Gospel-centered church planting is thriving nationwide — except among the urban poor.

The reason isn’t mysterious: these churches are not financially self-sustaining and these communities are cross-cultural.

These communities are suffering from poverty, violence, abuse and injustice. These communities are suffering from neglect.

But God has a special concern for the poor, and Christ has promised to build his church.

NEU Church Planting equips church planters to build sustainable, diverse, gospel-centered churches among New England’s urban neighborhoods.

Poverty: Beyond the Numbers

In the neighborhood surrounding the NEU office (and in most urban poor communities), the poverty rate is between 45% and 50%. That means a family of four makes less than $24,860 a year. But the dollars are not the only problem, or even the main problem. Poverty generates a complex web of related brokenness, and often leads to a downward spiral of suffering.
