Many blessings in the New Year!

Significant Matters: What we do.

Significant Matters helps churches re-think the way they do missions. Through our Workshops, Peer Learning Accelerators and SATtalks we connect your church to a network of peers, partners and resources committed to advancing missions beyond simple charity and short-term fixes.

Our purpose is to help churches reframe their missions work around sustainable solutions and create room for business-minded people who can help that happen.
