The Called to Lives of Meaning and Purpose Initiative, launched in 2018, is generously funded by Lilly Endowment, Inc. The Initiative funds 13 innovation hubs from across North America, along with the Collegeville Institute, which serves as its coordinator. The coordination effort helps these hubs work with congregations in launching ministries that help Christians discover and claim how God is calling them to lead lives of meaning and purpose.
