We have been given an amazing opportunity to have an active part in the planting of another church. We are partnered with Grace Harbor Church which was planted in New Bedford, MA at the start of COVID-19. All but the worst time to engage your community. But through the power of God using his obedient children they have not only scene growth but are now continuing the great commission by planting another church in Fairhaven! I know Massachusetts is a good ways away from our town and and it is very easy to forget that their are people all across our country and the world who are spreading the light of Jesus Christ in the darkest of areas. So let us pray with humbled hearts how each of us can help support the ministry of "Neighborhood Churches" as we raise money to help our brothers and sisters in Christ and pray that they reach their neighborhoods with the Gospel.
The Lord has done something extraordinary.
Through remarkable generosity, Neighborhood Churches has received a $400,000 gift — and every dollar of it is waiting to be matched, dollar for dollar, through June 7, 2026.
We’re calling this opportunity the Mustard Seed Campaign.
Jesus reminds us in the Gospel of Matthew that the kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed — small, almost unnoticed — yet destined to grow into something far greater than anyone expects. What may seem modest in the hands of many becomes transformative in the hands of God.
If this match is fully funded, we will invest these resources into three lasting gospel initiatives in the forgotten places of southern New England:
• A Church Plant in Fairhaven – We will purchase a historic church building and property in Fairhaven for our new church plant, establishing a long-term gospel presence in that community.
• A Ministry Center in New Bedford – We will complete renovations on our future Ministry Center in New Bedford, creating space for training, discipleship, mercy ministry, and church planting development.
• A Ministry Worker Endowment Fund – We will establish a fund designed to support and send future church planters for generations to come.
This is a rare window of opportunity. Every dollar given is doubled. Every gift becomes twice the investment. We do not want to leave a single dollar on the table.
Would you prayerfully consider giving to the Mustard Seed Campaign? Your generosity today will plant seeds that, by God’s grace, will bear fruit for decades to come.
Help us see this $400,000 fully matched — and watch what the Lord will grow.
