Strategic Renewal

What Strategic Renewal does

Strategic Renewal is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit Christian ministry headquartered at PO Box 370233, Denver, CO 80237, founded in 2000 by Daniel Henderson to equip pastors and churches with a prayer-centered approach to ministry. The organization operates a paired-program model: the 6:4 Fellowship serves senior pastors and church planters committed to prayer and ministry of the Word (Acts 6:4), while the 6:3 Discipleship program trains lay believers to actively support their pastors and build prayer culture in their churches (Acts 6:3). The ministry's proprietary "Scripture-fed, Spirit-led, Worship-based Prayer" methodology underpins all programs and is delivered through one-on-one and cohort-based Renewal Coaches, an annual Resilience Conference, regional prayer summits, women's prayer initiatives (6:3 Women), and a publishing arm (6:4PRESS). The operating surface consists of five sub-brands (The 6:4 Fellowship, 6:3 Discipleship, 6:3 Women, 6:4PRESS, Resilience Conference), three dedicated websites plus an e-commerce store, a content library of 1,200+ resources, weekly Monday Motivator email, and active social channels.

Revenue is generated through three streams: donations and recurring charitable partnerships (primary), conference and event registrations, and one-time resource store purchases (books, devotionals, prayer guides). The organization is led by President and founder Daniel Henderson, supported by a Chief Operating Officer (Brad Thompson, former Columbia Forest Products CEO) and approximately 14-15 staff, and governed by a Board of Directors chaired by Jim Maxim. Cumulative impact metrics reported include 751 church leaders coached, 5,368 6:4 Fellowship pastor members, 41,440 engaged pastors and disciples, and 569,250 souls discipled in prayer, with ministry reach spanning all 50 US states and 48 countries. The organization is privately held as a tax-exempt nonprofit with no parent company, no funding rounds, and no disclosed financial figures.

Broad incumbents

• Biblica: A Scripture-focused ministry producing Bible translations, resources, and church engagement programs. Broad incumbent — adjacent in the content-and-resource category that Strategic Renewal competes in through 6:4PRESS and the online store.
• InterVarsity Christian Fellowship: A large, established campus-focused ministry running extensive discipleship, training, and conference programs. Broad incumbent — comparable in that it runs faith-formation content, events, and a national donor base, though its primary audience is students rather than pastors.
• Cru (Campus Crusade for Christ): One of the largest US evangelical ministries with extensive content, conferences, and discipleship programs. Broad incumbent — comparable operating scale, multi-channel GTM, and donor base, though focused on evangelism and campus ministry rather than church renewal.
• The Navigators: A long-established discipleship ministry with a global footprint, content library, and conferences. Broad incumbent — similar theology-driven, content-rich, and conference-anchored operating model, though focused on one-to-one discipleship rather than church renewal.

Direct peers

• Walk Thru the Bible: A biblical education and formation ministry offering seminars, teaching, and training resources for pastors and church leaders. Peer — Strategic Renewal's 6:4PRESS Coordinator Len Crowley served as a National Instructor there, and both serve as content-and-training platforms for church leadership.
• Acts 4:13: A ministry mobilizing the church to pray for pastors, founded by Strategic Renewal Board Chairman Jim Maxim. Direct peer operating in the same niche of pastoral prayer support and church prayer culture-building.
• C12 Group: A peer advisory and leadership development ministry for Christian business leaders and pastors, founded by Strategic Renewal board member Greg King. Peer — both train Christian leaders in cohorts and integrate faith with marketplace leadership.

Regional players

• Harvest Bible Fellowship: A multi-site church and church-planting network with affiliated training and ministry resources. Regional player — Strategic Renewal Board member Bill Molinari previously served on its staff, and both operate as Midwest-anchored ministry ecosystems, though Harvest is itself a church rather than an external ministry serving churches.
