We need YOU!
Pattern needs volunteers, and we believe many have been wondering how the Lord may use their tech and media skills for Kingdom purposes.
God provided financially for us to quickly build the platform using a wonderful development company. However, to keep costs low and to increase the impact, going forward we need people who can give their time and skills.
Volunteer projects may involve any of the following:
- One day projects (1-5 hours)
- An individual project to work on over a few evenings or a weekend (5-10 total hours)
- A short-term team project to work on over a month with others (5-10 total hours per person)
- Long-term team team project over a period of several months (10-40 total hours per person)
We are certain we’ll have projects that meet whatever volunteer time you have to give!

App Store “Heroes” (No tech skill needed!)
Each of our apps needs its own unique Apple Developer account due to restrictions Apple has. We need App Store Heroes who will set up a developer account to host an app.
You don’t have to be super techie to be an App Store Hero. In fact, it’s a great missions project for a parent/kid to do together! Learn more here.
