Do you want to pursue business with greater everyday passion and purpose? Do you want to deepen your understanding of how the work of business relates to God’s wider purposes in the world? Do you want your business to become more fruitful for Jesus?

Too often in the Christian Church, the world of business is viewed with suspicion or even contempt. Entrepreneurs and business leaders feel this keenly, and often wonder whether their sole contribution is to generate profits and give a proportion of these to various “gospel” initiatives. But if the life of Jesus Christ and his lordship changes everything, this can’t possibly be true. Business leaders and entrepreneurs are called to make a fuller contribution within God’s purposes for this good world.

In this short course, led and facilitated by Nathan McLellan, you will explore God’s purpose for business: what it is, why it matters, and how to make it your own. Topics covered will include God’s purpose for business and how it relates to the wider human vocation, the relationship of business to other institutions (like family and government), developing a redemptive strategy for your own business, and harnessing various tools and approaches to ensure your business is contributing to God’s work in the world. This short course will involve teaching, facilitated workshops and exercises, and peer learning and discussion.

This course is for business leaders and entrepreneurs who want to deepen their understanding of their role within God’s purposes, and to further unlock their potential for contributing to God’s work in the world.
