LAUNCH
An intensive for founders building new Gospel ventures.
Join us in Nashville on August 27–28.
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.

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.
