Here are three upcoming conferences on faith and work that I’d highly recommend attending if you’re able to make it:
When: January 11-12
Where: Gaithersburg, MD; Covenant Life Church
How much: $79 for early registration (ends Jan 7), otherwise $99
Synopsis from the website: “The Gospel at Work conference was born out of a desire to help Christians think and live differently in the workplace. It’s designed to help Christians think biblically and theologically about their work. What is God’s purpose for my work? How does the gospel change my work? How does applying the truths of the gospel help me manage differently? How does a Christian strategize and plan their career?”
Keynote Speakers: Os Guinness, author and social critic; Mark Dever, Senior Pastor of Capitol Hill Baptist Church; Michael Lawrence, Senior Pastor, Hinson Baptist Church; Bob Doll, Former Chief Investment Officer, Blackrock; Eric Simmons, Lead Pastor, Redeemer Church
When: January 18-19
Where: Richmond, VA
How much: $55
Synopsis from the website: “A lot of Christians are confused about how the work they do Monday to Friday connects with who they are on Sundays. Yet the Bible views our work as central to our calling and a way that we can directly connect with the mission of God…Our city needs many more Christians who see their vocations as a way to advance the common good of Richmond. Together as lawyers, doctors, business leaders, electricians, artists, and stay-at-home parents, we will gather to explore what it means to see our everyday work as a meaningful part of our Christian calling.”
Keynote speakers: Andy Crouch, author and editor of Christianity Today; Dr. Amy Sherman, Senior Fellow at the Sagamore Institute for Policy Research, author of Kingdom Calling: Vocational Stewardship for the Common Good
The Gospel Coalition 2013 Post-Conference on Faith and Work
When: April 10, 1-6pm
Where: Orlando, RL; Rosen Shingle Creek
How Much: $235 (this includes the entire conference, from April 8-10)
Synopsis from the website: “Tim Keller and several other leaders in the church, marketplace, and broader culture will focus on a variety of issues related to the Christian faith and its role in our work and vocation.”
Keynote Speakers: Tim Keller, Senior Pastor of Redeemer Presbyterian Church, author of Every Good Endeavor: Connecting Your Work to God’s Work
