Missional AI
Summit 2027
What began as a conference became a movement. We're just getting started.
Advancing Redemptive Technology for Human Flourishing and the Mission of God
Technology is reshaping culture, power, trust, and even our understanding of what it means to be human. It is not neutral—it always moves us somewhere. The question is where. Advancing Redemptive Technology is our commitment to guide innovation toward human flourishing rather than fragmentation. Grounded in the Imago Dei, we believe tools should amplify dignity, strengthen communities, and accelerate the mission of God in the world. This is not about fear or hype. It is about stewardship. It is about courageous builders, thoughtful leaders, and faithful technologists shaping systems that reflect justice, mercy, creativity, and hope in an age of machines.
Whether you write code, lead a congregation, build a company, or steward a ministry, the decisions you make about technology matter more than you know. This is a space for all who believe that innovation, guided by wisdom and grounded in faith, can be one of the most powerful forces for good in our generation.
Who is Missional AI for?
Ministry & Organizational Leaders
Pastors, denominational staff, and nonprofit executives deciding how AI shows up in worship, discipleship, and operations. See real case studies from ministries already doing it — and take home a roadmap your organization can actually run.
Technology Builders
Engineers, founders, and product leaders — including believers inside the frontier labs — living out their faith in the work of their hands. Wrestle honestly with what to build (and what not to), grounded in theology, alongside peers who ship.
Marketplace & Creative Christians
Leaders in business, finance, education, media, and the arts navigating what AI means for daily work and witness. If you believe innovation guided by wisdom can be a force for good in your field, you belong in this room.
