What is Workplace 313?

Workplace 313 is a non-profit, nondenominational team, founded in 2019, whose mission is to equip and mobilize workplace disciples with the transformative mission, values, and ethics of Jesus and Scripture. It’s all about biblical and meaningful work . . . positive impact on workplace and world . . . and glory and honor to God. 

We all know that Christians are called to honor God 52 Sundays each year as they rest, worship, play, and serve. But biblical faith is equally emphatic that the remaining 313 days of the year—Monday through Saturday—are also days of service to God, people, and all creation. The commandment “Remember the Sabbath day” is paired with an often-forgotten companion: “You shall work six days.” The 313 matter, not just the 52.

Our primary resource is the massive—but often overlooked—teaching about work in the Bible. We will learn from workplace veterans and theological experts. But we believe God also speaks by his Spirit through his people so we want to hear from you as well.
