It’s time for digital transformation

Intentional Churches is partnering with Intulse to create the IC Digital Collective, a strategic gathering designed to help you lead digital transformation—not as a tech upgrade, but as a leadership initiative that activates your Great Commission strategy.

Over the course of this cohort, you'll gain the tools and frameworks to:

  • Clarify your digital strategy inside the ChurchOS system
  • Align your tech stack to serve your Engagement Pathway
  • Equip your staff to move beyond “Digital Drift” into measurable ministry movement

This is NOT a hardware and software tutorial. It’s for senior leaders and trusted implementers who live at the intersection of ministry and technology—those uniquely positioned to build systems that serve the strategy.

Space is limited to ensure meaningful interaction, peer learning, and community formation.

Details:

  • Kickoff Retreat: 3-day, in-person launch in Sugar Land, TX (Houston area, October 28-30, 2025)
  • Monthly Cohort Calls: 2-hour digital sessions over 11 months (no meeting in Dec)
  • Commitment Required: This cohort only works if you work it. Full presence at the retreat and consistent engagement in monthly calls are essential. Your investment fuels your growth—and the group’s momentum.

Why It Matters

“Every tech gap is a missed opportunity to reach the ONE.”

Most churches are running digital systems that aren't serving the strategy—and most leaders don’t realize it until people start slipping through the cracks.

This cohort exists to change that.

When your digital layer is aligned to the Great Commission Engine™, engagement becomes intentional, data becomes trustworthy, and your team leads with clarity instead of confusion.

This isn’t about tools. It’s about trust, alignment, and movement.

You don’t need more tech. You need a strategy your systems can serve—and the confidence to lead your team through it.

Let’s build that together.

Meet Your Hosts

Christian and Mark aren’t just tech guys. They’re seasoned church leaders who’ve spent decades at the intersection of ministry, strategy, and digital systems — and they’ve both lived the chaos that happens when your tech stack outgrows your structure.

A church planter, executive, and product innovator, Mark founded one of the first ChMS platforms to focus on discipleship and an engagement process. Since 2014, he’s served as a strategic partner to Intentional Churches, helping align digital solutions with the ChurchOS framework. Today, he serves as CEO of Intulse, where he’s committed to resourcing the Church with technology that drives measurable, transformational ministry outcomes.

Intulse helped us forge a path forward

One of the biggest mistakes churches make with technology is spending good money on the wrong things. After years of poor IT investments, we discovered we could no longer leverage technology for ministry success like we wanted to. Intulse stepped in and allowed us to be better stewards of our budget and begin using technology as a core ministry tool once again.

What Does It Look Like When Technology Is Truly Aligned?

When a church uses technology well, it's not about chasing features — it’s about serving people and fueling the mission.

  • Mission and Vision define why we use technology. The ONE is always the focus.
  • Strategy determines what tech we implement. It’s mapped to the Great Commission Engine™.
  • Culture shapes how we execute—with clarity, consistency, and creativity.
  • People are invited, connected, and discipled through a clearly architected Engagement Pathway, supported by intentional digital touchpoints.
  • Generosity flows through frictionless systems, funding Kingdom work with confidence.
  • Worship becomes interactive, personal, and portable—wherever people are.
  • Facilities are secure, smart, and integrated into the broader ministry ecosystem.
  • IT Teams are recognized as critical ministry partners, not backstage support.
  • Budgets reflect the church’s current season and future potential—not just its past.

Ready to Lead Like That?

This cohort is more than a download of best practices—it’s a year-long journey alongside other Executive Pastors and digital implementers committed to leading differently.

You’ll walk away with practical tools, shared language, and a tribe of trusted XP peers to call when you hit unknown territory.
