The Synod of the Northeast is committed to nurturing and incubating innovation in Presbyterian gospel communities within our geographic bounds.
We believe that innovation in ministry leads us into our own particular Reformed witness and mission in the Northeast of the United States. By investing in ministries that are leading us into spaces previously unexplored, we find deep hope in what God has in store for the future of the church.
Our commitments are expressed in a few key areas: engaging in racial justice and reconciliation, providing unencumbered space and community for young ministry leaders, and funding and cultivating emerging gospel communities and innovative projects. In God’s call for us to provide that which congregations and presbyteries cannot do on their own, we also strive to support the leadership of these church bodies in flexible and nimble ways.
The Synod of the Northeast granted more than $2.3 million to a variety of emerging gospel communities, innovative projects, campus ministries, and more. We value each of these communities that we interact with as partners in ministry; we learn so much from them in their hands-on, day-to-day ministry.
