In the fall of 2014, Adamsville Community Baptist Church of Fort Edward, NY caught a vision to start a new church in the neighboring town of Granville, NY where several of their members have lived and worked for years. In November of 2015, Adamsville called Joel Aubrey to spend the year 2016 as their pastoral resident for church planting and to help them prepare a new congregation for church planting. As a part of this process, Joel went through the NAMB church planter assessment and training process and joined the Baptist Convention of New England (BCNE). Joel (and New Creation Church) are also a part of the Treasuring Christ Together Church planting network.
