Faith Promise Church
Knoxville, Tennessee
Disrupt the drudge between Wednesdays and breathe new life into your creative, discipleship, leader and parent processes.
Free yourself to do what you do best- be with students!

What is the Lab?
We just uncovered information about a secret experiment that looks to turn every student pastor’s way of life and how they do ministry upside down, forever.
Combining the most unstable parts of student sourced creativity with the most stable building blocks of engaging students, raising up leaders, and involving parents – this outrageous creation cannot be contained by a limited budget, full calendar or inbox of emails.
Help us break this experiment out of its high-security lab and set it free on your students, families, and church this Fall by planning it’s escape together with us and student pastors, coaches, and leaders!
