We’re excited to kick off our 2026-27 Lunch + Learn series, “God’s Presence in Our Work”. This series of lunch conversations is open to anyone curious about integrating their Christian faith and their work. Each gathering offers space to pause during the workday, meet someone new, and learn from others in town seeking to honor God with their work.

Seeing Work as Holy Ground

What would it look like for you to see your workplace as holy ground?

Throughout Scripture, God uses ordinary people and places to speak, transform, and further His mission. He meets Moses in the desert (Exodus 3), a woman drawing water at a well (John 4), and two fishermen casting their nets on a boat (Luke 5). Again and again, ordinary places become settings for encounters with God.

The same can be true of our work. We don’t need extraordinary jobs to encounter God or be used by Him. Whether we work from home, in an office cubicle, behind a barber chair, or in a transport truck, God is present because He has made his dwelling among us. Our workplaces are set apart—and that changes how we see the places and people around us.

Join us Tuesday, September 1, from 11:30 a.m.–1:00 p.m. to hear from Sarah Arata and Nate Adams about what it means to see their work as holy ground. Sarah, an account executive, and Nate, a local barber, will share how they see their places of vocation as spaces where God is forming them into the likeness of Christ and using their work for the good of others.

About the Series

Over the past year, we’ve heard from people across industries and career stages who share a common challenge: staying connected to God in their daily work. The pace and demands of our lives both within and outside of our jobs can make it difficult to pay attention to God’s presence in the everyday.

This series is an invitation to just do that. Over the next few months, we’ll hear from people across professions about the challenges they face, the spiritual practices they lean on, and the biblical truths that help draw their attention back to God. From entering our workspace to starting a meeting, sending an email, updating a spreadsheet, or talking with a colleague, God is already present—and inviting us to participate with Him.
