Announcing our 2027 Summits!

Proclaim His Excellencies

Everyday Evangelism for all New England

Many New England Christians feel the weight of living in a world that is disinterested or hostile to the Christian gospel. Many feel the weight of the call to reach their lost neighbors yet often feel ill-equipped, ineffective, discouraged, or fearful.

The early Christian recipients of Peter’s first epistle also lived in a hostile world, experiencing slander and suffering. Yet for Peter, there was no hopeless sadness or defensive crouch. His letter abounds with hopeful joy and missional zeal. Christians are to share their faith with unbelievers, proclaiming the excellencies of God and sharing the reason for their hope with all who ask. Peter’s evangelistic vision remains compelling and attractive today. The gospel word still brings new birth and miraculously transforms lives, offering imperishable hope for all who believe.

In our 2027 summits, we’ll be inspired and encouraged as we learn from the Apostle Peter why and how Christ’s followers can be hopeful, happy, holy, and humble in declaring the gospel. Through robust biblical teaching, practical breakouts, discussion, fellowship, and prayer we will come together to gaze on the excellencies of Christ, call upon God to draw those in our towns to Christ, and go together to proclaim Christ in our daily lives.

The goal of Small Town Summits is to see the small places of New England filled with gospel-centered, community-engaged churches and Christian workers, for the glory of God.

Partnering with The Gospel Coalition New England, we host one-day Summits and one-day training sessions throughout New England to provide encouragement, connection, and equipping for small-town pastors, laypeople, and churches. Additionally, STS Articles (written by small-town pastors from around New England) and the STS Podcast (featuring small-town ministry stories from New England and beyond) make the ministry of the Summits more available to you, wherever you live.
