About Workmatters
For more than 19 years, Workmatters has been walking with Christians in every corner of the marketplace as they close the gap between their faith and work. Our content creators and staff come from backgrounds in business, retail, design, marketing, entertainment, government, education, and nonprofit. What we all share in common is a deep desire to integrate our faith and our work – to uncover deep meaning and recapture God’s intended purpose for work.Â
What began as a local church-based ministry in Fayetteville, Arkansas, quickly grew. The early Workmatters small group gatherings and monthly breakfasts quickly inspired others to start groups of their own. Today, nationally acclaimed speakers from across the country share invaluable knowledge in our Workmatters Institute classes. The Workmatters Institute, a theology-of-work and leadership growth experience, has graduated nearly 500 early-career professionals. Workmatters’ resources, from small group curriculum to on-demand video-based studies and devotions, have touched more than 700,000 people around the globe.
We are so grateful for all that God has done and are working hard to continue toward our goal to transform the workplace by equipping Christian leaders to integrate their faith and work.
