One of the most important and untapped mission fields is the marketplace. Most people spend more than half their waking hours at work, commuting to and from work or with co-workers or other professionals. They typically spend more time at work or work-related functions than they do with their families, sleeping, or any other activity. Personal and spiritual needs end up taking a back seat to meetings, deadlines, and work agendas. Many find they cannot attend church regularly and have no spiritual foundation on which to base life’s decisions or face life issues at work or at home.
The cause of Center for Marketplace Ministries is to reach out to minister and provide support where people are spending the majority of their lives…at work!
Center for Marketplace Ministries invests significant resources in equipping Christian business owners and leaders in earning the right to share their faith in the context of marketplace relationships through modeling Christ-like Servant Leadership. Employees who work for organizations they consider to be spiritual are less fearful, less likely to compromise their values, and more able to invest themselves into their work.
While other ministries and organizations work to serve church-attending Christians in the workplace, few have developed strategic initiatives to provide on-going support of Christian change agents. This unique aspect of Center for Marketplace Ministries aggressively positions itself as an excellent alternative to leading secular training and consulting companies.
People spend more time at work than anywhere else. But just because they go to work doesn’t mean they’ve left their worries at home. Anxieties crowd out focused work time. Hospital visits create mounting unpaid days off. Illness and death devastate families and burden employees with skyrocketing health care costs.
Employees aren’t the only ones who suffer during crisis. Time after time, employers repeat stories of inadequate workplace support programs and feelings of helplessnes

Boldly bringing God’s Word to the marketplace, we will strive to make the Word of God real and relevant to the way people conduct their personal and professional lives.
We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of God.
We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory.
We believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful people, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential.
We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life.
We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved unto the resurrection of life and they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation.
We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.
