About
Custom Tab
The iSSACHAR Center, founded in 1999 through Mile High Ministries, is a leadership community forming urban Christian leaders in Denver and beyond.
Leading in the city can be lonely work. Pastors, nonprofit directors, educators, and entrepreneurs carry the weight of their neighborhoods, often with few people beside them to share the load. Our theme this year, NOT ALONE, comes from Paul’s charge to the church in Galatia:
“Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.” Galatians 6:2 (NKJV)
At iSSACHAR, no leader journeys alone:
- Two by two. Leaders who found each other here now carry each other’s work, across sectors, cultures, and generations.
- Around the table. Common Tables and Third Thursday tables become friendships, and Called to Govern cohorts keep showing up for one another long after the last session.
- As one community. This year, 297 leaders took part in iSSACHAR courses, gatherings, and cohorts. It’s a community so you know you’re not alone, with content that activates and leaders that elevate.
Our 5 Marks shape every leader we walk with: ROOTED in Christ, PROFESSIONAL in Calling, RELENTLESS in Justice and Reconciliation, HEALTHY in Relationships, and COLLECTIVE in Approach.
This Colorado Gives Day, will you stand with them as a Friend of iSSACHAR? Friends are monthly and annual partners making a steady kingdom investment in leaders shaping churches, companies, and communities across our city.
This Colorado Gives Day, will you stand with them as a Friend of iSSACHAR? Friends are monthly and annual partners making a steady kingdom investment in leaders shaping churches, companies, and communities across our city. Our prayer is to welcome 15 new monthly Friends by December 31 and to gather more partners who will journey with these leaders for the long haul.
- $25/month or $300/year: Equip a Leader
- $50/month or $600/year: Sponsor a Third Thursday
Every friendship starts somewhere. If a different amount fits your season, choose Other and we will welcome you the same way.
Our prayer is to welcome 15 new monthly Friends by December 31st and to gather more partners who will journey with these leaders for the long haul. Every monthly gift means a leader has a table to come to, a cohort that shows up, and a community that carries the weight with them.
Giving Activity
Mission
The iSSACHAR Center prepares culturally diverse followers of Jesus for lifelong leadership in urban communities. We use cohorts, courses, and events to equip and convene leaders, forming a life giving network for personal/professional growth and public impact.
Background Statement
This past year, 297 leaders took part in iSSACHAR courses, gatherings, and cohorts. More than 170 leaders gathered around Common Tables and Third Thursdays, and 239 leaders have now completed Called to Govern. These urban Christian leaders serve in churches, companies, schools, nonprofits, and public offices across Denver and beyond. Our work results in healthier leaders and families, stronger organizations, and a more just society.
iSSACHAR connects leaders with God, with one another, and with catalytic content. Our community launches collaborative initiatives, opens doors to new roles, offers strategic counsel, provides mental and emotional support, and trains best practices that form empathic, audacious leaders for public impact.
Leaders in our city were never meant to carry the call by themselves. For more than 25 years, the iSSACHAR Center has been the community they turn to so they can lead sacrificially and never lead alone.
