Planting gospel-centered, 
compassionate churches in overlooked areas

We believe the greatest mercy for our ravaged inner cities is the gospel of Jesus Christ. Only the gospel has the power to transform lives broken by abuse, violence, addiction, and trauma. We also believe that gospel-minded churches are compassionate and care for the overlooked as Christ did. We have decades of church experience planting, pastoring, and caring for leaders. We understand New England and are constantly growing in our understanding of the inner city. Be sure to read more about our Mission and Vision.

God has a special heart for the poor. And at the center of God’s mission is the local church. Yet the church planting movement of the past 40 years has has failed to plant local churches among the inner city poor. Only 2% of new churches are planted in low-income urban communities. NEU Church Planting is addressing this problem in New England.

God calls us to a spirit of generosity. That’s why NEU is also committed to helping generous givers be good stewards of their wealth as they care for the poor.

At NEU Church Planting, we hire our church plant team members full time. We consider them to be missionaries, supported to work in churches that will never be financially self-sustaining. In this way, we operate like a missions organization. Together, our planters and our support staff work to raise the necessary funds.

Your partnership is essential. Just as missionaries need financial support, so do our planters. But we don’t consider our donors to be human ATM machines. Rather, they are partners who can get to know our planters, attend a vision trip, and watch churches grow. We care that our donors experience the joy of giving.

We also invite churches into our Seven Sisters Church Partnership. For each of our church plants, we seek seven churches who provide prayer, financial support, and personal connections.
