Abide & Bear Much Fruit
At the 2025 Annual Conference, District Superintendent Sam Huggard shared a vision for planting 30 churches in the next 10 years. This God-sized vision will require extraordinary prayer, intentional training, and partnerships for church planting. For 2026, we are calling NEDA churches to join with New England churches across denominational lines following the New England Revival Prayer Covenant. Join us in seeking the Lord for the renewal of his church in New England!
“When God has something very great to accomplish for his church, it is his will that there should preceed it the extraordinary prayers of his people.”
- Jonathan Edwards
