Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead. – James 2:17
This premier event encourages Christian professionals in the Greater Boston Area and beyond to deepen their faith in Christ within their respective industries. Our focus spans various sectors: Entrepreneurship, Marketing, Finance, Technology, Arts and Entertainment, Healthcare, Life Sciences, Education, and Business.
These sectors drive our economy, but as Christians, we know the ultimate glory belongs to the Kingdom of God.
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. – Hebrews 11:1
FaithWorks aims to deliver impactful programming that strengthens connections within the Christian professional community in Greater Boston and beyond. Our attendees will benefit from unique opportunities to network and engage with an untapped network of Christian professionals and entrepreneurs. Our first premiere conference is on Saturday, April 26, 2025, which will be a catalyst for a network of powerful industry experts.

The Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to work it and keep it. – Genesis 2:15
Mission: FaithWorks is committed to empowering young, diverse industry professionals to understand that faith INDEED works. Together, we gain perspective, foster meaningful connections, gather valuable resources, and receive support and discipleship to navigate our Christian faith in today’s marketplace.
Looking Back to Move Forward: Stories from the Boston Sankofa Journey
Join us as our Boston Sankofa Journey members reflect on nine months of exploring Boston’s historical landmarks tied to the legacy of slavery, the Black freedom movement, and the role of churches in both supporting and resisting slavery. Through personal stories and creative storytelling, they will share transformative moments and how they are carrying these experiences forward.
This event invites you to engage in a journey of truth-telling, healing, and justice, connecting our narratives to Boston’s local history. Recognizing that many other leaders are engaged in similar work within their institutions, we’ll also open a dialogue on how we might strengthen the collective movement toward racial equity, justice and repair in our city.
This gathering will take place at the Historic Myrtle Baptist Church, a hub for social justice and civil rights advocacy and a cornerstone of Newton’s African American community. You are welcome to come early to explore the physical displays where they have catalogued their history.
Sankofa, a Ghanaian term meaning “to learn from the past to inform the future,” inspires this journey. Come listen, share, and be part of this meaningful conversation and action-taking at this influential moment in our city and country.
