What the Church Can Learn from Business
The church is not a business. Nevertheless, our church life does entail activities and responsibilities parallel to what happens in non-church organizations, whether for-profit businesses or non-profit organizations. Sometimes, our service to Christ in our churches is actually undermined by poor practices and policies in these areas.
We want to take our faith into the workplace—but it is also important to invite our brothers and sisters in the business and professional world to bring back to the church what God has taught them “out there.”

Time: 11:45 a.m. - 1:30 p.m.
Location: Alumni Hall, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary

To what extent is there any movement among today’s Chinese Christian workers, business leaders, or church leaders to bring biblical values, ethics, and management insights into the workplace?
Are there opportunities and needs for this kind of integration of faith and work to take place? Does China’s ruling party welcome such explorations of a potentially constructive role of Christian values and ethics on the conduct of business? Does the Chinese church have a biblical “theology of work”?
Come for an insightful luncheon meeting with someone who can answer these questions. Click here to register.

Description:
What is leadership?
Leadership has been defined in many ways, but it involves moving people and projects forward toward a desired result. Leaders guide, direct, inspire and empower colleagues and followers to reach their objectives. This is not always an easy task in the church or marketplace! Click here to learn more and to register.
