Kingdom Code | BUILD 2025

10–11 October 2025

Bookings closed

Kingdom Code BUILD is our annual hackathon in partnership with FaithTech, and Indigitous #Hack, bringing together Christians who work in the world of tech from across Europe.

Join Christian technologists from across the UK and beyond to share ideas and kick start projects that integrate our Christian faith and technical skill sets.

Whether you’re a developer, designer, project manager, branding/marketing expert, ideator or something else entirely, enjoy taking a weekend to meet and work with others in the Kingdom Code community who share your desire to see God glorified through technology.

Location

Nearest station: Old Street / Hoxton

It's utter chaos and the most fun I have each year.

BUILD is a great place to meet new people, learn, use skills you have with a range of other people!

Build is a place to work on real world problems that need creative and innovative solutions in tech or design for churches and charities

It's an awesome weekend for discussing tech with like-minded faith filled individuals. A wonderful chance to chat and work with wonderful people on impactful technology.

A really encouraging time with some great technologists who love Jesus, geeking out on some projects for the Kingdom

An opportunity of fellowship with Christians in technology spaces to ideate and think BIG about how we can honour the Lord Jesus with our gifts and passion for tech and creativity

Excellent way to meet and collaborate with Christians in tech, working (worshiping) together.

Fantastic opportunity for kingdom-minded technical experts to put their skills to good use to build God's kingdom

A wonderful 24 hours where tech people who love God come together to build some amazing stuff

Build is a great place to come and use your knowledge, skill or passion in tech to help some great causes and meet new people

Projects

Each year individuals come together around projects to form teams. These might be a missionally minded passion project, a R&D project from a ministry, or an investigation into the potential of a new tech or tool…

In 2017 we explored how Christians Against Poverty might use VR… In 2022 we trialed virtual sponsored marathons for Compassion. We've optimised AWS setups for ministries, designed supporter websites, analysed data…
