What is Marketplace Ministry
Marketplace Ministry, also known as Workplace Ministry, is a term we use to talk about a life of ministry that takes place through your everyday work.
As followers of Christ, many of us spend every day at work in the marketplace – the world of business, government, education and healthcare – often merely ‘surviving’ through the week, in an attempt not to let the secular world shape us. But the Lord’s will for us is that we impact that world for good, shining and ministering for Him right where we are, day-to-day.
Marketplace ministry is full-time ministry, without changing your career! It’s a change of mind, to see your work as service to the Lord, first. As the Apostle Paul wrote to believers in his letter to Colossians: “Whatever you do, do it as unto the Lord” (Col 3:23).

Where will I be based?
Your role will be based in one of two locations in Central Kent or London, in a hybrid office / home model.
What will a typical week look like?
Each day will start with our “pray-up”, a time of corporate prayer and thankfulness covering nations, clients, our team and the day ahead. After pray-up, all team members are engaged in client engagement following our “sales-as-ministry” model.
A typical week will include three or more days in the office with your colleagues; a weekly team meeting and 1:1 with your manager; and may include ministry training and mentoring sessions.
Depending on your role, your day-to-day work may include team-based or individual work on research, analysis, report-writing, preparing or facilitating workshops for clients in global corporations, and team collaboration to innovate and solve challenges in the power of the Holy Spirit.
Each quarter you will take part in a whole-team off-site planning session, to set goals and priorities for the quarter ahead aligned with an overarching vision to transform nations.
Who is this for?
If you are a follower of Christ who is passionate for the Kingdom of God and filled with the Holy Spirit, who wants to put your faith to work more deeply in your career, who loves nations, is humble, hungry for results (both spiritual and practical), self-aware and smart with people; if you highly value love, service and excellence, then this could be for you.
If you dream of putting your skills to work serving Jesus as part of a business ministry that sees work as worship, and every project as a ministry opportunity, then – whatever level of experience you currently have – whether you are a board-level executive or a recent graduate, we may have a place for you.
