New Ministry Incubation
Do you have an idea for a new ministry? Would you like to redevelop an existing ministry to make it more sustainable and missional?
Partner with the Kaleidoscope Institute to incubate this new idea for ministry and make it a reality.
When we say incubate, we mean that we will offer the processes, framework and tools to develop new or existing ideas for programs and ministries into a living and breathing practice!
We will use the Holy Currencies/Cycle of Blessing model to engage church members and your community to build relationships, discern the truth and develop leadership and financial resources. A KI Associate will coach your church team throughout this process to create a fully developed ministry plan to launch the incubated ministry.
What participants have said about Holy Currencies Incubation
-
![Workbench with several tools]()
"It's a set of tools...
…and a process for starting and sustaining ministry in the community in a way that builds involvement and leverages assets so that gifts recirculate and benefit people and the communities where they live.”

“It is a system of creating dialogue...
… and recognition of the different “currencies” that each person or organization has that can be shared and tapped for enterprise towards the good of all. This helped remind me of communication techniques (invitation, non-judgment, listening presence) that can make such a big difference in day to day experience”

You learn the power of using more than money
“A comprehensive workshop where you will learn the power of using more than the holy currency of money to create community and begin to leverage those assets within the church community.”

Results that can be sustained
“It is a way of visualizing, speaking about and acting upon the wealth of gifts and capacities with which God has blessed us and one of the exciting things about this is discovering that they are present and available to us all the time. Holy Currencies training helps people to recognize the wealth of currencies and provides practical frameworks in support of using them to produce concrete, life-giving results that can be sustained & expanded over time.”
Our Typical Process
-
We recommend a committed group of 6-8 people who will guide this process and get your community involved.
We encourage you to join forces with other congregations and organizations in your community to walk in this process with you.
-
We will gather for a two-day retreat to introduce the Holy Currencies concepts, build your team, and make initial plans.
-
Your group will meet on a regular basis to work through each of the Currencies. You will discover the strengths and opportunities for your community as these currencies flow together. KI will be right beside you coaching you through each step.
-
All along the way you will be implementing your learnings and developing your plans. At the end of this process, you will have a comprehensive ministry plan to share with funders, inspire your future growth, and help keep you committed to this new ministry.
