Our Vision · Gather Grow Go

One body.
Many gifts.
Good work, together.

A Christian marketplace and community network that helps the local body of Christ discover, support, and work with one another.

Neighbors and local business owners connecting at a welcoming restaurant patio mixer
Many gifts. Shared purpose. Good work, together.
Unity is the foundation

Different congregations.
A shared commitment to Christ.

Business owners, tradespeople, professionals, and nonprofit leaders bring different gifts to the same local body. G3 makes those gifts easier to find and creates room for relationships across church boundaries.

“You are the body of Christ and parts of each other.”

1 Corinthians 12:27 · CEB

In practice: A bookkeeper, carpenter, and nonprofit leader from different congregations bring complementary skills to a local project. Each contribution matters.

What is a Christian economy?

It is a voluntary network of everyday relationships shaped by honesty, stewardship, fair dealing, and generosity. It grows through responsible referrals, useful work, healthy enterprises, and support for meaningful missions.

Shared faith calls us to serve well. It does not replace qualifications, clear pricing, or accountability. Stronger Christian businesses and nonprofits can serve neighbors of every background.

Gather people.

Make introductions across congregations. Meet the people behind the business.

Grow relationships.

Exchange knowledge, share referrals, and strengthen one another’s work.

Go serve.

Choose a local provider, support a mission, and meet a practical need.

Rooted in a church. Connected to the wider body.

Church marketplaces.
A wider circle of possibility.

A church marketplace offers a familiar starting point for discovering the skills within a congregation. The wider G3 vision connects those communities across churches and neighborhoods.

The proposed shared-network model gives each organization one profile, a clear church connection, and a choice about wider visibility. Shared church data and cross-site publication remain planned capabilities.

Care that reaches beyond Sunday.

“In the same way, faith is dead when it doesn’t result in faithful activity.”

James 2:17 · CEB

In practice: Meet an urgent need for food or clothing, then offer appropriate mentoring, employment connections, or help testing a small business. Longer-term support complements immediate care.

Our proposed Neighborhood Enterprise initiative brings practical business help to people living near a church, including unchurched neighbors. Spiritual conversations and invitations remain voluntary. Christian marketplace membership and open neighborhood assistance are distinct pathways.

Why it matters now

Build community beyond the building.

America’s religious landscape has changed. Christian identification has declined over the long term, while recent trends show periods of stability. We use “post-Christian” to describe a cultural setting where shared biblical convictions cannot be assumed, rather than a claim that Christians are no longer a majority.

Attendance growth and reaching people new to church are different measures. Our vision encourages cooperation and neighborhood relationships alongside fellowship within congregations.

Research and qualifications are detailed in the white paper, including Pew Research Center, Hartford Institute findings, and Lifeway Research reporting.

What is Gather Grow Go?

A local discovery and community network for Christian businesses and nonprofits. Find organizations that share your values, gather with the people behind them, and build relationships through collaboration and service.

Who is a Circle for?

Circles are for Christian business owners, nonprofit leaders, and professionals who want to build community, exchange referrals, share expertise, and collaborate around shared values.

Connect+Go provides the service connection pathway: customers can get its app and post requests, and service businesses can apply to join its network. Applications, service activity, and partner terms are handled there.

Can I join an active Circle here today?

Are the directory profiles real?

Profiles you submit are saved to your account and become publicly searchable after review. Approval does not verify membership or professional credentials.

Make room at the table

A useful gathering starts small.

Invite a few Christian business owners, nonprofit leaders, and professionals. Choose a welcoming public venue or an online meeting, and make the purpose clear.

01

Introduce the people.

Share your name, your work, and the people you serve. Give everyone room to participate.

Talk about a real need.

Exchange practical ideas, discuss a business challenge, or learn about a local nonprofit mission.

Neighborhood Enterprise · Proposed initiative

Bring your skills.
Help a neighbor move forward.

A church’s marketplace can become a starting point for practical neighborhood care. We are exploring business mentoring, useful support, and a self-employment incubator for people living nearby, including neighbors outside church life.

Help a business thrive.

Offer practical support with pricing, recordkeeping, customer communication, or a simple website. Begin by listening to the owner’s goals.

Share what you know.

Connect experienced owners and professionals with people who need a useful next step. Refer specialist questions to qualified advisers.

Test a new livelihood.

A proposed small-cohort incubator helps participants test demand, learn business basics, and launch carefully. Employment or further training may be a better fit.

Practical care. Genuine relationships.

Immediate needs deserve a direct response. Mentoring supports longer-term stability. Assistance welcomes neighbors without requiring a profession of faith; Christian directory membership retains its separate faith commitments.

Program status: This initiative is being developed. Enrollment, funding, and guaranteed business outcomes are not being offered.

Read the vision and white paper ↗
Unity expressed through everyday work

Different congregations.
A shared commitment to Christ.

We welcome Christian businesses and nonprofits from across the local body of Christ. Circles create room to know one another, support one another’s work, and serve the wider community together.

Relationships cross boundaries.

Learn from believers in other industries and congregations. Make introductions generously and honor the gifts each person brings.

Before you go

How the partnership works.

Does adding my business enroll me in Connect+Go?

No. Your Gather Grow Go profile and Connect+Go membership are separate. Apply through Connect+Go to join its network. The optional membership checkbox on your Gather Grow Go profile is a self-reported claim.

