Have you ever wondered, “What is a “Marketplace Ministry?” You’re in the marketplace with your career or in a ministry talking about God, right? No, the lines are not that defined. If you are serious about your faith, you can’t lay it down because you have a career. You and your faith are a package deal, even if people don’t know how you operate. In Marketplace Ministry, instead of hiding your faith, you live your faith for the world to see. Your business and ministry coexist. That is Marketplace Ministry.
The love of God is not your secret just for church on Sunday. God’s love is for everyone to see and experience–people who go to church AND those who don’t.
That God doesn’t care about your business is wrong. He cares about people. People go to work, so He cares about work. That’s not all He cares about–
- He cares about how you handle money (Psalm 37:21).
- He cares about how you lead (James 3:1, Proverbs 27:23-24).
- He cares about how you treat people (Matthew 7:12, Phil 2:3).
- He cares about how you grow (1 Timothy 4:8).
- He cares about how you spend your weekends (Proverbs 4:23).
- He cares about multiplying what you have (Matthew 25:14-30).
- He cares about YOU (Psalm 32:8, 1 Peter 5:6-7).
A New Era in Marketplace Ministry has emerged out of a cultural need for employees to have a voice in the workplace. Marketplace Ministry offers business practices as a solution to move forward.
No longer should you drop your values at the door of your office. The business environment has a culture and so do you, and both are important. In Marketplace Ministry, people matter as individuals, not just employees or profit-makers.
As we consider our shifting culture, Marketplace Ministry leads the way in establishing a new business era that cares about people.
