Come Monday morning, the Sunday church congregation spreads out throughout the community. Some are at work in an office building, some are teaching students, some working retail, construction, bagging groceries or tending to patients. Some find their work as a student and others as a stay-at-home parent. One's work occupies more of their waking hours than any other activity throughout their lifetime.
The workplace is where one influences others through their character, decisions and actions. This is where faith informed work benefits employers, customers and the community. Unfortunately, according to the Barna Group, 72% of Christians do not see how their faith informs their everyday work or how work has any eternal value.
The Faith, Work & Money Church Integration Inventory™ is a strategic ministry tool for pastors and church leaders. It provides a snapshot as to how effectively the church is equipping people in their everyday work and vocation. It surfaces both visible and invisible beliefs, behaviors and cultural dynamics.
The Church Integration Inventory is a data-driven resource grounded in organizational research, organizational change, biblical principles, and decades of business, academic, pastoral, and statistical experience. It is a research-based resource to equip church leaders to strengthen discipleship, align culture and equip their congregation for Kingdom impact through their daily work.
The Faith, Work & Money Church Integration Inventory™ was developed through a strategic partnership between Helen Mitchell, Chuck Proudfit (At Work on Purpose), and Dr. Jason Wilson (Biola University). Together, they bring decades of experience in executive leadership, business, statistical analysis, pastoral ministry, theology, education, organizational research and the global faith and work movement.
Whether your church is just beginning to explore faith and work or is seeking to deepen an existing ministry, the inventory provides meaningful data, practical recommendations, and a roadmap for greater Kingdom impact.
Turning Insight into Intentional Action
As your church grows in clarity and alignment in discipling your congregation in their work life, you create a culture where believers are increasingly equipped to live out their calling at work. The Church Inventory helps church leaders better understand how the leadership, organizational culture, systems and congregational engagement shape their church's ability and effectiveness to equip believers in their work life.
The Church Inventory measures 4 Key Domains: Leadership, Culture, Congregation and Administration.
Within each of the four domains are three key indicators, 12 key indicators in total. These indicators act like dashboard lights to reveal areas of strength or areas to develop. Across the whole Faith, Work & Money Church Integration Inventory™ are twelve key ideas.
You will receive a comprehensive report to guide the pastors and church leaders on this journey. We are here to walk with you. You do not have to do this alone.
