Intrepid: Navigating the Intersection of Church Planting + Social Entrepreneurship

by Sean Benesh

The landscape of church planting is rapidly changing right before our eyes. In response to the fluidity of the culture that surrounds us, church planters are needing to think differently about how they should approach their calling. Rather than asking, "How do I plant a sustainable church?" many are beginning to ask instead, "How do I become sustainable as a church planter?"


Enter social entrepreneurship. Intrepid is about combining the twin forces of church planting and social entrepreneurship -where the gospel is proclaimed and lived out, where neighborhoods and communities find new hope for the future through job creation and economic development, and where church planters create avenues for long-term sustainability.

He read my mind

Planted 2 years ago and I still feel, this is something we have to start thinking about for the future of Christianity in the US.
