Called by Jesus beyond the familiar to influence our changing world
What We Do

Churches
We work to equip churches to reimagine all it means to live on mission and make disciples in their immediate context.
Multiplication
We work to multiply movements of new disciples, leaders, and new expressions of church to reach the world of tomorrow.
Leaders
We work to see leaders continually transformed through deep intimacy with Christ and personal engagement in His mission to the world.
Moving Beyond
Jesus is always calling us beyond status quo and into lives of transformational intimacy, sacrificial mission, the adventure of multiplication, and supernatural expectation. We believe Jesus is pursuing you and we’d like to help.

Article

The question is, how do we actually position ourselves to receive the spiritual authority God would like to pour out over us? What does that posture look like?

Leading in a Changing World
Article
Ingrown, consumeristic, churches often have robust missional slogans, but sorely lack a functional, missional DNA. It is possible to reinvent such churches and help them become authentic, outwardly focused conduits of the gospel. However, this transformation requires the power of Jesus and extra-ordinary courageous leaders who stay the course until such costly change becomes evident.
