Theology of Work The Theology of Work (TOW) grant program was established in 2007 by the Mustard Seed Foundation, in collaboration with the Bakke Graduate University of Ministry (BGU). The aim of this special grant initiative is to encourage theological institutions worldwide to instruct seminarians, pastors, and educators in a biblical basis of a theology of work. A proper theology of work empowers ordinary people to infuse their Christian faith in the institutions, structures, and industries in which they work throughout the week. We believe there is a great need for pastors to learn how to steward the gifts and callings of their congregants in their own places of work and transform them into places of dynamic personal ministry. The TOW grants program is administered by BGU, which has developed a network of resources specializing in effectively developing and teaching curriculum for theology of work. In 2007 we awarded eleven grants to eight seminaries and two organizations totaling $88,271. We expect to expand this special granting initiative significantly over the next few years and hope to see a greater number of churches actively teaching their congregants a theology of work. Theology of Work grants are awarded to theological institutions, both formal and non-formal, to create and offer courses that enable students to effectively steward the callings and vocations of their congregants in their workplaces. This grant initiative hopes to encourage seminaries and other theological training organizations to integrate such a theology in their core curriculum by promoting the development and teaching of theology of work courses. It is our desire to see those trained through our grants begin teaching and modeling this theological concept in their own churches and ministries.
