Hatchathon 2022 Coming Soon!
|
Are you nursing an entrepreneurial idea for ministry, but don’t know how to get it started (much less fund it)? Is your church ready to move a social enterprise idea down the field that funds other aspects of ministry? Could you use the wisdom of others to test-drive an idea for missional entrepreneurship?
Hatchathon 2022 takes place on September 22-24 in Huntersville.
