The Goal
The Avodah Institute offers educational events for leaders to help them integrate the claims of their faith with the demands of their work. Some programs are open to the public and others are invitation-only events. Some are programs that we have designed and implemented ourselves; others are external events that in some fashion we have supported as they meet the Institute's professional standards and objectives.

Our Approach
Our educational method avoids prescriptive and simplistic "seven easy steps to success" types of approaches. We believe that all participants must individually discover and appropriate what works for them in their own personal and corporate context. The Avodah Institute seeks to provide ethical guidance and spiritual nurture to help people discover, design, and embrace their own formula and framework for integration. The results of this process are enhanced ethical frameworks and spiritual disciplines that strengthen a leader's corporate performance and personal walk of faith.

To do this, we bring together leading thinkers and proven practitioners from a variety of disciplines, including business, the professions, academia, and theology. While all faith traditions are welcome, The Avodah Institute approaches these discussions from the perspective of the Christian tradition.

The Avodah Institute also initiates and supports external educational programs that conduct research, publish articles, develop curricula, lead seminars, and sponsor mentoring networks that support its mission statement.
