Conference

Faith, Work, And Calling Conference Panel

April 13, 2019

Figuring out how your career, social life, basic responsibilities, and spiritual life connect can become more complicated than you may want to admit. But, God has given you everything you need to do “adulting” well.

Contrary to rumors around this transition, life after graduation does not need to be defined by dissonance and confusion but can be enjoyable and purposeful. Taking advantage of available resources and preparing yourself with realistic expectations can set you up to enter this next phase of life with anticipation and freedom in the journey God has promised to lead you through.

The Faith, Work & Calling Conference, provided a theological framework for your identity and calling, learn why a church community is crucial to your flourishing, and build a game plan for the next steps in your career.

This conference was packed with practical steps for how to discern calling and time to process what’s next in your life. You’ll also have opportunities for conversations with community members in various industries to learn how they integrate faith and work.
