About This Partner

The Institute for Marketplace Transformation (IMT) develops resources to help Christians integrate their faith and work. Our mission is equipping and empowering Christians to live out their Kingdom calling in the world from Monday through Sunday.

Many Christians feel their work is disconnected from what they incorrectly perceive to be God's work in the world. At best, the money they earn can support God's “real workers”: missionaries, church workers, and those in not-for-profit ministries. Their part is merely to provide resources, to obtain those resources without sinning, and to witness co-workers. The actual work they do is merely secular, so it does not matter in the same way sacred work does. Discovering that God cares about the actual work we do, and that everything we do is sacred, is giving many Christians new meaning and purpose, and is advancing God's kingdom in new and fresh ways.

IMT helps Christians integrate their faith and work by providing a host of resources including videos and study guides for small groups, courses and seminars, and certificates that can provide three credits towards a master’s degree at Regent College in Vancouver. We also offer consulting and mentoring services to professional and business leaders.

IMT has a fellow’s program, which is a 12-month intensive discipleship community designed to help you grow in your integration of faith and work with a strong biblical, spiritual and theological foundation. Our hope is that this program will also help you become an agent and ministry in marketplace ministry whether in your church, business, workplace, or not-for-profit.

The fellow’s group will be led by Dr. Paul Stevens and other IMT leaders and is for entrepreneurs, professionals, non-profit leaders, and pastors who are interested in the integration of faith and work. This group is an intensive year of education, training and enrichment in the integration of faith and work. Dr. Paul Stevens says this about the fellow’s group, “In sixty years of investment in training and teaching the integration of faith and life, specifically with faith and work, this is the most fruitful thing I have been involved in.”
