participate in a city lab
We are living in a unique time in our country’s history where there is much
division and in need of the hope of the gospel. It’s a great time for personal
development and to thoughtfully engage with the issues in front of us.
The City Lab is a ten week learning experience that equips you to become a more resilient disciple of Jesus in this cultural moment and aims to answer the following questions:
What is the story of God you are being invited into?
What is your story and how does that integrate into God's story?
How do you practice the Ways of Jesus in all of life?
How can you become an agent of gospel renewal in your spheres of influence?
Through self discovery, community and mentorship, you are invited to engage with
like-minded peers and learn together how to Live Into the Great Story.

If you are transitioning into the marketplace after involvement with a para-church organization (e.g. Cru, InterVarsity, Navigators, etc.), the city lab can help you translate your ministry experience into your new context.

“The city lab is focused discipleship with an eye for young professionals. The theologically rich discussions paired with practical action steps and experiments were important in bringing about the transformation I needed in order to become more engaged in my community and workplace for Christ. The life on life mentoring style moved me forward in my desire to become more involved in the great commission in my city.”
Josiah, Teacher (27) |

"This lab helped me draw similarities between what scripture has to say about God's mission and my day to day life. Things that are easily mistaken as insignificant have more meaning since God can work in even the most mundane tasks/areas of my day."
Ajia, Graphic Artist (29) |

"Through this experience, I’ve become more intentional about meeting others in my everyday circles, acknowledging them as being made in God’s
image, and seeing the beauty in people." Caleb, Missions Coach (27) |
