NXT Move exists to accelerate Christianity in the next generation — by catalyzing, collaborating with, and championing the leaders God is already raising up across 11 regions and 50+ nations.

Mission
01
Catalyze
Create environments where ideas, relationships, and opportunities accelerate leaders.
02
Collaborate
Align efforts across the global Church to multiply what God is doing.
03
Champion
Elevate voices, strengthen influence, and ensure leaders have the support to lead well.
A story before the strategy
The future is being shaped today.
When leaders are strengthened through meaningful relationships, collaboration, and support,
the ripple effects reach far beyond a single ministry or organization.
Stronger leaders mean stronger churches, stronger communities,
and a stronger future for the next generation.
Helping leaders move from
Isolation→Impact
Across the world, leaders serving the next generation often face significant barriers
that limit their ability to flourish and lead effectively. NXT Move helps leaders
overcome those barriers — so their impact can multiply.
IsolationRelationship
A leader who once felt alone discovers a global community.
Many leaders carry the responsibility of serving the next generation alone. NXT Move connects them with trusted peers and mentors who provide encouragement, wisdom, and soul care for the journey.
DuplicationMultiplication
Scattered effort becomes collaborative movement.
Too often organizations work toward the same goals without meaningful collaboration. NXT Move brings leaders together around shared challenges so they can align their efforts and multiply their impact.
DisempowermentImpact
Leaders who once felt limited begin to see their impact grow.
Many leaders lack access to the resources, insight, and support needed to expand their influence. NXT Move helps them gain the relationships, knowledge, and opportunities that allow them to lead with greater confidence and effectiveness.
WHAT DOES SUCCESS LOOK LIKE?
Three questions to measure impact:
01
Does the next generation follow Jesus?
02
Does the next generation participate in His mission?
03
Does the next generation's world look different because of Him?
So how do we know it’s working? Here is exactly what we measure — and what we don’t.
This is NXT Move.

Zoom in · Dallas–Fort Worth
One city is alreadyliving the modelthe whole world iswatching.
If 11 regions describe the breadth of NXT Move, Dallas–Fort Worth describes the depth. It is the most operationally mature Catalytic Communities deployment anywhere in the network — the place where the global blueprint becomes a working reality.
The local stakes
75%
of young people in DFW feel church teachings are outdated or irrelevant.
50%
reported feeling the church is inauthentic, contributing to their decision to leave.
70%
of those who left the church still see themselves as Christians — disengaged from institutions, not from faith.
NXT Move | Arbor Research Project in DFW
Four pillars · One working model
01
Catalytic Communities
Cohorts of pastors, marketplace leaders, and next-gen ministers collaborating, sharing insight, and growing together — the same model NXT Move is exporting to Nairobi, São Paulo, and Perth.
02
Collective Research
A research partnership with Dallas Theological Seminary developing a longitudinal study of Christian practices and faith maturity in the next generation. Findings shape strategy here — and inform every other region.
03
Collaborative Gatherings
The DFW Next-Gen Leaders Forum equips local leaders with tools, language, and relational depth — and convenes the influencers shaping faith for an entire metroplex.
04
Church Engagement
United influencers across DFW championing a shared vision for the next generation — across denominations, ethnicities, and ministry contexts, in one of America's most strategically diverse cities.
DFW→11 regions
What is proven here is replicable everywhere. The DFW Model City is not the destination of NXT Move — it is the working prototype that proves the global thesis can land in a single city, in a single block, with a single trained leader, and reshape the trajectory of a generation.
A gift to NXT Move from DFW does two things at once: it deepens the work happening in your own backyard, and it underwrites the model the rest of the world is watching.
This work is made possible by partners who believe the next generation is worth our best collaboration.
How we know it's working
We don't claim our partners' numbers.
The young people discipled in Nairobi, the church planters trained in South Asia, the youth reached through underground networks in Central Asia — that fruit belongs to the leaders doing the direct work. To report it as ours would misrepresent what you actually fund. So here is what we do measure.
Think of it this way
Fund a surgeon's training, research, and professional community, and the lives saved in the operating room belong to the surgeon. What you funded was the conditions that made the surgeon more capable.
That is our role — and it is a genuinely different kind of measurable result.
What we measure
01
Our Direct Outputs
What we do — and can count.
Leaders connected, gathered, and placed in ongoing community across 11 regions
Organizations brought into the Next Gen Global Collab
Collaborations initiated at our tables that would not have happened otherwise
Duplication eliminated — leaders aligned around shared goals instead of running parallel programs
02
Conditions Created
What changes because we set the table.
Leaders who report reduced isolation, greater resourcing, and stronger peer accountability
Soul Care engagements, Listening Labs, training events, and regional gatherings — moments we own
New partnerships between organizations that existed only because NXT Move brought them together
03
The Research Dashboard
How we will prove it — not assume it.
The NextGen Jesus-Following Index — a 7-year global initiative we steward — produces annual data on actual faith engagement among young people worldwide. This is how we prove that stronger leaders produce stronger outcomes.

Final 7-year report
Stanford's Collective Impact framework names five conditions for lasting change. Four already exist across our network. The fifth — shared measurement — is exactly what the Index is built to provide.
Without it, 30 organizations stay 30 isolated efforts. With it, they become a movement.
Inside the index
The Index measures three questions across ages 13–30 in 50+ countries — the same three questions we hold every gathering accountable to.
01
Do they follow Jesus?
Belief
God exists
Jesus is the Son of God
Forgiveness comes through Jesus
The Bible is God’s Word
Practice
Prays weekly
Reads Scripture weekly
02
Do they participate in His mission?
Gospel-advancing
Actively shares their faith
Christian community
Part of a church
Actively being discipled
03
Does their world look different because of Him?
Influence
Faith shapes family, school & work
Contributing to positive change in society
Taking action on a real need in the world
~50,000
respondents surveyed annually, comparing youth connected to ministry networks against a general public sample. That gap is the measure.

In their words
Some partners are moved by numbers; others by names. Behind the conditions we create are real leaders whose stories tell the same truth.
Gloria
Europe
Six years ago she walked into a Young Evangelists Academy as a teenager.
Today she leads the very program she came through — raising up hundreds of evangelists every year. Not addition. Multiplication.
Joe Gachira
Nairobi · Africa
For the first time in Kenya’s history, Presbyterian, Anglican, Pentecostal, and Evangelical bishops sit in the same room with next-gen and marketplace leaders.
United around a common mission for the next generation — movement-building at the level of a whole city.
Ruslan Zagidulin
Central Asia
When Ruslan lost his son, the NXT Move community grieved with him. Prayer came from across the world.
“It was like a family.” The relational infrastructure that keeps leaders going long after any gathering ends.
Jireh
Southeast Asia
A young student leader who connected with the NXT Move community and found support and belonging.
Now leading Youth Alive ministry and impacting hundreds of lives.
Both are essential — but they are not competing for the same role. An investment in NXT Move is a multiplier investment: the kind that compounds across an entire ecosystem rather than a single program.
“God does it. Our job is to create the conditions where He can.”
