We try to find ways to help people (ourselves included) tap into the deep resources of their own faith or spirituality and thereby find sources of strength, purpose, and wisdom in their work lives.
This can involve exploring spiritual practices, engaging the Bible and the Christian tradition, and considering the connections between the practical or secular aspects and the spiritual aspects of our daily work.

NEW CURRICULUM FOR SMALL GROUPS
Transforming Work is a small group program and curriculum designed for people who take their work seriously and who have an interest in exploring how their own faith or spirituality might inform and support them in their work. The book includes twelve sessions, each one dealing with a practical work issue and including a passage of scripture that might offer a new point of view and commentary and questions designed to encourage reflection and discussion. It is suitable for use both within churches and in the workplace, and does not require any particular theological background. More Information
