Sprints

Discover what God has planted in you.

A Glass Canvas Sprint is a dedicated time of prayerful, strategic collaboration where your team listens deeply, to each other, and to the Holy Spirit. In just a few days, your organization gains clarity of identity, vision, and direction. It’s not a workshop. It’s not a retreat. It’s a Spirit-led process of discernment and renewal, tailored to unlock the full potential of your mission. 

Whether you're leading a diocese, ministry, apostolate, parish, school, or network, Sprints are designed to meet you where you are. Many of our partners are diocesan leaders seeking unity across departments and parishes, or ministry founders looking to clarify their identity and mission, but at the heart of it, a Sprint is for any Spirit-filled organization longing for clarity and alignment in pursuit of God’s call.

What you gain.

Discernment around your unique identity and calling.

Freedom for founders and leaders to share responsibility.

Alignment across leadership and staff.

A structure that supports long-term faithfulness to mission.

A clear framework to guide every decision.

An experience of healing, rest, and renewal for your team.

Confidence that your direction is spirit-led.

Greater trust, unity, and joy within your ministry.

“We’ve been operating with a spinning compass and now I see north. It's a true north and I don’t have to worry anymore. My compass works. What you haven’t articulated is that sprints are healing… It's like organizational therapy."

Co-Founder of Life Restoration

A spirit-led approach

We don’t impose strategies, we discern alongside you. Every Sprint is rooted in listening: to you, your team, your history, and to the movement of the Holy Spirit. Then we bring together decades of experience, best practices, and a deep love for the Church to help you articulate what’s been there all along.

“You have a unique gift of the Holy Spirit to help other spiritual organizations discern what the Lord has for them.”

"When we first approached Glass Canvas, we had the same apprehensions many Christian organizations have in working with any external organization: Will they truly understand our Christian identity and respect the role of the Holy Spirit in guiding us? Will they recognize our institution’s distinct mission and charism? Will they be able to help us to serve our unique and dynamic community?

In Glass Canvas, we found a depth of experience and insight guided by a commitment to discerning the movement of the Holy Spirit. They were not merely a marketing and communications agency with a Christian veneer, but instead were professionals who shared the same Christian vision of the world that guides our university.

On a deeper level, Glass Canvas helped us to understand our own calling. They did not merely act as external consultations speaking to us about theory, but instead used their professional expertise to walk with us through the discernment process, “speaking the unspoken” and insisting that we did the same. We did not approach Glass Canvas unaware of who we were or who we served, but we left with a clearer articulation of what God is calling our institution to do and how he is inviting us to serve."

"I don't know how many core value exercises I've been through [like this]... You don't make up values. You discover them and they're part of who you are and they're part of the organization's history and how it is that you've operated and function. They're already there....Discerning what it is that God has uniquely and specifically called and anointed you to do is kinda like scales falling off my eyes when it comes to understanding how to get at the values."
