OUR MISSION

Build Kingdom Ecosystems wherever we go.
Our mission is to design and implement comprehensive plans in cities around the world that foster benevolent businesses, create fair and safe housing opportunities, empower the poor, and bring renewed life to local communities.

OUR PRACTICE

We’re Practitioners First!

We can’t lead others where we’re not willing to go ourselves.

Over more than a decade of seeking and often stumbling toward Jesus and His Kingdom, we’ve looked back and recognized a kind of Kingdom ecosystem forming around us. It’s made up of spaces for art and music, good works, hospitality, and community building.

Every ecosystem will look different, but here’s a small example of ours, rooted in Downtown Peoria, AZ. We believe that under the guidance of shepherds, entrepreneurs, and artists, each of these spaces contributes to what we call “The Banquet Table.”

You might have to get scrappy and creative—but every neighborhood holds potential.

Here is a look at our table…

OUR FRIENDS

BRAVE CITIES, led by our friends and partners Hugh Halter and Taylor McCall, serves as a prime example of what we mean when we talk about building “Kingdom Ecosystems” in every neighborhood.

Hugh and Taylor are pioneering practitioners in their city of Alton, and their book Brave Cities outlines the essential principles for developing these Kingdom-centered communities. We deeply believe they are trailblazers at the forefront of what God is doing through His future Church and we proudly consider them mentors.

If you spend any time with us, you’ll likely hear us ask if you’ve read Brave Cities. If not, we’ll make sure you get a copy, as it’s a key foundation for partnership with us.

Check out the video below for a conversation between Banquet’s Lance Linderman and Brave Cities’ Hugh Halter.
