Ministry Incubators offers coaching for organizations and individuals launching missional enterprises, and training and education in missional innovation. We prioritize opportunities that are community-based and allow us to build relationships over time.
Our partners include individuals, congregations, judicatories, schools, and faith-based nonprofits. We always tailor our work to the needs of our clients, so if you wish to sponsor a program or discuss a coaching relationship, contact us.

Hatchathon
The Hatchathon gives space, time, and the right conditions to move your idea from concept to launch. This 2.5 day event is recommended for people who are still clarifying their idea for an impact enterprise, or who want to learn the basics for getting an entrepreneurial ministry off the ground. Participants will create prototypes of basic framing documents, develop an initial pitch deck, and practice communicating their ideas to others.

Our most visible events are our Hatch-a-thons, and while we can only schedule one or two a year, we’re tickled pink at what some of our “hatchletes” have accomplished in such a short time. For example, we’re proud to have been in the delivery room for ministries like:
- Abundant Grace Dinner Church
- Farminary
- Fishing for People with Fish
- Gastrochurch
- Mowtown
- The Brain Kitchen
- The Feed Truck
- Youth Ministry Innovators
…and more.
We’re just as proud to have had a small role in championing the success of other ongoing projects, such as:
- Barbatus Beard Balm
- Children and Worship
- Crosswinds
- Stolle Creative
- The Eco-Theo Review
- The Matthew Initiative
- Try Pie
- Youthworker Circuit
- Wings and a Prayer
… to name a few.
