WorkLife

Did you know that God wants you to love your job?

Work that is aligned with God's purpose for your life is fulfilling and fruitful. It's what makes you jump out of bed on Monday morning rather than hitting the snooze button a few more times.

When you connect your faith with your job and let God lead, you start to realize that your daily labors have eternal significance. So how do you let go of job frustration and fatigue and start seeing your work from God's perspective?

START A CBC WORKLIFE LIFEGROUP

One of the best ways to transform your work life is to enjoy fellowship with other Christians who understand. In a CBC WorkLife Group you will:

• Get encouragement for the daily challenges you face.
• Share fellowship with other Christians at your workplace or off-site.
• Study work-related curriculum provided by CBC or your choice.
• Pray together and share praise reports.
• Get access to online resources suggested by CBC WorkLife Support Team

Interested in starting a WorkLife group, please let us know.
