J-T Richards

Pastor J-T’s bio:

“God rescued me at the age of fifteen.  In many ways God continues to rescue me.   Through many circumstances, twists, and turns God led me to plant and lead New City Church in Grand Rapids, Michigan.  I’ve been married for over seventeen years.  At my best I don’t deserve my wife (and at her worst she doesn’t deserve me).  I am humbled to be a father to three of the greatest kids in the world.  I bleed Boston Celtic green and love to fiddle with computers.  I am a Linux nerd and write my sermons in LaTeX (a typesetting program).”

J-T was on staff at Calvary Church for three years as a Pastoral Resident.  Calvary sent him to plant New City Church which launched on Easter Sunday, 2011.  He is currently a student at Grand Rapids Theological Seminary and is the Lead Pastor of New City Church.
