ABOUT

WE BACK MISSIONAL INNOVATORS.

The world is changing fast. Globalization, technology, and cultural shifts are reshaping how people live, think, and believe.

This is a missional challenge. The Church must recover a courageous imagination to meet this moment with clarity, creativity, and conviction.

We believe God is raising up a new generation of leaders, to be church planters, disciple-makers, entrepreneurs, missionaries, and pioneers. But they need better support pathways to move from imagination to impact.

That’s where we come in.

Missional Labs is an innovation partner for the Church. We help leaders, churches, and networks launch Gospel-centered ventures that address the mission challenges of our time, through spiritual formation, venture design, and global community.

The future of the Church is shaped by today’s pioneers. Build with us.

THE CHALLENGE

Who will shape the future of mission? Billions of people are unengaged with the Gospel, and the Church is often built for maintenance more than mission. We need new models for 21st century mission and better pathways for imagination and innovation on the frontiers of the Church.
