Our Vision
No work has been finished without faith. No faith has been realized without work. The Center for Faith & Work exists to explore this very intersection. It’s here where we wither or flourish. And if vocation truly is, as Buechner claimed, “where our greatest passion meets the world’s greatest need” then our cubicles, studios, and homes are nothing short of sacred.
Any answer to what makes work ‘Christian’? is, in the end, reductive. But, we unabashedly adopt Dorothy Sayers’ working definition: Good work, done well.
From this creed, we derive who we’re for: the city to which we belong and the flourishing of its people. By integrating faith and work, we strive to follow God’s call “to seek the peace and prosperity of the city to which I have carried you into exile. Pray to the Lord for it, because if it prospers, you too will prosper.”
Our Mission
The Center for Faith & Work (CFW) exists to form Christians into agents of renewal who integrate their faith and work for the peace and prosperity of the city. As the cultural renewal arm of Redeemer Presbyterian Church, we foster, shepherd, and empower the church as it is scattered, living and working out in the world, beyond the walls of any one gathered place of worship.
CFW’s programming, classes, and events can be characterized by three different areas of emphasis: 1) theological and discipleship training, 2) community formation, and 3) exploring and fostering innovation and imagination in all fields of work.
