The Warehouse Wins 2nd Place for their Vision

Virtual Edition of West Ohio’s Greenhouse Shark Tank

September 2020

Brad Aycock Director of Greenhouse posted:

“I will follow you into the future if you paint for me a vivid picture of what’s around the corner.” Today ten leaders from across West Ohio shared their 60-second vision for their new ministry to 30 United Methodist leaders from across the state, including former Governor (and UM pastor) Ted Strickland and Bluffton University president Dr. Jane Wood in our Greenhouse Shark Tank. $10,000 was on the line to be awarded to the top three. Congrats to all of the Greenhouse leaders for the hard work they’ve put in over the past 6 months working on this vision to be launched next year. Mary Carmen Padilla and her vision for a multi-cultural church in Fremont took first, Sadell & Sherman B. Bradley and their multi-ethnic church with Hyde Park UMC in Cincy took 2nd, and Kabamba Kiboko and her vision for a new ministry to reach young kids via a school took third. THANK YOU to the 30 sharks from Gen-Z to Baby Boomers for investing in these emerging leaders and the future church. And THANK YOU to the United Methodist Foundation for the generous contribution to the first virtual edition of West Ohio’s Greenhouse Shark Tank. Also good to have Bill Poland from Iowa and Sam Hubbard from Louisiana with us as guest sharks.

“Sherman B. Bradley and I are grateful to be participants in the Greenhouse 2020 cohort and to have been awarded a $3k grant for The Warehouse Church OTR through their ‘Shark Tank’ pitch event yesterday. Glory to God!!”
