Announcing our 2026 Spring Summits and Fall Conference!
Christ Our Savior, Christ Our Treasure
A year of celebrating Christ’s work and savoring Christ’s person
The good news of the gospel is not simply that Christ’s redeeming work is gloriously accomplished and Christ’s person is gloriously awesome. It’s that his whole person and his entire work are ours through faith. The greatest benefit of what he’s done is that we can bask in who he is – eternally. He is ours forevermore. Throughout 2026, Small Town Summits will gather small-place New England churches, pastors, and laypeople to exult in the person and work of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Our six Summits in the Spring (one in each of the New England states) will explore Christ’s work as the ground of gospel ministry. Come marvel with us at the sin-defeating cross and the death-conquering resurrection. Consider with us how Christ’s accomplishment secures our redemption and sources our proclamation. What does it look like for ministry to be rooted in Christ’s cross and resurrection? Plenary sessions, a panel discussion, and breakouts at each Summit will be richly theological and rewardingly practical for life and ministry.
The six Spring Summits will build to a special New England-wide Fall conference (in partnership with Desiring God and the Rural Home Missionary Association) focusing on enjoying Christ’s person as the goal of gospel ministry. Plenary teachers from Desiring God will spread a banquet for New England Christians serving in small places. Come, be refreshed and strengthened. Together we’ll drink from the river of his delights. Christ saves us so we can savor him. His dying love secures our eternal joy, and he himself is the source of that joy. We’ll marvel together that he is ours forevermore. Breakout sessions and a plenary panel discussion will provide opportunities to go deep and explore through questioning.
We invite you to save these dates and to join us in 2026 to trust Christ more fully as our Savior and savor him more deeply as our eternal treasure.
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.
