NETS is dedicated to planting gospel-driven churches in New England and abroad. Since its incorporation in 2000, we have had the privilege of planting four healthy churches, three in hard New England soil, and one in Cameroon, Africa:
Christ Memorial Church, Williston, VT
Christ Memorial Church (CMC), established in 1992 by Rev. Wes Pastor, is a pioneering work in an area of New England that has been resistant to the gospel. From the outset, this church plant was committed to the core conviction that the gospel of Jesus Christ, the theme of every book of the Bible, is the power of God to salvation to everyone who believes. Today God has been pleased to raise up a growing church with an average attendance of over 450 each Sunday morning. CMC has seen many credible professions of faith, and many who are already in Christ growing in their commitment to Him and to gospel-centered living. NETS, a controlled corporation of Christ Memorial Church, implements the vision of the church by planting healthy, Gospel-driven, reproducing churches in New England and abroad.
Christ Redeemer Church, Hanover, NH

Christ Redeemer Church of Hanover, New Hampshire, was launched in 2000 by Rev. Don Willeman, and has a strong outreach to both the community and nearby Dartmouth College. Now with attendance over 200, the church meets at Hanover High School while continuing to pursue a building or building site in the Hanover area. NETS still provides ongoing mentoring and financial support to this thriving church plant.
Redeeming Grace Church, Georgia, VT
In 2005, NETS facilitated the planting of Redeeming Grace Church in Northern Vermont pastored by Rev. Paul Maffin. While meeting in various school locations, their average Sunday attendance grew to about 120. Thanks in part to NETS, construction of a new church building in Georgia was completed in March 2010. Redeeming Grace continues to receive NETS coaching as well as financial support, enabling the church to grow in this more permanent home and seek an associate pastor.
Redeemer Baptist Church, Cameroon (Africa)
Launched in 2005, Redeemer Baptist Church of Bamenda, Cameroon, is the first overseas NETS church plant. Pastored by Residency Program graduate Rev. Sam Jato, Redeemer Baptist now sees regular Sunday attendance of over 400. The church, which will be a base for NETS-Africa, meets in a building financed by NETS and constructed by a mission team from Christ Memorial Church. Rev. Jato and Redeemer Baptist continue to receive significant mentoring as well as financial support through the NETS Field Program.
Redeemer Fellowship Church, Boston, MA
Redeemer Fellowship Church held its first Sunday morning service on Septmeber 27, 2009, in a beautiful church building purchased by NETS. Led by Rev. Chris Bass, a NETS graduate and Southern Seminary Ph.D., this church plant is well positioned to minister the gospel to students and families in the Cambridge, Mass., area. This needy region of New England, home to over 250,000 students from schools like Harvard and MIT, is essentially unchurched, with roughly 2% evangelical church attendance. In addition to funding the building, NETS provides Redeemer Fellowship with ongoing financial support and mentoring.
