FROM CONCEPT TO REALITY
Healthy churches start with a clear vision. Pitch Lab is the defining moment for our church planting residents. It is an immersive, one-day experience designed to bridge the gap between preparation and execution. We believe that a vision isn’t fully formed until it can be communicated with clarity and conviction. Pitch Lab is designed to help our residents refine their voice so they can confidently recruit the financial supporters and team members needed to launch healthy, reproducing churches.
How the Pitch Lab Works
Pitch Lab is a unique, two-part dynamic experience focused on growth and refinement:
PART 1: LEARNING LABS
Practice, Feedback, & Growth. The morning is dedicated to “The Lab”—a helpful, collaborative environment designed for practice. In each lab session residents will pitch their vision in front of experienced church planting leaders and kingdom-minded investors.
This isn’t about high-pressure performance; it is about high-value preparation. These leaders and investors are there to offer constructive feedback, helping residents refine their pitches and ensuring they can communicate their vision in a clear and compelling way. It is a safe space for residents to sharpen their vision casting skills before they plant.
PART 2: SHOWCASE
Confidence in Action. In the afternoon, you will see the result of that refinement. The doors open to the wider audience as ten residents take the main stage. With renewed confidence, each planter has 8 minutes to cast a compelling vision for their community. This is your opportunity to hear the heartbeat of new church plants across North America.
