Work Matters

Explore God's Purpose for Your Work

What is God's purpose for your work? Does work matter to God? At Park, we believe that every area of our lives is important to God including our work.

What is Work Matters?
Work Matters is Park's group for professionals of every kind. The vision of Work Matters is to equip and empower the Park community to embrace God’s eternal purposes for work, for the welfare of Chicago and the advancement of His Kingdom.

We do this through three ways: 
  1. Training. Work Matters holds classes every Spring and Fall focused on helping our Park community surrender their work to God 
  2. Vocational Groups. We have vocational groups for people in the Corporate, Medical, and Education fields to allow professionals to connect with others in their field. More groups are coming soon!
  3. City-wide Engagement. We partner with other churches and ministries across the city to host events focused on equipping Chicagoland Christians to more fully align their work to God's purposes and seek the welfare of the city.

Salt & Light: Evangelism In The Workplace

In our present moment of deep division and political tension, how can Christians be "Salt and Light" in their workplaces?

Join us for a morning with author, speaker, and theologian Kaitlyn Schiess as we explore how to represent Christ with wisdom, humility, and grace in these turbulent times. Kaitlyn’s work on faith, politics, and public life offers a compelling vision for Christian engagement grounded in the hope of God's coming kingdom . Drawing from her books The Ballot and the Bible and The Liturgy of Politics, she will help us consider how the gospel shapes our conversations, relationships, and integrity at work and how we can be faithful witnesses even in our polarized public spaces
