AT THE
SYMPOSIUM
PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
Have you ever sat through a professional development training and felt the content was not only misaligned with Biblical principles, but actually contradictory to them? At the symposium, you'll have the opportunity to sharpen your professional skills in a God-honoring way, remaining anchored in your Biblical worldview. Topics will include productivity, leadership, conflict resolution...and more!
SPIRITUAL EDIFICATION
You may work in marketing, tech, education, or another industry. In any case, it's critical to nurture your spiritual health. The symposium will feature workshops on Bible topics and spiritual disciplines, all tailored to your unique goals and challenges as a Christian professional. Topics will include Bible study methods, discipleship, defending your Christian faith with love and respect...and more!
FELLOWSHIP + NETWORKING
You are not alone. You have brothers and sisters all around the region who are also showing up in the marketplace as ambassadors of Christ. The symposium will provide several opportunities to connect with fellow Christian professionals. You'll discuss common experiences, enjoy food together, and end the day with the symposium Fellowship Hour.
...whatever you do, do all for the glory of God.
