Here are some comments from those who attended a prior workshop in this series:
- “The integration of spiritual and operational stewardship gave me ways to apply what I’ve learnt to my church.”
- “Learnt about stewardship vs being controlling, using our time, talent and treasure to serve the community of God, and bringing order from chaos, to benefit the community in church and at large.”
- “Very important reminder that we don’t own the ministry.”
- “Every good things come from God. Organisational structures and strategies are spiritual in nature as much as financial wisdom that the scripture often teaches.”

Theology of Work – Module 1: Work in God’s Story
Why does work, which has genuine dignity, so often go wrong?
This module begins with common experiences of work as fruitless, pointless, or self-serving, then examines the deeper problem: the human tendency to ask work to provide what only God can give. From there, the module develops a creation-grounded account of work. We will consider what it means to be made in God’s image, to receive responsibility in the world, and to work from a secure identity rather than for one.
