About
The world needs a compelling witness.
Billions of people lack meaningful Gospel engagement today, from secular cities, to the global unreached, to the next generation.
This is a crisis of imagination, and calls for courageous leaders to explore the gaps and pioneer new ways forward.
But innovation in the Church is complicated. We need better support pathways for emerging ideas, leaders, and movements.
That’s where we come in. We help the Church reimagine mission, by supporting the ideas, leaders, and ministries shaping the future of mission around the world.
Our ecosystem approach blends the best of theology, leadership, and social entrepreneurship, and connects pioneers to the content, coaching, capital, and community they need for the long term.
We’re building the innovation sector for the Great Commission. Join us.
