Our History

Thrive and Grow started through a class at Gordon Conwell’s Center for Urban Ministerial Education.  The class, taught by Bishop Larry Ward and Dr. David Gill, was designed to provide emerging entrepreneurs with the basics of how to run a successful business.  After several years, over 40 businesses were successfully launched, with support from the class and the Kern Family Foundation. 

Although the class is no longer offered, graduates continued meeting and the group evolved into a network of over 150 participants today.
