Faith Audits and Best Practices

The global church is increasingly aware of the role of businesses in impacting individuals’ lives and nations for the Kingdom of Heaven. This awareness creates a need for a deeper understanding of best-practices in business which empower profitable and purposeful integration of faith. A team of 9 faculty experts, with decades of market research experience, across multiple universities have partnered to explore how business leaders integrate faith to create business impact and to contribute to the great commission.

The purpose of the faith audit is to help make business leaders more impactful in the integration of faith with business leadership! Participating companies will receive a proprietary report and dashboard indicating the sources, presence, and outcomes of faith integration in their organization. The long-term goal is to integrate the insights of Christian business leader’s best business practices to create a general framework for faith integration to influence better business decisions. This framework will be employed to teach and train Christian business students and professionals.

What we want to know:

  • What are the sources or inputs of faith in the marketplace?

  • How is faith present in the marketplace?

  • How does faith impact operational performance and transform lives?
