The Palmer Building
2601 East 7th Street, Charlotte, NC
Hosted by Charlotte Institute for Faith & Work

February 22, 2025 • 9 am - 1pm


The world needs who God made you to be. 

Rich discipleship resources exist for women to develop their biblical knowledge, spiritual lives, and relational roles, but few speak to the significant impact women have in their workplaces and communities.

 You are cordially invited to this unique gathering to:

  • Engage authentically with women from churches, communities, and industries across the city of Charlotte. 

  • Hear from a different kind of “influencer,” keynote speakers and a panel of local women working across industries. 

  • Cultivate a renewed imagination for work. 

  • Expand your network of like-minded women. 

Why?  When women work faithfully, the world will experience Gospel hope and life. 

Who should attend?  Women who want to grow in their understanding of God's purpose and design for their work while pursuing holistic living with Kingdom impact.  



Joanna Meyer is the Founder and Executive Director of Women, Work, & Calling, an international movement to equip Christian women for Kingdom influence in public life.






Denise Lee Yohn is the Co-Founder & Co-Executive Director of the Bay Area Center for Faith, Work & Tech, as well as a corporate keynote speaker, consultant, and writer on brand leadership.

Navigating Work.

On October 8, CIFW partnered with Charlotte Christian School to present Michaela O'Donnell, Executive Director of Fuller Seminary's Max De Pree Center for Leadership and the author of Life in Flux: Navigational Skills to Guide and Ground You in an Ever-Changing World  and Make Work Matter: Your Guide to Meaningful Work in a Changing World

We discussed what it looks like to flourish as leaders amidst the backdrop of this world. Michaela shared that "Calling is dynamic, not static and we are: 

Called to BELONG to God.
Called to CREATE with God.
Called to PARTICIPATE in God’s mission of redemption."

Your Work Matters.

Whether you spend your days leading a corporation, working in a small business, or serving as a room parent in your child's school, YOUR WORK MATTERS! Too often, we have a limited view of what God designed work to be and how it can be used to care for His creation. 

On November 14, keynote speaker Robin John, co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of Eventide shared a powerful testimony of reimagining work.

Reimagining Work.

On March 24, 2021, CIFW hosted an evening of worship, teaching, and community, designed to reconnect our faith with our everyday work. Guest speaker, Dr. Matthew Kaemingk, challenged attendees with concepts from his book, Work & Worship: Reconnecting our Labor and Liturgy.
