Equipping Professionals for Gospel-Shaped Work

Industry-specific communities where Christian professionals are equipped to steward God’s creation, serve the common good, and participate in the cultural, social, and spiritual renewal of Raleigh and the Triangle.

 

What Are New City Forums?

New City Forums are industry-specific communities where Christian professionals learn to integrate faith and work, meeting 1–3 times annually. They equip Christians to see their work as part of God’s mission while providing practical tools for workplace excellence and city renewal. The forums foster community and networking among Christian professionals throughout Raleigh, and they also offer fresh opportunities for Christian witness by engaging topics of shared interest between Christian and non-Christian professionals in a way that explores the good, true, and beautiful implications of the Gospel.
