We go into the world to share the gospel as individuals in our circles of influence and as a body in Houston and beyond. We provide strategic opportunities locally and globally to share the Gospel and also equip the Body of Christ to share their faith in their daily lives.
Explore our giving options and let us answer your questions on how to bless our community with your generosity.
Think Biblically
Develop a theologically-informed imagination regarding all aspects of life, with a special emphasis on the place we spend most of our time—the workplace.
Practice the Way of Jesus
Among a community of cross-vocational peers, implement daily practices and spiritual rhythms that align your whole life to be purposed for others, driven by the love of Jesus.
Renew Work and Culture
Love your work back to what it was intended to be: an act of glorious worship.
We form men and women who lead from a core Christian commitment and worldview.
We empower Christian men and women to be the Church, the hope of the world.
We help men and women integrate their Christian faith with all of life.
We believe work is worship, and we help Christian men and women make it so.
It’s a lot of fun. Trust us.
Beginning Sept 18 until mid-May 2024, we will meet every Monday from 6:30–8:30 PM for hands-on teaching and community learning experiences, diving head first into applicable, Gospel-rich course content:
The Story: The Gospel and Other Tales
The Characters: God and Us
The Call: Vocational Work
The Acts: The Gospel and Houston
The End: Liturgies that Point to Glory
We retreat overnight in the hill country of Texas to go deep on content and community formation.

Covenantal Commissioning
These retreats provide meaningful opportunities to get away from the buzz of the busy city, invest in community, and worship God together.
We also spend time discussing the most important concepts in the course, which provide the paradigms that lead to our personal and group transformation over the 9-month program.
*Attending these retreats is a requirement.
In addition to daily devotional content designed to shape and re-shape your heart and prayer life, we also assign practical projects which integrate our weekly course content and communal discussions. These projects include:
The Biblical Narrative Project
The Self-Counseling Project
The Work-Site Visit Project
The Cultural Renewal Project
These projects are designed to help apply and “make-practical” the course content and material so you can instantiate the needed rhythms of change and formation required in your life.
