We are excited to announce the launch of Foundations of Faith and Work, a theology course available through NIFW or in partnership with your church designed to equip groups and congregations with a Biblical theology of work.
what is foundations of faith and work?
Foundations of Faith and Work is a 10-session course designed as an introduction to faith and work theology. The course is designed as a small group curriculum, with downloadable, highly engaging video teachings, facilitator and participant guides, and discussion questions.
Both theologically rich and accessible, Foundations of Faith and Work content was developed by NIFW’s Senior Advisor, Dr. Paul Lim, a divinity school professor with a Masters of Divinity from Princeton University and a Ph.D from Cambridge University.
why foundations of faith and work?
For many of us, we will spend a majority of our lives at work. However, many Christians are dissatisfied in their work, and have not been taught how their work is an integral part of their worship. God has designed a better story for work than the one many of us are living.
Foundations of Faith and Work equips Christians as the “scattered church” to see their work has eternal value and purpose. Through this course, you will understand how the Gospel speaks into your job and industry, learn to serve others more effectively, and experience deeper meaning in your daily work as you sense God’s redemptive purposes for your vocation.
“This course,” says Executive Director Rose Wynne Brooks, “provides greater accessibility to all workers seeking to understand how their work, paid and unpaid, matters to God. Our hope is that the commitment level allows parents with young children, executives with limited margin, young professionals in career building mode, and retirees wondering what’s next to gain a foundational understanding of participating in God’s mission in their workplace, regardless of industry, job type, or career stage.”
who is this course for?
Foundations of Faith and Work is for Christians that desire to see how their work—both paid and unpaid—is an essential way to promote human dignity and flourishing in the Greater Nashville area. This course is available to churches of all sizes, denominations, and locations.
