With Holy Spirit-Powered Growth, SNEC Ranks #1 in North American Division for Church Plants Per Member

At a SNEC-hosted ACTS church planting training session, church planters share how they got started.

The Holy Spirit is doing something truly extraordinary in Southern New England Conference (SNEC). A report at the North American Division (NAD) year-end meeting revealed that the Southern New England Conference ranks #1 in church plants per member.

Even when compared to much larger fields across the NAD — Texas Conference, with nearly 70,000 members, and Carolina Conference, with an almost 30% larger membership than us — SNEC still stands #3 in total new churches planted.

In just three years, God has done something extraordinary through our pastors and members’ faithful service:

27 new companies officially organized

16 new churches officially organized

23 mission groups in the process of organization

25 churches revitalized

3,000 baptisms in three years

 • 2023 — 1,017

 • 2024 — 1,245

 • 2025 — 738 (as of October)

These numbers aren’t just statistics. Each represents a story of redemption, a family transformed, a city reached, a flame rekindled. Every new church plant is living proof that the Word still grows even in the toughest soil.

A Word of Gratitude

    •    To our pastors — thank you for your unwavering commitment, your creativity, your courage, and your faith. We don’t simply want pastors who work, we want pastors who work with joy, knowing that they are part of something eternal.

    •    To our staff and departmental leaders — thank you for your tireless support, coordination, and excellence. You are the invisible backbone that sustains every victory.

    •    To the SNEC leadership team and every department — thank you for keeping the mission first. Our structure exists for one purpose only: to advance the cause of Christ.

United in the Word, Focused on the Mission

Together, we are not just an organization, we are a movement, a people anchored in Scripture, guided by the Spirit, and driven by the mission to proclaim the Three Angels’ Messages with power and grace.

May we continue to plant, preach, baptize, and disciple, with hearts burning for the return of Jesus.

The Holy Spirit is competent.

God’s mission is alive.

The flame of revival is burning brightly in Southern New England!
