Special 7-Week Offering of the 6-Week Course
This moment of profound brokenness in Los Angeles, as we witness the devastation of the fires, reminds us of how deeply the world—and even our callings—can be disrupted by pain and loss. Yet, it is in these moments that we also see God’s redemptive presence, bringing beauty, hope, and restoration amid the ashes.

With this in mind, we invite you to join us for a special 7-week offering of our introductory Faith + Work course. This course from the Center for Faith + Work Los Angeles includes an additional week dedicated to the Sabbath. Over seven weeks, we will explore biblically-based topics designed to help you gain insight into God’s intentions for our work.

Together, we will consider what it means to integrate our faith and work in meaningful ways, confront the idols and cultural narratives we navigate daily, and address the brokenness inherent in our vocational lives. Through spiritual practices, group discussions, and community, we will uncover the goodness, purpose, and beauty that God reveals in the midst of our work—and even in the broken places of our world.
