Leaders and employees face immense challenges in the workplace. These days, lingering pandemic-related disruption to business models, threats to organisational success, and eroding well-being of employees are genuine stresses at work -- and at home.
In this context, how can we not only persevere but thrive creatively at work?
Take your everyday, ordinary life--your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life--and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him. ~ Romans 12:1 (The Message)
Union Church's Faith in the Marketplace ministry helps employees and leaders align around God’s vision for the organisation. Together, we can bless our companies and organisations by applying an eternal perspective to our workplace integrity, relationships and decisions.
This ministry aims to help everyone in the workplace:
Together, we can transform the marketplace for God.
As we face the prolonged upheaval to our lives and work caused by COVID-19 and the associated challenges of remote working and isolation from colleagues and community, we can look forward with hope and contribute to our organisations from an eternal perspective.
The Halftime Summit returned to Hong Kong on 10 and 11 September 2021 to enable marketplace leaders to explore, discover and live out their calling for significance and to be a blessing to the communities that they serve. Download the flyer.
In this online event on 18 August 2021, Pastor John Snelgrove shared his energy and insight to seeking significance for the Lord and our being challenged to meet “Kingdom Performance Indicators”.
Our first panel discussion debuted on the 10th of February 2021. This interactive session featured three workplace ministry leaders who shared their testimonies of living out Christian fellowship and witness at work. Read our post-event review of the discussions led by panelists Ken Lung, Patricia Lau and Anthony Lo, together with moderator, Andrew Lo.
