Imagine the impact, the influence for Christ that would occur if every believer was working within the power of God naturally and confidently in their work lives!

WorkLife Ministry is about individual life change. It is about portraying biblically accurate beliefs and attitudes. It's about allowing those beliefs and attitudes to dictate our actions and behaviors in such a way that others notice something 'different'. And that's when the door to influence others is opened.

Our WorkLife Solution is designed to intentionally impact and equip believers in 6 key areas that influence our beliefs, attitudes, actions and behaviors.

Consider the following empirical evidence from a Doctoral Research Study conducted on HCAW empowered churches. The research discovered the following impact on the members of these churches with intentional WorkLife ministries compared to a control group of other churches:

• An incredible 58% increase in overall satisfaction with their church
• A 168% increase in satisfaction with the "equipping" provided by their church
• An increase in their job satisfaction at work (more productivity)
• An increase in commitment to their employers (less turnover)
