Tom and his wife Laura were saved under the preaching of Dr. Roy Thompson on Sunday, March 19, 1978 at the Cleveland Baptist Church in Brooklyn, OH. Brother Faulk was called to preach in October, just 7 months after he was saved. He enrolled immediately in CBC’s Bible Institute however, after one semester he transferred to enroll at Hyles Anderson College in Crown Point, IN.

NORTHEAST CHURCH PLANTING CONFERENCE

Burdened for the Northeast, and inspired by what other church planting Conferences are accomplishing, Brother Faulk started NCPC in 2016 to assist new church plants in the Northeast. The Conference will conduct its 11th annual fund raising meeting Monday-Tuesday, April 13-14, 2026. NCPC will join the Spring Save New England Conference at Granite State Baptist Church in Concord, NH. In 10 annual meetings (2016-2025) NCPC has raised $419,530 to assist 50 new churches and several restart works in CT, MA, ME, NH, NJ, NY, PA, RI, VT, and Canada.

Our 2-fold Purpose.

1. To Assist. The Northeast Church Planting Conference was not started to replace deputation however, NCPC can accelerate the process, proving to allow the planter to get to his field in a timely manner, or as quickly as reasonably possible without unnecessary delay.
2. To Advance. It is my prayer that the Conference will unite God’s people in a spirit of solidarity, that will prove to maximize our efforts in the advancement of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
