Planting Gospel Churches in the Forgotten Neighborhoods of New Bedford and Fall River

Since 2005, the North American Mission Board has planted over 100 churches in the greater Boston area. Yet in the cities of New Bedford and Fall River, only one church has been planted. We are praying that God would change this—and inviting your church to be part of that work.

Neighborhood Churches is committed to planting and revitalizing churches in the overlooked neighborhoods of New Bedford and Fall River, Massachusetts. Through careful research, we have identified communities ready for new gospel ministry—places with an available church building, a dense population, and a natural hub where the community gathers.

These neighborhoods are hungry for hope. With the help of Great Commission partners like you, we pray that the Lord will raise up thriving gospel churches in these communities for generations to come.

“With the help of Great Commission partners like you, we aim to establish gospel-exalting churches in these forgotten neighborhoods—for generations to come.”