What does the profile badge mean?

A Connect+Go badge identifies a self-reported membership claim. It does not independently verify membership, licensing, or service quality.

Where do quotes, service arrangements, and transactions happen?

Continue to Connect+Go for the partner’s service workflow. Review the available features and confirm any quote, payment process, fees, and terms there. Gather Grow Go does not process payments or create service agreements.

Can a nonprofit be listed without joining the service network?

Yes. Christian businesses and nonprofits can have a Gather Grow Go profile, participate in community connections, and explore collaborations. Connect+Go is an optional next step for relevant service needs.

Privacy Notice

Effective October 29, 2026. Gather Grow Go is a Christian marketplace and community network operated by Mission City Digital. Contact: ross@missioncitydigital.com.

Gathering registrations

When you RSVP, we store your name, account email, party size, registration status, and timestamps. These details are available only to you, the gathering’s owner, and G3 administrators for event coordination. Attendee lists are not public. You can update or cancel through My Account; cancelled registrations remain in the private event history. Contact us to request removal of registration information.

Information we collect

When you register or sign in, Supabase processes your email address and password for authentication. We use your verified account ID and email to associate submissions with your account and restrict administrative access. Passwords are not stored in our listing database. Existing ChatGPT sign-in is retained for linking earlier records and access continuity.

We store the organization, gathering, and Circle details you submit, including public contact information, descriptions, images, membership claims, and review status. Messages and reports include your name, reply email, message, account ID, and a reference number. An activity log records submissions, edits, moderation, claims, and administrator backup actions.

Public and private information

Approved listing information is public and may be copied or indexed. Do not submit home addresses or other information you do not want published. Pending and returned listings are visible to their owner and administrators. Inquiry content, reports, account identifiers, and private backups are not included in the public directory.

Why we use information

We use information to operate the directory, review content, manage accounts and ownership claims, respond to messages and reports, deter misuse, and recover records. We do not sell inquiry content or use it for automated marketing. Administrators read private messages in the inbox. New listing submissions can also generate an administrator review email containing the listing name, location, and record reference. We retain the applicant’s account email and faith affirmations privately with the application and use that address for submission confirmations and approval notices.

Services and storage

The site uses ChatGPT Sites hosting, Supabase email authentication, NevTan for account emails, and Cloudflare-backed application storage. Those providers may process technical information under their own terms. Connect+Go is a separate service: opening its links takes you to its platform and policies. We do not automatically enroll you there or transmit your submission to its database.

Your choices and retention

You can edit or archive your records through My Records. Archived records are retained for administrator restoration; archiving is not erasure. Contact us to request access, correction, or deletion of account-associated records or private inquiries. We assess requests before deletion to protect others’ information and ownership rights. Private downloaded backups may retain earlier data until the operator replaces or deletes them. No automatic retention schedule is enabled yet.

Browser storage and security

Earlier editing keys and personal collaboration drafts may remain in your browser storage until cleared. Signing in does not publish them. We restrict writes to signed-in users, apply ownership and administrator checks, review listings, and limit submissions. No website can promise absolute security. Do not include payment details, passwords, or sensitive personal information in inquiries.

A clear shared commitment

Terms of Use

Effective October 29, 2026. These terms describe use of Gather Grow Go, a Mission City Digital project. Contact ross@missioncitydigital.com with questions.

Purpose and participation

Gather Grow Go helps people discover Christian businesses and nonprofits, gather locally, and build professional relationships. Browsing approved records is public. Submitting or managing records requires a verified Gather Grow Go account. Represent your organization honestly and only submit information and images you have permission to use and publish.

Content and review

New listings and edits require administrator approval. We may return, decline, or archive content that is inaccurate, duplicative, misleading, abusive, unlawful, unrelated to the community, or reported for a legitimate concern. Approval is a content and community-fit review; it is not an endorsement or verification of licensing, insurance, qualifications, membership, or service quality.

Permission to display your submission

You retain ownership of your content. By submitting, you authorize us to store, review, display, and format it to operate and maintain Gather Grow Go. You can request corrections or archive your record. See the Privacy Notice for retained records and backups.

Accounts and appropriate use

Use your own account and keep access secure. Do not impersonate organizations, publish another person’s private information, upload harmful content, send spam, automate abusive submissions, or attempt to bypass access controls. Earlier editing keys can be used to claim an unowned earlier record only if you are its authorized representative.

Business arrangements and gatherings

Customers and providers are responsible for their own quotes, contracts, licensing checks, payments, and disputes. Confirm event dates, venues, accessibility, attendance requirements, and safety arrangements with the host. Gather Grow Go does not process payments or issue service guarantees. Gathering RSVPs record attendance intentions; confirm arrangements directly with the host.

Connect+Go

Connect+Go is a separate partner platform with its own application process, features, fees, and terms. Gather Grow Go registration does not enroll you there. Membership badges here are self-reported and must not be treated as verified credentials.

Changes, availability, and concerns

Features may change, and access may occasionally be interrupted. Contact us or use “Report a concern” on a listing to raise inaccurate content, misuse, or ownership disputes. We review concerns before acting and may ask for supporting information. Continued use after an updated notice means using the site under the published terms; material changes to submission requirements will be presented in the submission flow.
