Business People: Ever wondered how your faith connects directly to your skills in business? What has the ability to read a balance sheet, design a marketing campaign, or craft a legal operating agreement got to do manifesting the reign of Christ on earth? Are you really only in your secular job to act ethically and be a good witness? Could there be a bigger picture that God has – a role created for you that uses your skills?

Church Leaders: Business people in our congregations represent some of the most talented and under-engaged groups we serve. Come and listen to a theology that connects their skills and experience with the church's mission. Hear exciting stories of how business is being used in partnership with the local church to bring spiritual and economic transformation to whole communities.

Please join us for the entire morning or just a portion of it. The schedule will be:

  7:30 - 9 am - The Business of Transformation - the role of business in the Kingdom

  9:30 - 11 am - Explore the theory and practice of integrating mission with business

 The cost for this event is $5 to be collected at the door.
