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.

Redemptive Entrepreneurship: A Conversation on Business, Calling, and Leadership with Darren Thompson

Join Work Matters for an evening fireside conversation with Darren Thompson, President of Process Alliance, as he explores what it means to lead with conviction in the world of business and entrepreneurship. Together, we'll examine what redemptive leadership actually looks like in practice — how faith shapes the decisions leaders make about people, profit, risk, and purpose, and how the gospel speaks into the pressures and opportunities that come with building something new.

Wednesday, November 4 | 7-8:30 PM | Rooms 205/6/Cafe
