The Bellevue
God’s Pleasure at
WorK Event
(GPAW Course and Community Showcase)
Dates: Friday, October 31, and Friday, December 5 (This is a 2-day event.)
Time: 8:00am – 4:00pm (lunch included)
Location: Westminster Chapel, Bellevue, WA
Primary Audience: a) Owners, CEOs and managerial-level participants from businesses; b) pastors, staff, elders and deacons from local churches; and c) leaders and board members from Non-Government Organizations and agencies that promote the integration of Christian faith with work, paid or volunteer. Secondary Audience: All followers of Christ who desire to integrate their faith with their work.
Purpose and Main Objective: This event brings together leaders and staffs of businesses, churches, and Non-Government Organizations to focus on the integration of faith and work through the lives of followers of Christ in the workplace and the volunteer efforts of businesses, churches and NGOs in the community. The objective to strengthen our mutual commitment to the application of biblical faith to the world of work, in all settings.
GPAW Course: God’s Pleasure At Work is a multi-media presentation by Dr. Christian Overman focusing on how a biblical worldview invigorates the workplace, renews the community and transforms culture. For this event, the GPAW course will span 35 days, beginning with a full-day workshop on October 31 (Part 1) and concluding with a full-day workshop on December 5 (Part 2). During the five week interim, participants will be encouraged to read the text that accompanies the GPAW course, Assumptions That Affect Our Lives, and consider specific (optional) study questions with a friend or a small group of their own choosing.
The GPAW course is based upon the premise that “God does His work through carpenters, cops and CEOs.” For a follower of Christ, there’s no such thing as “secular work.” As the English Puritan George Swinnock once said, “…his shop as well as his chapel is holy ground.”
Teachers, pastors and business leaders who complete this course will qualify to secure a GPAW Site Use License that will allow them to use the GPAW materials (PowerPoint slides, video clips, audio clips and complete speaking notes) to instruct others, within the context of their own business, church or school. (There is an added cost for the Site Use License.)
