What is Work-Based Ministry?

Work-Based Ministry, also known as Workplace or Marketplace Ministry, is a term we use to talk about a life of ministry that takes place through your everyday work.

As followers of Christ, many of us spend every day at work in the marketplace – the world of business, government, education and healthcare – often merely ‘surviving’ through the week, in an attempt not to let the secular world shape us. But the Lord’s will for us is that we impact that world for good, shining and ministering for Him right where we are, day-to-day.

Work-based ministry is full-time ministry, without changing your career! It’s a change of mind, to see your work as service to the Lord, first. As the Apostle Paul wrote to believers in his letter to the Colossians:

“Whatever you do, do it as unto the Lord”

(Colossians 3:23).
