What Is the Missional Culture Project?
The Missional Culture Project is a cohort-based journey designed for church leaders who want to cultivate a culture of everyday mission within their congregations. Rather than focusing on programs or strategies alone, this experience invites leaders to rediscover a deeper way of forming disciples and engaging their communities.
Through a combination of training, coaching, and shared learning, leadership teams are guided through a process that helps shift the imagination of their churches toward a more sustainable missional way of life.
Opening & Closing Retreats
Two in-person retreats in Colorado Springs to prepare, reflect, and celebrate the journey together.
Year-Long Team Training
Monthly online training for a team of five leaders exploring the core principles of missional culture.
Dedicated Coaching
Each church is paired with a coach who understands your ministry context and walks alongside you.
