Your Church Can Thrive—Not Just Survive
Eighty-six churches close every Sunday. Let’s make sure yours isn’t one of them.
Is your church facing decline, transition, or uncertainty? You’re not alone—and you don’t have to navigate it alone. At Neighborhood Churches, we help churches move from a “legacy mindset” to a “Kingdom mindset,” focusing on Christ’s work for generations to come.
We walk alongside pastors and leaders to provide practical guidance and long-term solutions
A Vision for Multiplication
It takes faithful Christians to plant and revitalize churches. As your church or ministry joins us for a Vision Trip Weekender, and as God may call men and women from your congregation to serve in New Bedford, we pray that these shared burdens become the fuel God uses to change the spiritual direction of our city through church multiplication.
Here’s the encouraging truth: God can use your church to help plant a new church in New Bedford. Since the first-century church, the Great Commission has been faithfully carried forward through the sacrificial commitment of established churches working together to birth new ones.
A Pathway to Mission, Planting, and Multiplication
Churches in our neighborhoods can flourish—but it requires intentional partnership and a shared response to the Great Commission. While many churches desire to see the Commission fulfilled, few have historically sent missionaries or planted churches from within their own congregations.
We believe our cities—like New Bedford—are the ideal place for churches to call, train, and send leaders who will transform neighborhoods through the gospel.
