20% of churchgoers are
entrepreneurially minded—yet less than 1% are being discipled in their work.
This isn’t your typical pastors conference.
Twenty percent of your congregation is entrepreneurially minded—yet less than 1% are being discipled in their work. That’s one in five people who create jobs, solve problems, and influence their community in ways traditional ministry can’t always reach.
Without support from the Church, the pressure to perform causes spiritual drift. They pursue their calling while chasing money, power, and fame—faltering precisely when they need community most.
But here’s what matters: 70% of people believe pastors and entrepreneurs working together could solve the world’s biggest problems. Small businesses are trusted 9x more than politicians and 2x more than churches. Your entrepreneurs aren’t just in your pews—they’re influential voices in spaces where ministry struggles to go.
This conference is built for that partnership. Senior pastors, elders, and faith-at-work leaders will discover how to support entrepreneurs. Entrepreneurs attending alongside their church leaders will help shape what discipleship could look like.
You won’t hear empty motivational speeches. You’ll hear from pastors who’ve built thriving entrepreneur ministries and business leaders who’ve been through the fire—together.
