  • The Missional Labs Accelerator is a 9-month formation and venture-building journey for growth-stage ministry founders.

    We combine spiritual growth, expert coaching, and strategic connections to help you grow as a leader and build something transformational for God’s Kingdom.

  • This program is for bold, imaginative Christian leaders who are building innovative ministries (i.e. media initiatives, technology, discipleship, missions, church planting) for the Kingdom.

    The fellowship is for “growth stage” leaders who are like 5-10 years into building their organization.

  • The program costs $5000 (USD) per venture. We price this like an intense year of grad school.

    Thanks to our generous supporters, we cover most program costs, including resources, venues, lodging, and meals during our in-person gatherings.

    Participants are responsible for travel expenses. Some financial aid is available to ensure the program is accessible.

  • The program runs from September to May, with three in-person events (4-5 days each) and virtual learning in between. Weekly commitment varies but averages 5–10 hours, including online sessions, mentoring, and venture work.

  • We’re looking for leaders and ventures in these sectors, globally:

    • Church Planters & Network Leaders – Starting new churches, leading multi-site models, or expanding discipleship communities.

    • Evangelism & Discipleship Innovators – Pioneering new methods for outreach, digital evangelism, or faith formation.

    • Faith-Driven Entrepreneurs & Social Impact Leaders – Launching ventures in education, faith-based media, or marketplace ministry.

    • Missional Technologists – Developing digital tools, AI solutions, or platforms for Gospel engagement.

    • Movement Catalysts – Building networks that equip and mobilize leaders for large-scale impact.

  • We don’t provide direct funding at this time. Instead, we connect you with a close community of values-aligned funders through our pitch events and networks. We believe there’s significant capital ready to support Great Commission work, and our goal is to be the premier community for funders seeking innovative ventures in the "Church and Ministry" space.

  • When you graduate, you join a growing alumni network of missional leaders who continue to support each other. You’ll also have ongoing access to resources, relationships, and opportunities to scale your impact. You’re part of our global network forever.
