Lay movement
(noun)
When everyday Christians, not just the clergy, use their gifts for the Church and the people it serves.
Not a new idea. A lawyer started Habitat for Humanity. Two salesmen started the Gideons. A filmmaker made The Chosen.
We're not replacing the Church. We're building next to it.
My pastor said something in a sermon that I've never forgotten: as Christians, it isn't enough to tell a friend in need "good luck, I'll pray for you." We're meant to actually help.
As a new Christian, I kept hearing testimonies of what Jesus Christ had done in people's lives, and I wanted more of them. But most are told once, inside church walls or private conversations, and lost. Scripture is clear that they should be told: "Let the redeemed of the Lord tell their story" (Psalm 107:2). So the first thing I built was a library of hope: ChristianityStories.
Building it made one thing clear: this is bigger than one person. If you've been looking for somewhere to put your skills to work for the Church, I'd like to meet you.
What we've built (still in beta)
Free for any church or Christian who wants it.
ChristianityStories.com
An anonymous, searchable library of real testimonies: how Jesus Christ met people in grief, addiction, healing, and ordinary life. Any church can add it to its own site in one click.
AskChristianity.com
The fifty questions people have before they walk into a church, and the ones new Christians still have after. The same ground Alpha covers, online and open all year.
FaithDesk
Biblical wisdom for real workplace situations. A coworker took credit for your work? Describe it, and you get what Scripture says, what to do next, and a prayer.
Social media channels
Evangelistic pages on the platforms where people already spend their time, helping make more disciples by inviting people to a local church.
Why this, why now
Very few people build for the Church.
The best designers, developers and marketers work at startups and brands. That's why the typical church website looks twenty years old. A secular company has a content team, a product team and a growth team. A church has a pastor, some volunteers, and Sunday.
That's where we come in.
Who this is for
Christians who build the tools, and Christians who fund them.

- Developers
- Marketers
- Writers
- Video editors

We work pro bono, and donations keep the tools online and free. We serve our Lord and Savior together and look after each other while we do it, with prayer, introductions, and support where we can.
