Future Church Company - Will Mancini

The Future Church Company launched in 2020 with the objective of equipping churches to better understand how they can build churches that are more effective in making disciples.

The philosophy and tools that form the foundation of the Future Church Company come from Will's book Future Church: Seven Laws of Real Church Growth, which will be released in late 2020.

In reality, the Future Church Company is an umbrella for several organizations that work together to empower individuals, churches, and networks to make meaningful progress.

YOUNIQUE: LIVE BY DESIGN

God has a dream for each follower of Jesus. Many people speed through life and miss the power of a vivid understanding of God’s special calling. Younique is the only gospel-centered life plan experience that’s simple enough for every follower of Jesus and yet powerful enough to change the way people live every day. Through our process, people intentionally craft their future story to realize God’s dream.

PIVVOT: DISCIPLE BY DESIGN

God has a dream for every local church. Many leaders settle for a church built around a weekend service, bi-weekly small groups, and once-a-month serving opportunities. But that’s not true disciple-making. Pivvot guides local church leaders through a paradigm shift where they rewrite their future story to build processes that intentionally multiply disciples, not just attenders.

DENOMINEE: NETWORK BY DESIGN

God has a dream for each denomination and network. Many network leaders have seen the churches they serve find value and best practices from outside resources, resulting in a network that seems increasingly irrelevant. Denominee guides denominational leaders through a process to identify key areas where they can bring amplified value and develop a future story based on a Next Step Operating System to deliver that increased value.

About Will

Would you like to fall in love with ministry again?

I want you and your ministry to experience the benefits of stunning, God-given clarity. As a pastor turned vision coach, I’ve worked with an unprecedented variety of churches from growing mega-churches and missional communities, to mainline revitalization and church plants. I started several interconnected organizations that help the church embody the movement that Jesus founded. My visionary planning tools, the Vision Frame and the Horizon Storyline are used by thousands of churches every year through my calling to raise up other consultants and trainers. In 2004, I founded Auxano, which I sold to LifeWay and continued to lead until 2020. In 2014, I created Younique to deliver gospel-centered life design through the church. It is now the world's only comprehensive, open-source life plan system.

In 2023, I founded Run Free as my official team-based consulting shop. We deliver the most innovative Vision Framing experiences available to church teams through the "Pivvot Process" and to network/denominational leaders through the "Denominee Process." We also offer team coaching to church leaders using the "Performance Practices" of meta-performance executive coaching.

I've written seven books: Future Church, Church Unique, Younique, Clarity Spiral, God Dreams, Innovating Discipleship, and Building Leaders. I enjoy speaking about clarity, calling, disciple-making, and vision. It's all about helping one another do more than we can imagine. I co-locate in Houston and Chile with my wife, Romy, and the last of my four children, Poema.
