In 2022, Grace Harbor Church purchased the crack house located next door to the church. When it is completely renovated, it will provide a community center for the city, offices for Neighborhood Churches HQ, and mission team lodging for all of our ministry partners.
Our 2022 Weekender was not only one to remember, but it was our first one. This was our first time to bring people in from all around the country, and show off our city and ministry in all her glory. It was special.

Diana’s testimony is a powerful example of God pursuing her with the love of a Father, after she experienced the loss of her dad at a young age.
April’s story is one about not only finding the Lord, but finding a family among the Lord’s people. True biblical community reshapes our understanding of family and makes us spiritual siblings through the blood of Christ.
Legalism always promises closeness to God— but it only produces exhaustion, insecurity, and pride. It creates anxious Christians, but the gospel creates rested and secure Christians. People who obey God not because they are trying to earn sonship/daughtership—but because, through Christ, they already belong to the Father. This is Pam’s beautiful story.
Our annual Weekender is an opportunity for Pastor’s (Elders) and their wives to come and explore all that Neighborhood Churches is. Come taste and see what we are doing, and how your church can not only be a part of it, but grow from it.
We want to capture and call the hearts of your high school students to consider giving their lives to the mission of God vocationally. This is an opportunity for your church to bring a group of students to be encouraged, challenged, and trained to make Jesus’ last words to “go and make disciples” their first priority!
Growing up Catholic, but never knowing Jesus. This story is a testimony of God’s kindness in saving the loss, and over time, growing them in spiritual maturity. Learning to lean on the Lord and following Him through the hard is only possible by a work of the Spirit.
Just because you grow up with Christian parents, doesn’t make you a Christian. This is Joel’s story. It was through the local church that God began to confront some of his assumptions about his faith. Watch this story of redemption.
“Could I be a full-time missionary?” Perhaps you feel called to missions, but not going overseas. If this is you, we invite you to come learn, explore, and consider what it would be like to be a missionary in New England.
Missy’s story and testimony reminds us that God uses local neighborhood churches to reach those who live in neighborhoods. God not only saves the lost, but he plants new spiritual family trees for generations to come!
