You're invited

Join 115+ churches and ministries across Southwest Florida.

Over the past year, pastors and leaders from across Southwest Florida have been coming together to pray and dream about what it could look like to move forward in unity—seeking renewal in the Church and spiritual awakening across our region. What’s become clear is that God is already at work. There is a growing spiritual hunger in our communities, and a shared desire among churches and ministries to partner together for the sake of the Gospel. This is an opportunity we don’t want to miss.

With the support of the Palau team, local churches and ministries are leading a collaborative season of outreach that will unite us around a shared mission: to see every believer activated and every corner of our region reached with the Gospel. This is a movement that happens with, through, and for the local Church.

Implementing BLESS in your church

You don’t need another program. You need a simple way to help your people love their city the way Jesus did. BLESS is a movement that calls us to lean into timeless rhythms practiced by Jesus as a united church in SWFL. Here’s how we’ve seen leaders in churches effectively share the heart and vision of BLESS and activate their people to engage their neighbors.

Step 1

Leaders Portal

This is your one stop shop for curated resources, missional tools, and tracking your church's impact through the BLESS practices. 65+ years of missional insights in cities, gathered into one place for you.

Step 2

Develop A Strategy

Download the BLESS app as a staff and begin to practice BLESSing your neighbors and friends as a leadership team. By living out these principles, you’ll inspire those in your church to do the same.

Step 3

Cast the Vision

Add your unique QR code around your church and in your communications to help people download the app. The QR code automatically links your people to your church in the app.

Launch BLESS and share the vision from the front with a sermon series we created for you!
