We are still in the early stages of development in this project. However, we have a path that we have charted that should allow us to do a public launch by the spring of 2021. There are many moving parts, many of which we have little or no control but the outline below will provide an overview of our roadmap to the launch.

Current Phase

We are currently seeking partnerships with content creators. We are having conversations with well-established content creators, as well as, identifying up and coming creators. Our goal is to secure several key content creators who will bring their experience into the collaborative process. This will ensure that the experience is meaningful and beneficial to all who join the community.

Technology Development

We have secured a technology that will form the framework of our market. It is a technology that functions Etsy. Content creators are provided with a virtual shop. The technology will support, e-commerce, shipping of physical goods, as well as, digital downloads. We will include multi-language support of navigation and system functions.

Community Gathering

In the fall of 2020, we intend to host a collaborative gathering of seasoned content creators and those interested in serving the church through content creation. The gathering will include some terrific speakers and workshops that will cover writing, marketing, e-commerce, customer service, and the use of the marketplace technology.

Soft Launch

Our goal is to have a soft launch to test the systems and build a small user base in the new year of 2021. The soft launch will allow the content creators to experience the system in a controlled environment. The soft launch will be by invitation only.

Hard Launch

By God's grace, we will have a public launch of the new system in the spring of 2021. With the hard launch completed, the marketplace team will focus on adding free core content and building both a user base and a base of content creators.
