  ABSTRACT: Entrepreneurship has a critical role to play in sustainable development. The form of its contribution to development is through job creation, increasing wealth and income and linking the local economy to the international economy. Besides, religion can influence engagement in entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial decision making in multiple ways. Relatively much research is done to prove a possible effect of religion on entrepreneurship. However, little is known about keeping believers under a controlled condition, provide practical and concrete support to them in creating enterprises. Therefore, this study aims to explore the way in which Kimbanguist church through its works concept, proceeds to incubate its church members in entrepreneurship. Qualitative research by means of interviews with 500 kimbanguist entrepreneurs was conducted in the city of Nkamba, new Jerusalem. The results showed that through works concept, kimbanguist church uses three steps to incubate believers. This incubation model is an effective and innovative tool in supporting the startup businesses.
