Faith at Work: Made to Flourish

Explanation

Disciples of Jesus Christ have been and are being transformed as they live under the Lordship of Christ. These disciples proclaim the gospel with their lips and their lives.

This training track will focus on the implications of worship and life specifically at the intersection of faith and work as we connect Sunday with the rest of the week. This training will:

• Raise awareness about human flourishing under the Lordship of Christ through the integration of faith and work
• Develop a theology of work to provide contextualized resources for pastors, leaders and congregations
• Illustrate this theology of work in action through testimonies
• Cultivate rich and catalytic conversations to engage churches
• Provide an opportunity for a grant to implement a strategic ministry plan integrating faith and work in the local church where you serve

This track is intended for pastors, leaders and all others who desire to live faithfully and fully where God has placed them vocationally. Although each individual session can be attended as a stand-alone session, the greatest benefit of learning and implementation keys will be gained by attending all sessions.
