An Evangelistic Vision for Work

On June 26th, we will kick off our series by thinking about how we share our faith in word and deed in our places of work. There are so many questions as we consider this topic. Does private faith even belong in the public square? Should we be concerned about HR issues in bringing up faith conversations? How can we walk in wisdom and faith so that we don't put up stumbling blocks to the Good News of Jesus Christ? How can we build trust and make natural connections with our co-workers?

Join us and professionals from various industries to think deeply about these questions and explore answers together. We'll start with dinner and connecting at 6:00 with content at 6:30.

Join us for a Men's Summer Grill Night on Wednesday, June 25th, from 6:30–8:00 PM at the Yohpe’s (1333 South Troy Street, #1)! This will be a great opportunity to connect, build community, and enjoy meaningful conversations. Whether you're new to HTC or have been around for a while, all are welcome. We hope you’ll come spend the evening with us!

Food will be provided, please bring a drink to share!
