WHERE WE STARTED

After 20 years of working in international missions, John and Trudy Cathy White recognized an increasing need for equipping young adults in the area of Christ-centered leadership.

In 2003 John White and Trudy Cathy White launched Lifeshape with a vision to help a new generation of young women and men understand, explain and live out their faith while cultivating an authentic and personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

CHRISTIANS INFLUENCING CULTURE

Today, that vision is being realized through the creation of Impact 360 Institute – an organization that is passionate about equipping young adults to influence culture for Christ.

Together with some of today’s leading Christian thinkers in the areas of biblical worldview, theology, apologetics, philosophy, leadership, culture and education, Impact 360 Institute is excited to be a part of God’s mission to influence hearts, homes, communities and countries around the world with the truth of the Christianity.

KNOW. BE. LIVE.

All programming at Impact 360 Institute stems from the belief that all Christians should know what they believe and why; they should strive to be who God created them to be; and then live out that calling by serving others.

At Impact 360 Institute, Know. Be. Live. is more than a catchy headline or hoped-for philosophy; it is a way of life.

EQUIPPING CHRIST-CENTERED INFLUENCERS
