Faith Driven Entrepreneur Church Network Gathering
The Church. Entrepreneurs. A Wave of Momentum.
Wednesday, May 7, 2026 | 10:00 AM Eastern | Zoom
The world is waking up to the influence of entrepreneurs.
In a recent study with Barna, we discovered that 7 out of 10 Americans said that when entrepreneurs and the Church come together, they can solve some of the world’s greatest problems. Other research shows that people trust entrepreneurs at nearly twice the level they trust the Church.
So what could this mean for your church?
Within your congregation are men and women who already carry cultural influence, resources, and networks of relationships. When discipled and released well, they can become some of the most effective partners in engaging your community, strengthening your church, and extending your Kingdom influence beyond your walls.
Over the past year, 135 churches stepped forward to become the Church for entrepreneurs in their city. In just the first three months of 2026, over 200 more churches have begun piloting this work.
This is a movement building like a wave.
We’re gathering the churches already doing this work to share what we’re learning, hear what’s happening across the network, and map out what’s possible next.
It’s a shared conversation and we’d love for you to be part of it.
Will you join us?
