Workplace Communities
Connect with other believers at your workplace, and gather regularly to encourage fruitful, Kingdom-aligned work.
God strategically placed you at your Job — Now what?
Many Christians feel like their faith has no place in their professional lives, but that’s far from true. God strategically positions his people in workplaces to be witnesses for Christ through their work.
And one way we encourage believers to live out their faith in the marketplace is through Workplace Communities.
Empowering you to integrate faith and work for lasting impact
Workplace Communities connect believers right where they are, within their actual companies, to form genuine Christian community. These groups give colleagues the opportunity to encourage each other and better live out the Gospel in their workplaces, one conversation and decision at a time.
No two groups are the same
These communities look very different from company to company and person to person. Some gather once a quarter for prayer, others twice a month, and some look like a church plant in the workplace. Many start as just two or three colleagues who want to live out their values at work, while others grow into groups of 100+ at large companies with official Employee Resource Group (ERG) status.
Each group looks different, but they all create space for believers to wrestle with how their faith applies to their daily work and workplace decisions.
This program is for you if you hope to:
Bridge the faith-work divide
and better understand that your professional calling is a place where faith naturally belongs.

Participant Testimonials
These are glimpses of what happens when ordinary believers let their faith influence how they lead, serve, and show up at work.
Having a community of like minded Christian’s who are also pursuing excellence and success at work in a Godly way is huge. I have nothing else like that in my life and in this post-pandemic life where solitude became the norm, unproductive, societal dissent became common and anxiety/depression went through the roof… RLI was like a breath of fresh air.

The community is helping many people find and keep joy in God while at work and to be bold for his glory.
