The Avanti Collective is an updated expression of Growth Dynamics International (GDI) - a non-profit organization that provided support, oversight, and relationship to the leaders of churches, businesses, and other networks founded and led by Doug Fike for over forty years.

OUR HISTORY

Through committed, authentic relationships and a deeply-rooted understanding of Kingdom principles and biblical wisdom, Doug and the GDI team helped their partner networks to deepen their own relationships. navigate challenges, and operate more effectively as teams and communities.

In 2022 Doug and the GDI oversight board sensed that God was ready to do something new, to expand on the heart of everything the GDI and learned, developed, and stewarded over the years by evolving into a wider community that anyone who wanted to find community and share the journey of discovering and living into their purpose could join and fully engage with anytime, anywhere.

The Avanti Collective is the expression of that goal.

We're a community rooted in our history, enriched by decades of deep relationships, equipped with time-tested wisdom and life-changing resources, and inspired by our vision to become a treasured home for everyone seeking to make the most of their life in the company of others to share that journey with.

For over forty years, we’ve been developing and refining resources, courses, workshops, and programs that offer tangible, grounded solutions to the challenges and opportunities of life.

From understanding your identity to pursuing your dreams and everything in between, our extensive resource library provides the postures, tools, and approaches you need to turn concepts into action.

Whether you’re navigating personal growth, growing in spiritual maturity, working on career development, or searching for more and deeper relationships, we're here to help you live life on purpose by empowering you to make meaningful progress in every area of your life.

  • "Life On Purpose" is all about living intentionally. Instead of just going through the motions or letting life happen to us, we focus on designing a life that aligns with our passions, values, and unique design. It means embracing growth, making choices that lead us toward meaningful goals, and building relationships that matter. At The Avanti Collective, we believe everyone can live with purpose—whatever that looks like for you.

  • The Avanti Collective has roots in Christian values, but we’re not strictly a faith-based organization. Our focus is on personal and community growth, and we welcome people from all backgrounds, beliefs, and walks of life who share our commitment to our core postures and values. Our programs and resources are rooted in and informed by Jesus' teachings about what a life well-lived truly looks like, and we believe that Jesus example, love, and guidance are universally able to affect lasting growth that leads to transformed relationships and the fulfilling pursuit of everything we were created to be. We celebrate diversity, welcome differences of perspective, and strive to help people live purposeful, intentional lives, no matter their spiritual, theological, or cultural background.

  • Go Brunch is a platform that combines social media vibes with a web conferencing tool, which makes it a great fit for our community. Think of it as a virtual space where we can all hang out, join group discussions, attend events, or just pop in for a chat. It’s easy to use and designed to make our online interactions feel more connected and engaging—kind of like walking into a cozy community space online.

  • You can totally engage at your own pace. We know life can get busy, so whether you want to pop in regularly or just when you have the time, that’s okay! The community is always here when you need it, and there’s no pressure to participate more than you’re comfortable with. Some people like to dive in headfirst, while others prefer to dip their toes in—both approaches are welcome here.

  • It’s not just about personal growth. We believe in a holistic approach to life, so we explore professional, relational, emotional, and even creative growth too. Whether you're looking to develop stronger connections with others, improve your work life, or discover your purpose in any area, you'll find resources, support, and people on similar journeys. Growth isn’t one-dimensional, and we’re here to embrace all aspects of it.

  • We get it—life changes! If you ever need to cancel or adjust your membership, it’s super easy. Just log into your account, and you’ll find options to manage your membership there. Whether you want to upgrade, downgrade, or take a break, the choice is yours, and there’s no hassle. And if you ever want to return, the door’s always open!
