Christians are called by God to be forces for good in our broken world. In Matthew 5, Jesus tells us to “let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven” (Matt 5:16 CSB).  A culture of goodness flows from our churches when each of us faithfully live out this calling in light of the hope we have in the gospel. 

We must live out this God-given calling in every area of ministry – even in areas like:

Governance, Financial Policies, Technology, Security Measures, Risk Management, Abuse Prevention Measures, Leadership, People Management, and Insurance Policies. Intentional pursuit of Christ-honoring practices in these often overlooked areas of ministry supports, enables, and steward the work of the church, ultimately leading to human flourishing as intended by God.

But what does it mean to be a force for good in these areas? How do we support and contribute to a culture of goodness in our churches that makes them bright lights to our watching world? 

Join this gathering of executive and denominational leaders focused around organizational health and the role of holistic stewardship in making our churches and Christian ministries forces for good in our world. As we answer God’s call as Christians to be lights to the world, we must consider how the leadership and administration of our ministries shape culture and how that culture impacts the brightness of our light.

Don’t miss this full day summit with leaders from denominations, associations, and networks working together with industry leaders to innovate how to be forces for good in all aspects of our churches and organizations.
