Ignite the entrepreneurs in your pews & your city
20% of your congregation is entrepreneurially minded. Less than 1% are being discipled in their work.
Your city is formed every day in offices, startups, warehouses, and boardrooms, often without the church present.
When elders, deacons, pastors, and entrepreneurs lead together, the church steps back into the decisions shaping its city.

Hosting is how it sticks
Why Now?
Pastors are discipling people.
Too often, they’re missing one another.
Entrepreneurs carry pressure few people see.
Pastors hold responsibility few people understand.
Both are called. Both are tired. Both are essential.
And yet, in many churches, builders feel unseen, and pastors feel unequipped.
This conference will help repair a fracture that should never have existed.
Why This
Partnership Matters
70% of people believe pastors and entrepreneurs working together can solve the world’s biggest problems.
Small businesses are trusted:
- 9× more than politicians
- 2× more than churches
Entrepreneurs sit in your pews.
And they’re influential voices in spaces ministry often struggles to reach.
If the Church isn’t shaping those who shape our cities, who is?
What to Expect
Is this the moment everything changes?
Two focused hours featuring trusted pastors and seasoned founders who know what they’re talking about. Because they’ve lived it—sometimes the hard way.
Forget the hype.
Free of vague language.
No shallow commentary.
This is where the church and the marketplace learn how to move together. And they discover the power of depending on one another along the way.
Together, Not Separately
Church Leaders
- You want to disciple entrepreneurs, not just pray for them
- You know the marketplace matters, but lack a clear path forward
- You’re weary of a Sunday faith that doesn’t reach Monday decisions
Entrepreneurs
- You’re building something meaningful, but feel spiritually unsupported
- You want your work to matter beyond profit
- You’re done compartmentalizing faith and leadership
Invite Your Friends to Get Involved
Walk Away Ready
After this experience:
- Pastors will see entrepreneurs as essential partners
- Entrepreneurs will understand their work as calling
- Churches will have a clear first step toward engaging builders locally
This event marks the beginning, not the end. And conversations long avoided will finally take shape.

This Is Overdue
Cities are inspired by sermons. They’re shaped by businesses, systems, and leadership decisions.
If the Church doesn’t disciple the builders, someone else will. Entrepreneurs are ready. Be there for them

What is a Watch Party?
For the Pastors and Entrepreneurs Conference, we know many elder boards, staff teams, or entrepreneurs and their church leaders might want to stream together. If that’s you, grab a conference room with a TV and sign up to host a watch party. Essentially, instead of streaming from your laptop, you’ll stream in a room with others and have the chance to process through discussion questions throughout.
How will I watch the conference?
Leading up to the conference, we’ll send you a link to view the conference via an online video player.
How can I get in contact with the host for the Watch Party I registered for?
Great question! E-mail us at conference@faithdrivenentrepreneur.org and we’ll help you get connected!
Can I change Watch Party locations after I’ve registered for one location?
Yes – e-mail us at conference@faithdrivenentrepreneur.org and we’ll help you swap!
