New England

New England offers an opportunity to serve Christ in a highly unreached area of our nation. Teams serve through VBS, sports camps, backyard Bible clubs, block parties, new construction, renovation, and more.

Overview

The New England region is richly blessed with natural beauty – from rugged coastline to mountain vistas. Small hamlets, rural farms, and quaint fishing villages give New England its charm. Composed of Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Maine, the region has a population of over 15.4 million people. Most New Englanders are a hardy people who enjoy the outdoors and are passionate about their sports teams. The majority of New Englanders, though, are spiritually lost. Less than 3% of the population attend an evangelical church. At least 1,000 towns and villages in New England have no evangelical presence. All six New England states consistently appear in Gallup’s top 12 list of the “least religious states.” Despite these daunting statistics, God is at work in New England! People are being discipled and new churches are being planted. God has opened the door for mission teams to play an important part. Check out how your church might be involved!
