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

NEU provides contextualized training for the cross-cultural nature of inner city planting, and provides fund-raising coaching and support. Planters raise funds just as a missionary would. We do not expect our pastors to be bi-vocational, nor to be supported fully by the church.

We provide a two-year pastoral apprentice program with hands-on mentoring, care, and guidance. We work in partnership with Acts 29 for pastoral assessments. We also draw on the resources of 20schemes, 9 Marks, Church in Hard Places, and the EFCA.
