Short-Term Projects

Has God put New England on your heart? Consider serving a New England church by filling an important need. Our current list includes requests for outreach events, prayer walking, construction projects, and more.

Browse the list below to find mission team requests submitted to us by BCNE churches from around New England. Please contact each church directly for more information.

Please note: We expect (1) that all mission teams will be trained in children’s safety and (2) that every individual working with children or youth will have a valid, up-to-date background check. We offer training resources here. You can also learn more and find some possible resources for background checks at our safety and security resources page.

(BCNE churches that are interested in requesting a mission team or partner can fill out a partnership request form or contact your regional coordinator.)

    Huntington Street Baptist Church meets in a historic 1840s church building that is in need of exterior power washing and painting.

Massachusetts

  • Construction (Sterling, MA)

    Hope Chapel has experienced incredible growth, planted a new thriving congregation, assisted several local churches in revitalization, been among the top 5 mission supporting churches among the Baptist Churches of New England, and has active partnerships in Rwanda and Ireland.

    God is now clearly leading in An Open Door For Hope. This Open Door will lead into a 14,500 square foot addition which will more than double the size of their current facility. The larger Worship Center and additional classrooms will provide the tools Hope needs to provide the door of hope to the 50,000 people who live within five miles of their campus and do not know Christ.

    Hope Chapel is seeking teams in May-October of 2025 to assist with the initial phases of the building project.

Vermont

  • Community Outreach and Construction (Barre, VT)

    *Team may need to complete children’s safety training.

    ENOUGH Ministries is a multi-campus church serving Barre and the Route 2 corridor in rural Vermont. They have established incredible year-round outreach programs for the marginalized and would love to work with a partner church to learn and implement new strategies for reaching their community.
