Uncharted expands
The Stewart family in their new home state of Colorado.
After seven amazing years of living in Evansville, IN, the Stewart family has moved to Denver, CO! Ben (Uncharted’s President) and Kathy (Relational Curator) Stewart, along with the Uncharted board and leadership team, have discerned that this is the best move for their family and the organization.
Uncharted is expanding. We will maintain our office in Evansville (did you know we rent out our building space in Evansville to three other faith-based non-profits?) and expand a second working-hub in Denver. As our network of Church Partners continues to spread across the US, it’s important to have a Midwest/East-coast presence and a Mountain/West-coast presence. In addition, the Stewarts proximity to the Denver International Airport will make international travel easier and cost-effective. All of this allows us to increase our intentionality on the importance of relationship—being more present with both our Field Partners internationally and Church Partners domestically.
The Staff is decentralized. Our staff has officially shifted to a decentralized working model, though we’ve actually been doing this for several months already! We have staff in Indiana, Illinois, and Colorado, and don’t want geographical location to be a constraint for future hires. This allows us to decrease costs, hire top-notch people without requiring them to relocate, and remain nimble as an organization. Our biggest challenge is fostering the healthy staff culture we’ve worked hard to build over the last few years. But the team is stepping up to the challenge and finding creative ways to stay connected, deepen relationships, and remain focused on the mission to which we are aligned.
All of this represents a significant shift for Uncharted. More than a new chapter, it feels like the start of the next book in a series: same story, but a significant new part of the tale. The board and leadership team are excited about where God is taking Uncharted and what this move represents. We are humbled by the growth we’ve seen over the past few years, and we thank you for playing such a significant role in helping us get to where we are today. But we believe there’s more to come! Driven by our vision to help people do brave things to advance God’s Kingdom, we long to work together to reach the unreached and activate God’s people into His mission.
We are grateful for you. Let’s continue to Go Boldly together.
