A Significant Disconnect Has Occurred.
Most Christians see little or no spiritual purpose for their work life. They live a compartmentalized faith content to unplug and coast through a spiritually neutral work week. Between Sundays, people you know and love within your congregation have a growing discontent and feeling of disorientation.They seek relevance and direct application that holds up in 
the "real world" only to experience a recurring gap between the spiritual high of Sunday and the low of Monday morning.
A Significant Response is Required.
God has called the church to disciple, equip, and mobilize His people, including their work life. He has designed and gifted the church so it can affirm people's roles in the greater story He is telling and help them steward the personal ministry opportunities their vocational lives bring them on a daily basis. WorkLife Ministry is a call to externalize the ministry of the church and restore dignity and devotion to every worker and every manner of work.

A Significant Example Has Been Set.
Most of Jesus' parables had a workplace context. Most of His public ministry took place in a marketplace setting. The work lives of the common fisherman, farmer, merchant and tax-collector are how Jesus framed much of his teaching. The same can be true of our churches today. The sum total of the WorkLife influence in your congregation represents a significant opportunity to grow your church, reclaim influence in your community and extend the impact of all the other ministries you currently offer.
