Innovative Projects and Leaders

NEXT Ventures identifies innovative projects across North America and then provides them with small encourage capital grants from a growing list of venture partners. These projects are practical, actionable approaches to ministry that historians will one day conclude were critical to the success of the future church. We’re not looking for academic solutions. Instead, we seek to identify and equip, innovative leaders who are in the trenches making a difference!

Over the past four years, NEXT Ventures has invested nearly $750,000 in 50+ innovative ministry projects and 15+ networks. We have hosted six Shark Tank events, with more to come. Finally, in 2025, we plan to invite our entire portfolio of ministries along with our Venture Partners for the first-ever Church Innovation Trade Show, a premier gathering for innovation and the future of the church.
