ABOUT
Activating Missional Imagination.
The world is changing fast. Globalization, technology, and cultural shifts are reshaping our world.
This is a missional challenge for a new generation of Christians. The Church must recover a courageous imagination to faithfully engage our world with the Gospel.
We believe God is raising up a wave of leaders to plant churches, make disciples, build ventures, and start movements. But these leaders need pathways to move from imagination to impact. That's where we come in.
Missional Labs is an innovation lab for the Church. We equip leaders, incubate ideas, and build ventures that serve the Church and engage the world, through deep formation, practical strategy, and dynamic community.
We’re building a community for the future of mission. Join us.
THE CHALLENGE
Billions of people today are unengaged with the Gospel, but the Church is often built for maintenance more than mission, and emerging leaders lack the support to explore what’s next. We need new pathways for missional imagination and innovation.
OUR PATHWAY
IMAGINE
We activate missional imagination, helping churches and leaders explore what God is doing next through formative content, practical tools, and catalytic workshops.
JOURNAL >
DESIGN
We help leaders turn vision into reality, incubating new initiatives that meet today’s mission challenges through cohorts, coaching, and strategic design.
BUILD
We support high-impact ventures with an ecosystem of capital, community, and strategic partners, to amplify their mission and multiply kingdom impact.

OUR FOCUS AREAS
We explore the Church’s timeless mission in today’s world, engaging cities, digital spaces, emerging generations, unreached regions, and more.
