About Us

 


A Vision for the New England Conference

Transformed by the Holy Spirit,
       united in trust,
we will proclaim Christ
  boldly to the world.   

Our Mission Statement

Our Mission as the New England Conference is to equip, connect, and support local, regional, and global ministries to make disciples of Jesus Christ, and to serve all in his name.   

Our Five Critical Issues

Spiritual Life - We are a people who yearn for God and seek healing and spiritual life through Jesus Christ in order to be united in trust and mission.

Evangelism and Church Growth - As a people who yearn for God, we recognize that others yearn with us, and we will reach new people with the Gospel of Christ.

Area Diversity - As a people who yearn for God, we recognize that racism and all forms of discrimination undermine our ability to further the ministry of Christ.

Equipping Leadership - As a people who yearn for God, we will equip our churches, clergy, and laity for unabashed pursuit of effective ministry.

Stewardship - As a people who yearn for God, we will be connected and accountable to God and to each other in the ways all our resources support the shared ministries of our congregations, our conference in New England, and Church throughout the world.
