The world is rapidly changing, and the church must continue to innovate to reach new groups of people with the gospel. Our driving motivation at Next Ventures is to foster innovation by discovering, equipping, and then accelerating the vital work of pioneering leaders shaping the future of the church.
We also believe there is a growing group of people who share our passion to see the church of North America thrive well into the future. We call them Venture Partners…
Venture Partners are an exclusive group of ministry leaders committed to stewarding their resources by making a kingdom investment in the future of the church. In exchange for their financial investment, Venture Partners receive a front-row seat to innovative projects that are changing paradigms, developing new models of ministry, and carving new pathways into the future.
These projects are practical, actionable approaches that historians will one day conclude were critical to the success of the church in North America. Here’s a summary of how it works…
The process begins by discovering a strong group of Venture Partners passionate about the future of the church in North America and willing to make a kingdom investment. These partners invest in a Venture Fund, allowing us to provide small “encouragement” capital grants to stimulate innovative projects nationwide.
The next step is to identify and select pioneering leaders whose innovative work will likely shape elements of the future church in North America. These ministry leaders, along with our Venture Partners, are then invited to a Shark Tank experience to learn more about these innovative ministries, champion their next steps, and accelerate their impact. We then continue to foster learning through our Innovation Labs, an online Zoom community to cross-pollinate ideas between Venture Partners and project leaders.
Finally, we hope to provide national visibility by aggregating and publishing learnings from each project in major media outlets, as well as podcasting and digital resourcing for the broader church.
Choose from 3 levels of partnership to multiply your impact, insights, and strategic connections.
