"Two questions haunt every human life and every community. The first: What were we meant to be? The second: Why are we so far from what we're meant to be?" - Andy Crouch, Strong and Weak
God's original intent and design for work was to cultivate and care for His creation — to bring about flourishing. He invites us to join him.
Strong & Weak by Andy Crouch challenges us to rethink the practical realities of our work and leadership. Crouch explores how strength and vulnerability work together to shape wise leadership, healthy relationships, and human flourishing. Over six weeks, participants will reflect on these concepts, discuss how they apply within their own industries and roles, and leave with practical insights for leading and working in ways that cultivate the flourishing of others.
NOTE: If you work in the financial services industry, we have a few groups reserved specifically for you. Just Imagine what could happen if an entire industry were to move the needle — if only a few degrees — toward the flourishing of Charlotte.

There is a growing need among Charlotte-area women for meaningful community and discipleship that connects faith, work, and calling. CIFW envisions creating spaces where women can connect, grow, and be equipped to live out their God-given callings in their workplaces, homes, churches, and communities.
This fall, we’re taking a step toward that vision through a six-week study of Joanna Meyer’s Women, Work, & Calling. Together, we’ll explore a biblical vision for women’s work and influence, engage the challenges of public life, and consider how God might use our gifts and vocations for the flourishing of others.
Come connect with other women, grow in your understanding of faith and work, and discover what it means to faithfully live out your calling.
