Big Idea and Overview

The heart of Digital Church Network is to do something different. We’re empowering a different type of planter to start different types of churches in different spaces, reaching a different type of person. Primarily a bi-vocational movement, we provide Community, Care, and Coaching for leaders who sense the vision of Jesus to seek and save the lost in Digital and Metaverse Spaces. We began early 2022, launching our digital community in February, which is now over 500 members strong! We just launched our Digital Church Planter training called Launchpad. In addition, we launched 12 church networks involving 70+ pastors and planters as we introduced NewThing’s Movement System into DCN. Coming in the near future is a digital accelerator for existing digital ministries to up their ministry game, trainings on multiplying digital/metaverse missionaries, even soulcare & mental health in the metaverse as well as an expansion of church planting networks within the Metaverse. We plan on seeing over 1,000 people join our community by the end of the year.

Customer / Mission Field Context
