Join Bishop Héctor A. Burgos Núñez, the Rev. Dr. Aaron Bouwens, and the Rev. Abigail Browka as they share the exciting developments in New Faith Communities (NFCs) across Upper New York. For 14 years, United Methodists of Upper New York have been committed to planting NFCs, reaching new people in new places. The New Faith Communities of Upper New York are diverse ethnically, economically, and in the style of providing a way for our church to become more diverse in important ways.
The current grant cycle for New Faith Community application is May 1, 2024. Click here for more information about New Beginnings grants.
As NFCs evolve, so does our understanding of their lifecycle. NFCs are now defined as ministries in their first five years, explicitly built to reach new people, and can choose from four pathways for their future development.
