COHORTS
Our cohort programs help ambitious founders design and launch next-generation ministries and kingdom ventures, alongside our team and partners.







GO FROM VISION TO VENTURE.
Most ambitious leaders feel the gap between their calling and their capacity to bring it to life. You may have the conviction and passion for impact, but you need the right framework, honest feedback, and a community that shares your mission. That gap matters, and too many bold ideas stall at the activation stage and never reach real impact.
Our cohorts close that gap. Over twelve weeks, you’ll integrate theology and leadership formation with practical venture design, gaining the clarity, tools, and relationships to move from conviction to launch.
Whether you’re planting a church, starting a redemptive business, launching a ministry, or sparking a movement, this is where your vision takes shape, with mentors, peers, and partners walking alongside you.
Join 60+ alumni around the world shaping the future of mission.
HOW IT WORKS
PROGRAM
FORMATION
Clarify your calling. We ground leaders in spiritual depth and guide them toward a clear vocational vision. In our cohorts, this happens through theological formation, rhythms of prayer, and the development of a personal rule of life.
DESIGN
Launch your venture. We help founders turn good ideas into launch-ready ventures through hands-on coaching and strategic frameworks. You’ll work closely with mentors to refine your strategy, shape your pitch, and map concrete next steps.
COMMUNITY
Find your people. We connect founders to trusted peers, mentors, and partners who walk with them for the long haul. In every cohort, you’ll journey alongside a circle of peers, gain mentor input, and connect with a network of key partners.
