About

Advancing the New Global Mission.

The world is changing rapidly.  Today’s Church faces megacities, digital culture, emerging generations, and billions of unreached people. Meeting this moment with the Gospel requires courageous imagination.

We believe the Spirit is raising up a new wave of missional leaders to pioneer the Gospel in fresh ways. But emerging leaders often feel uncertain about how to turn big vision into tangible reality.

To reach today’s world, we need a new model of missional leadership - one that equips pioneers with the tools they need to launch courageous, contextual ministries and movements.

That’s where we come in - Missional Labs is an accelerator for modern mission. We help leaders build innovative ministries and movements that advance the Great Commission for the next generation.

We bring integrated content, coaching, community, and capital within a future-focused ecosystem, to help the Church reimagine mission for the modern world.
