by being outdoors with good friends.
