WHAT IS LAUNCH?

Launch is our 2-day intensive for founders building new Gospel ventures. Whether you are starting a church, ministry, media project, or other Gospel venture, Launch helps you clarify what you are building and what it will take to build it well.

CLARIFY THE CALL

Discern the frontier you are called to serve, the problem you are meant to solve, and the kind of venture that work requires.

DESIGN THE VENTURE

Pressure-test your idea through our frameworks, workshops, and feedback. Leave with a clearer model, stronger language, and a more credible next step.

FIND YOUR PEOPLE

Build relationships with other founders and mentors who understand the work. Launch is not just an event. It is an entry point into a larger network.

WORKSHOPS

We’ve distilled our best frameworks into key talks that help you build with clarity.

FOUNDER STORY

Why you? Clarify the story, burden, and conviction behind your venture.

BURDEN

What is missing? Define the deeper problem and the people you are called to serve.

VENTURE DESIGN

What are you building? Name the mission, identity, and shape of the work.

MODEL & STRATEGY

How will it work? Clarify your operating model, early priorities, and path forward.

NARRATIVE

Why should people care? Build language that moves founders, donors, and partners.

IMPACT

What changes if this works? Define the outcomes and markers that matter.

FOR THE BUILDERS.

Launch is for early-stage founders with a burden to build something for the Gospel. Some are planting churches. Some are starting ministries, media ventures, or new missional initiatives. Launch helps founders move from burden to clarity, from instinct to structure, and from isolation to momentum.
