Design Thinking is a learned process that helps us make the change we are called to make but can’t figure out how to start
I (Chris Aho) believe God is always calling the church to what’s next, and that need has hardly been more urgent than it is now. The patterns, practices, and pathways the traditional church relied on for decades have gone away, so it’s time to explore anew. Engaging in Design Thinking practices will help us see each other, define the problems we are called to work on, and iterate our way toward meaningful impact.
Coaching
Do you need a new way to approach problems, your work, or your team?
Let’s work together!
Workshops
Do you need an event, workshop,
or weekend retreat to imagine something new?
We can do that!
Consulting
Are you in a season of significant change or uncertainty?
We have tools to explore what is so we can imagine what’s possible!
Bespoke Projects
From evaluating property to assessing ministry partners and community needs, if you have a hunch about something, let’s connect to see if our approach can support your call/
Hi! I’m Chris
Almost a decade ago I discovered Design Thinking while pastoring a congregation and working on my Doctoral Thesis at Duke. In some ways, Design Thinking gave names to what I already was looking doing. In all the rest of the ways, the Human Centered Design Thinking Process helped me get creative, unstuck, and design ways to embody the Traditioned Innovation the congregation I served, really needed. But that was just the beginning…
So, this is where a testimonial would go…but for now, here’s a picture from a Design Thinking Workshop I ran for the leaders at Aiken’s First Baptist Church in March 2025.
