Created in Christ.

Expressing God’s Glory.

Sent with Power to Serve.

Partnering with local anchor-churches, we help equip followers of Christ to understand new identity in Jesus, to be activated in their spiritual gifts and creative talents to express God’s Glory, and to call a generation to serve Christ’s Gospel mission in their church & city.

This year’s content theme is MASTERPIECE, a discipleship journey that explores how God forms people through the Gospel, shapes them by His Word, Spirit and Church, and fills them with His Spirit—so they might be sent as faithful witnesses in the world. Using the language and emphasis of art, process, and practice, this series helps followers of Christ understand their identity in Christ, recognize their Spirit-given gifts, and step into their commission to reflect God’s glory in everyday life.

SUPPORT

Future Training and mobilization dates in other cities

We have been — and will continue — resourcing this generation with God’s Word and preaching the Gospel. At the same time, we sense a deep need to train and equip this generation alongside local urban churches to be the salt and light of Christ — both within their church communities and from their church communities into the culture.

In 2026, we plan to have multiple Academy gatherings both in Chicago and in other cities — Detroit, New York City, Atlanta, and San Juan.

Interested in supporting these events in other cities to help mobilize a generation passionate about evangelism and making disciples?

Your support helps us host more gatherings that mobilize a generation committed to evangelism and disciple-making.
