Born and raised on a farm in southwest Nebraska, Regeneco Founder Doug Tjaden has always had a heart for the intersection between local communities and God's Creation. His life journey and broad set of life experiences, along with many tremendous relationships God has blessed him with along the way have shaped his passion for helping humanity escape the trap of today's economic "traditions of men."
Regeneco is one platform God has given him to serve the body of Christ in the coming years as our entire global system of value creation and exchange undergoes dramatic change.
Doug and his wife Kathy, have been married for forty years. They are blessed with five children and seven grandchildren, all who make their homes near where they live in Harrisonville, Missouri, USA.
What We Do
In the Beginning
Regeneco began with a revelation by Founder Doug Tjaden that every day, we "trade" our God-given gifts, time, and resources with one-another. For followers of Jesus, our purpose is to build God's Kingdom "on earth as it is in heaven." However, the practical systems that govern our trades are not designed according to God's principles and ways. Throughout history, the damage this has caused both humanity and Creation is incalculable, yet few people realize it.
It was never meant to be this way.
It doesn't have to remain this way.
Our Mission
To educate families, churches, and communities on God's economic principles of Kingdom building. Then, provide them with the guidance needed to begin to adopt those principles in their families, churches, and communities.
Our Method
Through small group studies, interactive courses, online seminars, Community Resiliency Councils, and Intercessor Prayer Councils, Regeneco serves families, churches, and communities ready to return to God's ways.
Our Strategy
We empower the "sons and daughters of Issachar" who understand the times and know what the church should do to establish a presence in their communities from which broader community adoption will follow.
Our Core Values
Biblical Worldview
We believe God's Word provides the blueprint for how followers of Jesus should create and exchange value, and we anchor our work in timeless biblical principles rather than man-made systems.
2 Timothy 3:16:17
Church-Led Restoration
We believe that the body of Christ is set apart by God to administer the affairs of the earth, and we are given biblical principles that alone can solve the most pressing problems the world faces.
Matthew 5:13-16
Image-Bearer Identity
We affirm that every person is created as God's image-bearer with unique gifts and calling, designed to work together in building His Kingdom. It is our duty to protect and nurture that identity.
Genesis 1:26
Faithful Stewardship
We recognize that everything belongs to God and we are to have open hands with the resources, relationships, and opportunities He entrusts to us for the benefit of His Kingdom and future generations.
Psalm 50:10-11
Abundance Mindset
We operate from God's perspective of abundance rather than worldly scarcity, trusting His principles to create sustainable provision when stewarded according to His principles.
Genesis Chapter 1
Generational Resiliency
We commit to building systems and practices that will create lasting impact for generations, ensuring our communities are resilient and Kingdom-focused regardless of external circumstances.
Proverbs 13:22
Practical Application
We believe biblical principles must be lived out in daily life and that it is our responsibility to build practical tools and systems that enable communities to promote human flourishing.
