The hope of all Creation is found in the life, death, and resurection of Jesus Christ. This Good News is not only about saving our individual souls from the curse of sin, it’s about redeeming and reconciling all things back to God through Jesus. It’s about getting God’s original design from Creation back on track! The Gospel restores sacred meaning to our human vocation and establishes an eternal Kingdom that we are all called to declare to the very ends of the earth. All our work emerges from this beautiful finished work of Jesus Christ.
Most people struggle to connect their faith in Christ with their everyday jobs. Work we do for the church is seen as sacred while the work we do in the marketplace is instinctively designated secular.

Good work theology begins with seeing our work as a beloved role within God’s Great Storyline.

We have a passion for the unreached, the areas of our world with no adequate witness of the Gospel. Business as mission is one of the most strategic ways for us to reach them. There are places today where people are born, live, and die without ever having the chance to hear about Jesus. We want to change that.
