Create projects are where we put our faith into action. Volunteer teams build solutions to real problems, using the gifts God has given us, and become faithful builders in the process.
Every project moves through the Create Cycle; whether over a few days in a hackathon, or across Create8, our flagship eight-week journey. It’s the same cycle; only the pace changes.
What if the technology we build doesn’t just innovate, but redeem? What if our code, our designs, and our products didn’t just work well, but reflected the heart of God?
We believe there’s a way of building that changes the world redemptively and transforms the people who build. So we gather in community to build in the way of Jesus - in dependence on God, in teams together.
We build redemptive technology together using the Create Cycle, the methodology that grew out of our 4Ds from the FaithTech Playbook. It’s a cycle, not a checklist: a rhythm we return to again and again.
Each element of this cycle is accompanied with teaching and tools to help you utilise this uniquely biblical framework for building technology. To check it out, download a copy of the FaithTech Playbook by clicking below.
We patiently refuse to
rush past pain.
Listen | Remember | Repent | Rejoice
We seek God’s wisdom
before choosing a response.
Reject | Receive | Reimagine | Create
We faithfully build in dependence
on the Spirit.
Pray | Prototype | Pause
We take responsibility
for what we release.
Tend | Examine | Testify
Create happens across all of our FaithTech Cities. It's backed by the Pathfinder tool which will guide you through each step of the process through theological and practical teaching and guidance. Follow the steps below to get involved.

FaithTech Create runs in our local city-based communities. The best way to get involved is to find a meetup and learn about the opportunities to participate locally.
Our heart, at a city and global level, is to equip our Create teams to succeed. We offer an environment where teams can learn and grow together. Practically, the support resources we offer are:
There are two main models for Create projects that you can get involved in:
Short-form: these are hackathons, sprints, and other short-term events that happen in our cities periodically throughout the year.
Long-form: The full Create program is best practiced through our flagship 8-week expression, where teams gather weekly to learn how to build technology in a biblically based method and work through the Create Cycle in planned stages.
Absolutely, this program is for people across tech, ministry, business, and charity. If you’re passionate to help design solutions to real-world problems, there’s a place for you. Each team ideally has a mixture of skills to bring balance and momentum. This will often include a mix of developers, researchers, subject matter experts, a project manager, and a designer.
FaithTech Create happens primarily in our city-based communities, but our online communities will also periodically run the program as well.
In Create, individuals and organizations can bring problems or challenges to their local city as a potential Create project.
Ideas must be framed as a problem or challenge statement to be presented to the city for potential volunteers to consider forming a team around it. (e.g. There are unreached people groups in our city who face language barriers, cultural isolation, and deep loneliness. How might we use technology to identify, connect with, and share the hope of the Gospel with these communities?)
Teams must have the ability to follow the Create Cycle to discern the best solution to the problem. This happens through the Create Pathfinder.
