NEU Church Planting seeks to plant churches in urban neighborhoods where there are no gospel preaching churches within a reasonable walking distance of the core population.
We seek to plant in the following top ten population cities of New England:
- Boston
- Worcester
- Providence
- Springfield
- Bridgeport
- New Haven
- Hartford
- Stamford
- Waterbury
- Manchester
While estimates are hard to nail down, it is safe to say that there is less than one gospel church for every 8,000 people in these communities. For the church planter, these cities represent great need, but also great opportunity. You will not be seeking to grow a church in a church-saturated community. Instead, you will be serving in a neighborhood where the laborers are few (Matthew 9:37-38) but the harvest is great.
