REACH INNOVATION SUMMIT — ORLANDO REQUEST ACCESS

VOL. 01

ORLANDO, FL

11 / 04 / 26

REACH
Innovation Summit.

Sixty leaders. Seven hours. One question: what does faithful innovation look like when the church actually needs it to work?

The most creative work happening in ministry is being carried by isolated people with no one to compare notes with. Frontier Commons built this Summit to change that — one curated room, one day.

00 / WHY NOW

The tools are
here. The church
needs them used
well.

THE PROBLEM

The most creative work happening in churches, ministries, and mission agencies is being carried by isolated leaders with no one to compare notes with. The wheel is being reinvented everywhere, and most of it won't survive the person who started it.

THE BET

Put the right sixty people in a room for seven focused hours — worship, honest stories, tools that actually work — and then keep them walking together for 90 days. What begins as a conversation in Orlando can become shared work that serves churches long after the day is over.

I / WHO THIS IS FOR

This room is
for people who
do things.

→ COME

  • —You believe the church has something the world genuinely needs right now
  • —You're building something real — a tool, a model, a ministry — and you want it to actually land
  • —You carry real responsibility: a budget, a team, a community counting on you to figure this out
  • —You're tired of conferences. You want a room where the work continues after the day ends
  • —You want peers who pray, push back, and build with you — not just business cards

→ GOOD TO KNOW

  • —60 seats. No general admission, no brand stands — just two working plenaries and real discussion
  • —Everyone in the room was put there by someone who vouched for them
  • —The posture is service — you'll be asked to give something, not just receive
  • —The best conversations will be around things that aren't finished yet
  • —Bring your real questions. Leave the polished deck at home
WHAT YOU LEAVE WITH

01

One thing you'll actually do.

Not a list of takeaways. One concrete commitment you can put into action this week.

02

Peers matched to what you're building.

Lunch is a pre-assigned table of 6, grouped by problem area — real conversation with people working on something adjacent.

IV / ACCESS

Invite only.

60 seats. Every person in the room was put there by someone who knows them and vouched for their presence. That's the filter. It's what makes the room worth being in.

IF YOU WERE INVITED

Check your email. A confirmation link from a convenor org is already on its way.

IF YOU WEREN'T

Ask someone from one of the convening orgs to put your name forward — or write to us directly and tell us why you belong in the room.
