What we can be best in the world at

Activating Our Church's Talent

We have a unique ability to gather skilled people from our congregation to build and grow small businesses. Because we share the same faith and values, we operate with a level of trust and careful stewardship that the secular business world simply cannot match.

What drives our economic engine
The Main Goal: Time Well Spent

We measure success by how much ministry funding we generate for every hour our team works. If a project takes 100 hours but only makes £10, it's not a good use of our people's time.

Our Financial Safety Rules
  • Quick Returns: Earn back test costs in < 6 months.
  • Good Profit: Keep ≥ 35p profit for every £1 made.
  • Emergency Fund: Always keep 6 months cash.
What we are deeply passionate about

Business as a Blessing

We believe that business isn't just about making money—it's a way to serve our city, provide good jobs, and create a reliable, long-term stream of income that pays for the church's ministry work without relying solely on Sunday tithes.
