These ventures have been carefully selected by our team as part of our global application process. They’re pioneering, creative, and humble. We believe in them, and think you will too.

The accelerator is our global fellowship program for early-stage missional ventures. We select 12 ventures from around the world, working on new approaches to mission that we think have the potential for impact on the spiritual landscape of the future.
The 9 month program is peer-intensive and mentor-intensive, and fellows will pitch their vision 8 times through the program, across 3 city gatherings, to supportive rooms of pastors, leaders, and funders, to help them further advance their work.
-
In each of the cities in the program, we invite a small showcase of leaders from the city and region to come interact with our fellows and hear their pitches.
This isn’t shark tank, nor is it a “performance.” Some of these ideas are still in their early stages and will evolve over time. It’s rather meant to be an opportunity to connect, encourage, and be inspired by emerging missional ventures.
