Incubator Collective

The Incubator Collective is a training program designed for full-time and co/ bi-vocational church planters/replanters living and serving in Miami/South Florida.

What is the Incubator Collective? 

The Incubator Collective combines elements of City to City's renowned urban church planting training plan with the ideas and experiences of majority and minority culture churches that understand the various nuances of ministry in both affluent and underserved communities in Miami and South Florida. The result is a two-year program that provides practical tools to start and develop a gospel-centered, Spirit-empowered, and properly contextualized and community-rooted congregation.

Pillars

Our approach to training is based on the following:

  1. Gospel Fluency: A growing understanding of how the Gospel of Jesus Christ and His kingdom influences and changes everything about who we are and what we do individually, communally, and systemically.

  2. Contextualization: A growing understanding of how to live embodied in a local context and learn to minister out of the beauty of your community as well as its brokenness.

  3. Church Planting and Replanting: A growing understanding of the particular capabilities and skills required for urban church planting in 21st-century global cities.

  4. Empowerment Ethics: A growing understanding of how the cultural and theological resources of previously marginalized communities contribute to the global church.

  5. Kingdom Centered Prayer: A growing understanding of our total dependence on God and the filling of the Holy Spirit, both for our lives and ministries and for the spiritual battle in its various urban manifestations.
