The Ignite the Church Initiative

The Ignite the Church Initiative provides free discipleship and leadership resources so churches can build a culture of formation, engagement, and mission. Explore short videos, downloads, and recommended reads designed to awaken disciples and activate gifts in your context.

Every Disciple Awakened- Every Gift Activated

The Future is Waiting

One of the reasons I went to seminary was simple: I wanted to be a resource for the Body of Christ. At a recent Women in Ministry conference, I was introduced to a concept called “Future Back.” It’s a business idea, but it struck me as prophetic for the church. Future Back asks: “Where will your context be ten years from now?”
 

When I look ten years into the future of the church — through the lens of what is happening in our world and in the Body of Christ — I see a sobering truth: many believers will have lost connection. If we continue to rely solely on Sunday gatherings and programs, we risk building churches that are busy but not deeply connected, active but not truly discipling.
 

This is why the Ignite the Church Initiative is so important right now. Our mission is to:

  • Transform Leaders (20/80) – equipping pastors and ministry leaders to move beyond burnout, programs, and survival into clarity, courage, and lasting impact.

  • Design Systems – helping churches embrace integrity, systems thinking, and change management so discipleship is sustainable, not fragile.

  • Reignite Congregations – transforming congregations from functioning with only 20% of the people doing 80% of the work into fully engaged communities where every member takes part in deeper discipleship and shared ministry.

A Resource Hub for the Body of Christ

This will be the place where you can access e-books, training videos, and discipleship resources created to strengthen your leaders and equip your congregation.
 

Check back with us to access:
 

  • Kingdom Life — a new members guide for discipleship.

  • Foundations: Lessons in the 18 Articles of Faith — a full doctrinal discipleship curriculum.

  • Empowering Leadership — resources to help pastors and leaders guide with clarity, courage, and conviction.
     

All of these tools have one purpose: to prepare your congregation for the challenges of today, and for the realities of 2035 and beyond.
 

The Ignite the Church Initiative is about more than filling calendars — it’s about forming disciples who remain connected, faithful, and fruitful in a rapidly changing world.

Our Commitment

The goal of The Ignite the Church Initiative is to offer our services at a minimal cost, removing financial barriers so that every congregation can access the support they need.

This initiative is new, and in all transparency, we are praying about whether to establish it as a non-profit organization. Until God gives us clear direction, we will faithfully begin by helping pastors and congregations right where they are — providing resources, training, and discipleship pathways that ignite transformation.
 

We believe God is calling us to serve the Body of Christ with open heart and hands. Our prayer is that these resources will strengthen your church, your leaders, and your people for the days ahead.
