When looking through New England for places to start a church, it would be easy to overlook Newport. With 4,000 people, there is more to this area than meets the eye! Newport is the largest city and the hub of the “Northeast Kingdom” region of Vermont.
The Northeast Kingdom is by far the most conservative region of Vermont, yet there are few good churches. People in this region are used to driving to Newport for many of their needs and they would go there for church as well. This important fact increases the ministry radius of this small town. A soul-winning church in Newport could minister to the entirety of this
region.
