Empowering Mission-Driven Communities to Thrive

We help build communities devoted to love, care, and human flourishing — offering faithful support so leaders can pursue their calling.

 

Our Mission and Vision

We believe that leaders devoted to human flourishing — those building hope, care, and transformation in their communities — are among the most burdened and least resourced.

We exist to expand a leader’s capacity and confidence so their impact is not limited by process, systems, or exhaustion. Using intelligent digital workers powered by the wisdom from our shared creation, we remove daily operational burdens and open new pathways for collaboration, creativity, and sustainable mission.

EmbarkNow is a non-profit that offers Mission-Driven Intelligence — a shared wisdom network powered by purpose, and shaped by the experience of faith communities and mission-driven organizations.

It is not about replacing human care with technology, but about bearing the burdens that pull leaders away from their calling. Here, intelligence grows through community participation so every partner benefits.

We believe that renewal begins with deep listening and intentional planning and reimagining what is possible—not only within their faith community but across their neighborhood communities.

We guide churches through the sacred work of discernment, helping them uncover new ways to use their gifts, properties, and callings for impactful, sustainable ministry.

Facilitate Reflective Transformation
We offer structured processes that invite prayerful reflection, storytelling, and bold imagining to shape a vibrant vision for ministry.

Catalyze Community-Centered Innovation
By supporting adaptive uses of underutilized church property, we open pathways for ministries that meet real needs in relevant, creative, and lasting ways.

Empower Purpose-Driven Planning
Through surveys, research, and guided exercises, we help churches understand their community context and align it with their deepest values.

“Discernment is not just about deciding what to do—it’s about discovering who you’re becoming.”

Igniting Faithful Transformation

A Network of Shared Wisdom and Shared Hope

For too long, faith communities and mission-driven organizations have tended to their work in isolation — learning through trial, repeating effort that others have already mastered, and experiencing loneliness in leadership.

Every community seeks to heal, welcome, and serve. Yet the stewards of that work are often stretched thin, burdened by tasks that pull them from their calling.

EmbarkNow is born out of the conviction that the ministry of presence — the labor of love — deserves support that is faithful, wise, and compassionate. We exist to ease the load of administration and logistics so that leaders can devote themselves to ministry, not merely management.

We do this not simply with tools, but with companions in ministry — helpers that honor your context, respect your calling, and contribute to shared wisdom across communities of faith.

Helpers That Walk With You

Imagine companions who:

  • Learn how your community lives and works,

  • Take up burdens that keep you from your calling,

  • Support your leaders with care that honors your mission,

  • Grow wiser as they serve.

As more communities join, the body of shared wisdom deepens — like a communion of grace, where the gifts of one become blessings for all.

This is how faith communities move from surviving to flourishing — by walking together in shared knowledge, mutual support, and common hope.

From Isolation to Communion

So often, communities of faith labor alone — repeating struggles, reinventing solutions, feeling distant from neighboring congregations.

God calls us into communion, not isolation.

EmbarkNow honors that calling by fostering a shared foundation of understanding and insight — not one that erases local identity, but one that enriches every context with collective experience.

This shared wisdom:

  • Surfaces tried and true practices,

  • Helps communities discern faithful paths forward,

  • Reduces needless struggle,

  • Encourages mutual encouragement and collaboration.

Here, what you learn becomes a gift to others; what others share becomes a gift to you.
