A path toward a fruitful healthy church

  • Nurture a healthy pastoral family.

  • Cultivate a biblically faithful church.

  • Grow your church’s community impact.

The Church exists for nothing else but to draw humankind into Christ.

C.S. Lewis

A Critical Mission Field

There are an estimated 7 million people living in New England who say religion is not important to them, and they seldom or never attend services.  (2018 Gallup Poll)

New England is one of the most challenging places to be a pastor in America

  • Lowest church attendance in the country

    Some areas see less than 10% engagement in churches

  • Nearly 40% of pastors are considering quitting (Barna)

    This is happening everywhere, but it is far worse in specific areas of New England

  • Church Community Impact is in steep decline

    Communities, businesses, schools have far less connection to churches than in other regions of the US.

We believe God is at work in New England

And we are called to help.
