Overview
Mission
Cultivating faith and work integration in the bay area to transform people who are transforming the world
What it reported doing in 2024
Summit 2024: on nov 2, 2024 we gathered for the inaugural bay area faith & work summit. God brought together nearly 400 believers to ask, "how can we integrate our faith & work to transform the world?" the connections, the inspirational stories, the encouragement of brother and sisters was overwhelmingly what we need to catalyze this moment and move forward. We came together to join a new movement for advancing god's kingdom through the integration of faith, work and technology. In the san francisco bay area, we have a unique opportunity to shape culture and communities on a golobal scale. The products, ideas and trends that we export affect virtually every person on the planet. When christians are able to integrate their faith into their professional work, we can influence company cultures toward kingdom principles, design products to enhance our humanity instead of diminish it, and encourage silicon valley toward an ethos that values purpose over profit. But we can't do it alone. Now more than ever, we need eath other. Together we will help you to gain a vision for how your faith can transform your work and build connections to other people and organizations on the same journey.
