We are passionate about seeing a wide variety of New Places for New People across the Connexion that are contextually relevant to your area.
New Places for New People can be started anywhere, in diverse contexts. The Methodist Church has suggested the contexts and people groups below as priorities.
As the work of NPNP develops we will share the learning from these focused streams and develop resources for potentially replicable models.
