Abstract

One way to approach Transforming is as partnerships in entrepreneurship that allow the church to train and develop disciples in their work. Collaborations between churches, seminaries, businesses and philanthropic organizations can create incubators for entrepreneurs to create jobs and provide services to the community. This chapter is a case study that analyzes a course created in partnerships that focused on developing urban and suburban entrepreneurs in the church and community. Over a period of three years, the course yielded 40 businesses. This case study demonstrates that entrepreneurship training opens the way to partnerships forming between the church and community. People are willing to take the risk to start a business when given the opportunity and support. Partnerships become essential to launch and sustain successful entrepreneurship incubators.
