Life After College: Finding Meaning in Faith, Work & Calling

Do you find yourself questioning what you were created to do? Does God have one right job for you after college? Do you feel like college has fully prepared you for the challenges of the workforce? Do you have a certain sense of calling?

On average, we spend 90,000 hours of our lives at work. We want these hours to be meaningful, and our gifts and education productively employed. Our desire is to be aligned with God’s good purposes for us. But…Is it really possible for these work-related wants to be fulfilled? Can we really make strong connections between meaning, work, and faith in today’s world?

During this Upper House cohort series, you will learn more about how to—

• discern God’s calling in a constantly changing world
• engage what the Bible actually says about work
• develop healthy habits and a realistic mindset for the world of work
• reflect productively on their work journey

We are created to be God’s image-bearers, to pursue and live out God’s Kingdom purposes in all that we do. These sessions are set up to help you advance in your life and work journey, knowing more about your purpose and assured that as a child of God you are always beloved, growing, and accompanied in all that you do.

Who is this Cohort for? 

This cohort is for students who want to dig deeper into what God has for them, their work, and their faith. Each week we will learn about what the Bible has to say about work through the lens of the Gospel, discuss practical skillsets to help us discern calling, and engage in small group discussions. During our final week, we will match each student with local vocational mentors (either one-on-one or in small groups) to have a galvanizing discussion about how to integrate Christian faith in the workplace.
