Bring A Godly Influence to Your Field

For virtue to guide a society, those in positions of influence must value and promote it themselves. When that happens, society tends to follow suit. Transformation will require that Christians in an array of culturally strategic fields develop a vision and commitment to leverage their God-given gifts, training, and positioning to bless society.

Consider your circles of influence. Whether it is academia, arts and entertainment, education, finance, government, law, technology, media, or other field, you have the opportunity to bring your faith to bear in ways that can transform your industry and bless society.

Christian Union Cities helps professionals grow into a network of godly influencers in strategic cities. It is currently active in New York City.
