What is Marketplace Matters?
Marketplace Matters exists to help those in the marketplace come together, encourage each other, and live with the perspective that work is worship while growing in their relationship with Jesus Christ.
We want to encourage you to live out Hope's five goals wherever you are. But in order to do this, we need your help. Please consider taking a short survey to help Marketplace Matters at Hope create improved resources to:
- Help you connect with others at your workplace that might attend Hope.
- Create Marketplace groups around your particular industry.
- Invite you to participate in a Vocation Action Groups (groups utilizing their marketplace talents and skills to serve here at Hope, our local community, and globally)
- Create meaningful and relevant events.
Marketplace Groups
Marketplace Groups allow us to live in community as God intended. Unlike a traditional small group at Hope, Marketplace Groups are focused on helping each other understand and live with with the perspective that our work matters to God. When we live this out, our work truly can become a form of worship which has impact on those around us in the marketplace. Walk this journey with others, it was how it was meant to be!
