Develop a thriving, transformational ministry with our Theological Innovation Process.
Leading a thriving ministry requires more than just a good idea. The Ministry Transformation Lab brings together design thinking, practical theology, and asset-based community development to help your faith community transform how you develop ministries.
Starting something new or making a change can feel overwhelming. But with the right support, it can be a journey of joy and growth for your community. Our consultants will help you assemble a team to examine your faith community’s culture, explore existing assets, and discern how God is calling your faith community to grow.

Our five-phase process will lead you to develop a healthy, thriving ministry.
One of our consultants will guide you and your team through our multi-month Theological Innovation Process. We’ll help you assess the health of your faith community’s culture. Then your team will explore the needs and assets in your community and discern ministry opportunities.
Next, you’ll prototype ideas in your context and build a strategy to make the new ministry sustainable. Our staff will support you every step of the way and customize the experience to your unique needs.
Your team will meet monthly throughout the Lab, with an occasional activity in between meetings. Team Coordinators meet one-on-one with one of our consultants for coaching.
Every Ministry Transformation Lab is customized following an in-depth conversation with you about your faith community’s needs and assets. We’ll create a multi-tiered, customized proposal specifically designed for your community. Costs vary based on the proposal.
The Ministry Transformation Lab emphasizes process over product. Our consultants won’t tell you what to do or just write a lengthy report. Instead, we’ll teach you a framework your faith community can learn and replicate again and again in your ministry. This is also a team-oriented, guided, theologically-rooted experience, meaning you as a senior leader aren’t walking this path alone.
No, the Ministry Transformation Lab is designed to be highly contextual. Faith communities across denominations and traditions benefit from the Theological Innovation Process.
No, our process can be used in any faith community setting, including faith-based nonprofits, community ministry organizations, higher education institutions, and judicatories. We can create an experience customized to your context’s needs.
