COHORTS
Intensive incubation cohorts that help emerging founders design and launch high impact missional ventures.







GO FROM VISION TO VENTURE.
Many founders feel the gap between their calling and their capacity to bring it to life. You have the vision, conviction, and passion, but need the right framework, honest feedback, and a community that shares your mission.
Our cohorts are built for missional leaders like you. Over twelve weeks, you’ll integrate spiritual 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 Gospel movement, this is where your vision takes shape, with mentors, peers, and partners walking alongside you.
