The Mateers
Pastor Joe, Shawna, Grace, Jack, Ella & Charlotte
At the heart of New City Church is a deep desire for people to experience the life-changing love of Jesus. When God called Pastors Joe and Shawna Mateer to plant a church in Naples, Florida, they knew it wasn’t just about launching services—it was about building a spiritual family and igniting a movement of hope, transformation, and belonging.
Pastor Joe is known for his genuine connection with people and a passion that radiates through every conversation. His life’s mission has always been to love others well and point them to Jesus, one relationship at a time. From his roots in Bradenton to this new chapter in Naples, he brings a faith-filled vision: that God is ready to transform this city—one person, one story at a time.

With over 400,000 people in Collier County—and 27% of new residents being millennials—we believe there are thousands who feel hopeless, alone, and far from God. And the growth isn’t slowing down. By 2060, our county is projected to grow by nearly 80%, reaching over 700,000 people. That’s why we’re planting New City Church now.
