2025 ITINERARY
NEW ENGLAND BAPTIST FELLOWSHIP
Brother Faulk has been the moderator of the New England Baptist Fellowship since 2015. The Fellowship was founded in 1978, to encourage pastors and ministry leaders.
NORTHEAST CHURCH PLANTING CONFERENCE
Burdened for the Northeast, and inspired by what other church planting Conferences are accomplishing, Brother Faulk started the NCPC in 2016 to assist new church plants and restart works in the Northeast. The Conference will conduct its 11th annual meeting, Monday-Tuesday, March 2-3, 2026. In 10 annual meetings (2016-2025) NCPC has raised $419,530 to assist nearly 50 works in CT, MA, ME, NH, NJ, NY, PA, RI, VT, and Canada.
Our 2-fold Purpose.
- To Assist. Conference offerings are not designed to replace deputation but church planting Conference’s will accelerate the process, allowing the church planter to get the field in a timely manner.
- To Advance. It is my prayer that the Conference will unite God’s people in a spirit of solidarity, that will prove to maximize our efforts in the advancement of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
