Faith & Work – August 10-31, 2025
The call to follow Jesus is not part-time. It is not reserved for Sunday mornings, quiet times, or mission trips. It is total, all-of-life, every-square-inch discipleship—and one of the clearest testing grounds of that reality is your work.
Whether you’re leading meetings, folding laundry, navigating spreadsheets, fixing HVAC units, or teaching third grade, you are never off the clock when it comes to following Jesus. Not because God is watching with suspicion, but because God is present with purpose. You are a disciple—even at work.
Our Vision
We exist to help connect Jesus to people, people to community, community to mission.
