What This Project Is About

The Gospel Collaboration Project is a yearlong learning journey.

Over the past decade, we’ve made mistakes, learned hard lessons, and seen God shape a growing collaborative culture here in Frankfurt. This project is our way of gathering those insights, adding new stories and interviews from leaders across Europe, and creating simple tools that help anyone take meaningful steps toward healthier citywide collaboration.
