Advancing Church Planting in New England

Recruiting and Cultivating Church Planters

Our goal is to ‘spread the net’ as wide as possible to recruit and support church planters.  We do this at the BCNE through…

Mission Teams

For Prayer walking, mission projects and outreach events.  God often uses a mission trip to call people to New England Ministry or Church Planting.

Exploratory Partnership Trips

For the prospective church planter to sense the Holy Spirit leading for the place they are to start a church and to meet a community of other ministry leaders for community.

For the Partnership Church to see the mission field and meet prospective pastors/planters for relational, spiritual and possibly financial support.

Spiritual Heritage Tour

To introduce pastors, planters, ministry leaders and lay people to the spiritual history of New England and invite them to give, plant, or connect into the BCNE Network.

Next Gen Missional Training

For recruiting, training and developing young people for participating or starting new ministries or missions in New England or abroad.

Churches Planting Churches

These are the churches that are actively developing and sending out leaders to start churches. In addition, churches that financially support new churches in New England.

NE Events and Networks and National Church Planting Events

For recruiting planters in Small Town Summits, Vitality Conference, Church Planting Retreat and Seminars, Vision New England, Seminaries, Associations, etc.

ChurchPlantingNE.com & Social Media

The website introduces multipliers, gives an overview of the church planting pathway, downloadable resources, and more to give a potential church planter an opportunity to learn and inquire. SEO and google ads will bring traffic to the site. The Facebook page for Church Planting will be once again populated with regular posts.

 

Churches Sponsoring Ethnic Pastors

Recruiting and developing churches to sponsor immigrant pastors for church planting.
