Impact Areas > Multi-Sector Collaboration

A theme verse for our vision of Multi-Sector Collaboration is Jeremiah 29:7, "Seek the peace and prosperity of the city to which I have carried you into exile.  Pray to the LORD for it, because if it prospers, you too will prosper".  We believe that if churches and Christians would seek the prosperity of our city, then as a result, the Kingdom of God will prosper as individuals, families, businesses, schools, and our entire city experience transformation.

A church planter was recently asked, what was his vision and purpose for ministry.  His answer was, “Our church is going to be about the "redemption of nouns (i.e. persons, places, and things)".  That’s the vision of Unite!, and in order for that to occur, it’s going to take partnerships and collaboration between churches, businesses, governments, schools, non-profits, etc.

Our dream and vision is to be initiators, in our communities and city, for partnerships between the three primary sectors of society: Public sector (i.e. goods and services provided by the government), Private sector (i.e. "for profit" businesses), and Social sector (i.e. non-profit organizations).

Within each of these 3 sectors, there exist (what we refer to as) 8 primary "Channels of Cultural Influence", of which most every citizen finds their interest or employment.  The channels include: Arts & Entertainment, Business, Education, Government, Healthcare, Legal / Judicial, Media, and Non-Profits.   You may notice that Church is not listed as one of the channels, and that’s because Christians (i.e. The Church) exist throughout every channel.

The BIG vision of Unite! is to connect, equip, and envision Christians towards having a Kingdom perspective for their particular channel, and a desire for their channel to reflect the character of God and of His Kingdom.  For more information, contact Chip Sweney via e-mail or phone (678-405-2256).
