Tampa Underground
Tampa Underground is a pioneering network of over 100 microchurches in Tampa Bay, with sister movements around the world, that exists to equip everyday people to live on mission.

Through books, training materials, podcasts, coaching, and online content, Tampa Underground shares practical tools for launching new ministries, supporting grassroots leaders, and cultivating authentic missional communities. Their emphasis on empowering ordinary believers, rather than relying on buildings or budgets, makes their resources especially valuable for churches and ministries in other regions—providing models, inspiration, and step-by-step guidance for multiplying disciples and expressions of the church in your own context.

Front Yard Mission
Front Yard Mission is a movement that helps everyday followers of Jesus learn to love their neighbors in simple, practical, and intentional ways. Instead of seeing outreach as a program, Front Yard Mission equips people to turn their front yards, porches, and neighborhoods into spaces of connection, care, and spiritual conversation. They provide resources such as training, guides, stories, and coaching to encourage believers to take small steps toward building relationships with the people right outside their front doors. Their approach emphasizes hospitality, prayer, and presence—helping ordinary Christians cultivate missional lifestyles that bring the love of Jesus into the places they already live.
