The Innovation Laboratory helps shape the future of Christian ministry by partnering with individuals and faith communities to develop innovations that are responsive to people’s needs and assets, theologically informed, and transformative within a ministry’s context. The Lab accomplishes this mission by guiding individual leaders and faith communities as they attend to their unique organizational culture to foster innovative potential and walk through the Theological Innovation Process by which innovations are ideated, tested, and launched. The Lab was launched in 2018 when the Center for Youth Ministry Training (CYMT) received a $1.1 MM grant from Lilly Endowment, Inc. Since 2018, the Lab has walked with hundreds of adults and teenagers across the country to develop innovative ministries so more people experience the love and grace of Jesus Christ. In 2021, the Lab received a second, $1.19 MM grant from Lilly Endowment, Inc.

The CYMT accomplishes this mission through three primary initiatives: the Graduate Residency in Youth Ministry, in partnership with Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary; Theology Together; and the Innovation Laboratory. CYMT was created in 2006.
