#HACK is a hands-on event empowering tech professionals to tackle real-world challenges affecting both the church and society. Individuals from tech and related fields collaborate on solutions for local churches, ministries, and missionaries. Teams form, share ideas, and innovate together in a high-energy sprint to solve specific problems. Participants build connections, learn from each other, and create meaningful impact—all through a focused hackathon that drives change for the Kingdom.
Team up with software engineers, UX/UI designers, product managers, data analysts, researchers, marketers, and tech professionals of all levels. Whether you're a college student, early-career professional, or industry veteran, you're invited to join #HACK. Bring your passion for technology and contribute to projects that advance the gospel and tackle real-world challenges.

We will gather at Grace Covenant's Grace 360 Building F, Room 102, November 2nd to open #HACK. Teams will collaborate on their own schedules over the course of the week. On Saturday November 9th, we will gather again in the same building to present final products and discuss next steps.
#HACK welcomes anyone who wants to collaborate on mission-focused, technology projects with long-term impact. While our work focuses on multiple technology platforms, you don’t have to be a programmer to get involved. We need designers, photographers, writers, project managers, social media gurus – creative thinkers of all types! The most important skill is the ability to work as a team and find ways to problem-solve. Also, while Indigitous #HACK is explicitly Christian, participants from any (or no) faith background are welcomed warmly.
No, beyond preparing the appropriate material/resources for those who want to work on your project or challenge. Registrants after October 7th will pay a fee when they register.
Those that require a technical, digital, UX/UI, data analysis, or communications solution that doesn’t currently exist.
There is no hard requirement. Usually, participants will spend between 10-30 hours, but it's dependent on your schedule.
Our hope is that participants learn more about local organizations that resonate with them and create opportunities for future collaboration. We also hope that like-minded tech professionals will create community. Consider joining the Discord here.
