Our Business Theology should frame itself on the Biblical Principles of Creation, Fall, Redemption & Restoration. At this summit, we will discuss ways, that we as marketplace leaders, can base our work in marketplace in these four guiding principles.
1. How do these principles influence the way we serve others?
2. How do we address the truth of Creation?
3. How do we reaffirm the reality of the Fall?
4. How do we lead others to the power of Redemption?
5. How do we address Restoration, both for now & in the future?
We will also review & finalize our Vision, Purpose, Mission, as well as discuss ways that we can collaborate our Objectives, Strategies & Actions throughout this year and into 2016. Visit our Facebook Group Page (Members Only)
