For members with a product, a service, or an idea they want built
Submit an Innovation
An idea that stays an idea produces nothing. This programme exists to move innovations along the road from ideation to production: to find the ones the ministry can help build, and to build them.
You do not need a finished product. The form asks how far your prototype has come precisely because a sketch, a working sample and a manufactured item all need different help, and all three are worth submitting.
What the programme offers
From idea to prototype
Help turning a design into something that exists and can be shown, tested and improved.
Into production
Support making the transition from a single working sample to something produced at scale.
Community Innovation Hubs
Local centres for collaborative research and hands-on development, alongside others building their own work.
Made in Loveworld
A campaign that circulates what the network produces internally, and celebrates the excellence of our own.
Before you start
The form asks for all of this. Gathering it first is the difference between finishing in one sitting and abandoning the form half way.
- A short description of the innovation, and the problem it solves
- Who it is for: the market you have in mind
- How far the prototype has come, and roughly what it costs to build
- A photograph of a sample or a demonstration
- A short video of it working
- Your ministry or zone, and the name of your church
What happens after you apply
Every submission goes through an initial screening and evaluation.
Approval is not guaranteed. Screening is how the ministry decides which innovations it takes forward, and when.
You are contacted on the details you gave, so give ones you check.
