More people are spending more time online and seeking purpose than ever before. We believe that we can leverage technology to engage people with the truth of God's love during this digital age.

Anyone can join Indigitous #HACK. God gave us each unique gifts and talents as part of His body. From liberal arts creatives to CS code monkeys, we invite you to join and bring #HACK to life.
Collaborative
We partner with Christian organizations around Texas to find challenges and ideas we can bring to life through #HACK. Contact us if you would like to partner with us for a #HACK 2020 challenge.
