Exponential NEXT is a critical part of our Exponential mission for church multiplication. It is the pioneering arm of Exponential that explores innovative models, methods, and approaches for church planting and multiplication. Our Exponential community benefits from our work at Exponential NEXT through the learning from NEXT Research projects, and NEXT Ventures – our Kingdom venture platform for finding and supporting innovative projects on the future of the church. Also, we share with you important insights from practitioners on critical future shaping topics including AI and the church, women in ministry, generation next, innovation, and more. Be sure to checkout our weekly articles and the new Exponential NEXT Podcast for your weekly dose of learning on the future of the church.
And in ministry, there are no guarantees.
The change won’t stop. It will only accelerate. And through it all, faithful leaders will keep asking: What does Jesus want? How can we follow him today? And what will make the biggest impact in the future?
Spoiler alert—we don’t have the answers. But we believe leaders like you do.
That’s why we exist.

In the early stages of my ministry, it was Leadership Network that saw potential and believed in me. Without their partnership, I would never have gotten out of the starting blocks. I am ever grateful for their investment and love.
