ABOUT
ABOUT
The Church has always met a changing world with missional creativity, from monasteries and mission societies to movements that shaped history. The Gospel doesn't change, but the structures that carry it must. That takes builders.
Around the world, a generation of leaders is rising who don't fit existing categories but carry the vision to build what’s next for Gospel impact. Yet, there is no reliable infrastructure to form and launch them at the very moment the Church needs them most. This is the great bottleneck in mission today.
Missional Labs exists to unlock it.
We are a global platform designed to form builders and launch ventures for Gospel impact. By integrating theological formation, venture creation, and a global network of partners, we bridge the gap between pioneering innovation and the established Church. We are a launchpad for builders and a trusted engine of mission for our partners.
To date, we’ve backed 75+ builders across 10+ countries. The future of the Church belongs to today’s builders.
Build with us.
WHO WE SERVE
-
Church planters, ministry founders, and entrepreneurs who see what's missing and are ready to build it.
-
Local churches investing in builders from their own congregation through our programs.
-
Organizations and networks who want to form and launch the next generation of builders across their movements.
-
Funders who invest upstream, in the builders and the infrastructure that makes everything else possible.
OUR APPROACH
We form builders at the intersection of theology, design, and community.
THEOLOGY
Activating Imagination. We ground builders in the Gospel and the mission of God, forming the theological imagination needed to build for new frontiers.
DESIGN
Shaping What’s Next. We equip builders with proven tools to design, test, and launch ventures that work in the real world.
COMMUNITY
Building Together. We connect innovators into a global ecosystem of peers, practitioners, and partners who provide wisdom, support, and momentum.
OUR IMPACT
75+ builders formed across 7 cohorts and over 10 countries. Every builder is shaped through the integration of theology, design, and community and supported as they build.
We Form Missional Builders.
We Build Ventures for Gospel Impact.
Churches, ministries, platforms, and enterprises across over 10 countries — with over a 60% survival rate from zero to launched venture after 3 years. We take the risk on early-stage builders.
We build alongside 30+ partner organizations worldwide, including leading ministries, local churches, denominations, and funders. Each partnership extends our work into new contexts globally.
We Strengthen the Global Church
