Dr. Mark Walker is the senior pastor at Mt. Paran North Church of God in Marietta, GA, a member of the HCAW’s Advisory Board and a leader in church-based WorkLife Ministry. His Church at Work and Dr. Walker just finished a partnership in a doctoral study at Regent University and the results are awesome.

For the first time ever, we have empirical evidence on the impact of the HCAW church-based WorkLife Ministry process in areas such as job satisfaction, organizational commitment and equipping satisfaction. In this 258-page dissertation, churches that have practiced HCAW WorkLife Ministry Principles, Training, and Processes over time were studied and surveyed. This group was compared to a test group of similar churches that have NOT intentionally addressed members' work lives in this way. Click here for an in-depth summary by Dr. Walker.

Here are just a few highlights from the research:

Members of Churches with a WorkLife Ministry had a/an:

Ø  58% increase in overall satisfaction with their church

Ø  168% increase in satisfaction with church equipping

Ø  Increase in Job Satisfaction (translates into higher productivity and organizational effectiveness)

Ø  Increase in Commitment to their Employers (reduces turnover)
