The local church is at the center of decision-making, resourcing, and quality assessment in Bible translation programs, with leadership and involvement at every stage, including authentication. Tools and processes are designed to support each phase of the CBBT cycle: Capacity Building, Community Engagement and Conversational Drafting, Review by the Quality Assurance Community, Regional Church Leader Authentication, and Iterative Publication and Revision.

These materials support Church-Based Bible Translation through comprehensive training that uses a multimodal, oral-first approach. Tailored for adult learners, they introduce CBBT principles to church leaders and Bible agency personnel, ensuring the translation process remains locally led and accessible to all.

Development of a six-step exegetical process to help oral communities engage with Scripture. FIA supports Bible translation by helping people familiarize with, internalize, and articulate passages in their own language. Simple and repeatable, it enables churches to own the translation and evangelism process from the very beginning.

Creation of open-source, open-access tools for oral, video, and text-based Bible translation. Designed for culturally appropriate devices, the tools prioritize local ownership, ease of use, and flexible, church-led workflows. Features include transcription, AI-assisted editing, and integration with resources like FIA.

This initiative supports the development of regional networks that strengthen Church-Based Bible Translation (CBBT). These networks foster collaboration, leadership development, and shared learning among practitioners. Current efforts include piloting Scripture Quality Networks and building capacity for FIA translation.
