Getting Church Back to Business

Three entrepreneurs explore the role the church has to play in starting businesses that provide inclusive, ethical employment particularly for those who face additional barriers getting into work.

 

Unemployment may be at a 50-year low, but it’s not good news for everyone. The statistics only tell part of the story. There are many people who face additional challenges and continue to struggle to secure stable work with supportive employers.

James Faddes from Glesga Roasters, Matt Parfitt from Grace Enterprises, and Alison Macklin from The Plunkett Foundation share their experience and insight.

In this webinar we explore

• What are community businesses and why do we need them?
• How churches can provide sustainable supportive employment?
• Are evangelism and business compatible?
• How can churches move beyond the foodbank model?
• What does independence really look like?
