DON'T KNOW THE EXACT STEPS TO LAUNCH YOUR IDEA?

Does this sound like you?
You feel overwhelmed - you have a vision, but lack the method to launch a new venture
You feel paralyzed - there is so much information. How do you know which method to follow?
You feel lonely - your current support network sees a faith-driven venture as "too risky"
You feel fearful - what if you fail?

We help Christian leaders just like you.

Let us show you how to launch.

IT’S TIME TO GO FROM IDEA TO LAUNCH &

PUT YOUR FAITH INTO ACTION

We know you have an idea that will actively meet a need in your community. To do that, you need to know how to build, fund, and launch a new venture.

The problem is you don’t have a concrete plan to make it happen, which makes you feel confused, lonely, and maybe even paralyzed about your next steps.

We believe it shouldn’t be so hard to start new ventures that help people who need it. Since 2015, we’ve empowered 2,500+ Christian leaders to unite their faith with entrepreneurship.

We’ve built the StartNew Training Program, based on our proven, signature process that integrates over 50 years of combined launch experience.

So, sign up today, and in the meantime take our quiz to see if you’re ready to StartNew.

Stop guessing at how to bring your idea to life and instead learn how to create a financially viable ministry, nonprofit, or business.

When we started our ministry, we were serving 200 people twice a month. Now we are reaching an average of 1,000 people each time we reach out. We have also partnered with other churches and agencies and have expanded to offering healthcare, free books, pregnancy tests, and other connections to the community.”

Our journey with StartNew has given us a sense of Kingdom perspective and everything that God has going on in the world around us. We are becoming a healthier congregation in the church and preschool because of our experience. Now, we can say: Journey Lutheran is a place for all people of all ages to follow Jesus, learn, and grow.”

I was able to build a team that had strong collaboration and focuses on what the community needs! Now we have developed a program that provides soft skills and workforce development training for sustainable and gainful employment, which leads to greater access to affordable childcare, and greater access to affordable homeownership.”
