Instructor-led Online Course
Our second section of the instructor-led online course began on January 22, 2019. The start date of our third section is pending.
Faith & Co: Business on Purpose is an education and formation experience with the goal of inspiring and equipping business people to approach their work as service to God and the common good. Taught by an award winning professor and delivered in an online format, this course incorporates a series of evocative short films shot in four countries, featuring stories of Christians living out their calling in a wide variety of industries and positions. These films make up the foundation of our curriculum. Over eight weeks, we will deeply explore the themes, concepts, and questions raised by the films through exercises, readings, and interviews with business and thought leaders (i.e., Bill Pollard, Jeff Van Duzer, Denise Daniels, and Steve Garber).
There are both free and for-credit versions of the course.
