What We Do
The Every Child Collective helps church leaders discern and implement next steps for how their church can care for vulnerable children in their unique context.
We help you move from conviction to clarity, so your church can build a plan that is practical, sustainable, and faithful to what God is calling you to do.
How We Do It
We primarily deliver this support through our ECC Lab cohort, followed by ongoing coaching.
Evaluate Your Community
We help you understand the needs in your community and identify where your church is uniquely positioned to respond.
Connect You to Other Churches
You’ll join a broader community of like-minded churches learning, sharing, and building together.
Help Resource Your Ministry
We help you identify the tools, relationships, and support needed to resource and fund your ministry.
Build a Plan Step by Step
We guide you through a clear process to design a plan that fits your people, capacity, and calling.
Offer Ongoing Support
You won’t be alone after the Lab. We stay connected as you take next steps and mobilize your church.
What are ECC Labs?
ECC Labs are a cohort-based experience where church leaders gather to discern how God is calling their church to respond as they care for vulnerable children.
Whether your church is just getting started or has been engaged for years, you’ll walk through a guided process of evaluation, dreaming, and building. The experience culminates in a 24-hour, in-person Lab designed to bring clarity and momentum.
After the Lab, we stay connected through quarterly coaching calls as you mobilize your people and take your next steps. Have more questions? Visit the FAQ section on our About page.
Upcoming Labs
We host upcoming Labs throughout the year, bringing a cohort of church leaders together for a practical, guided experience.

“The Every Child Collective team came alongside us when we were wrestling with how to better serve kids and families in our community who are hurting. They didn't just give us a framework — they sat with our staff, listened to our context, and helped us dream bigger while getting practical about next steps. The time we have spent together has clarified our vision and given us actual tools to move forward. We’re incredibly grateful for partners like this who are genuinely invested in helping vulnerable children thrive.”

You Don’t Have to Figure This Out Alone
