Mission statement
Statement of faith
We believe that there is one God, eternally existing as three persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
We believe that the Bible is God's written revelation to man, and that it is verbally inspired, authoritative and without error in the original manuscripts.
We believe in the deity of Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, sinless life, miracles, death on the cross to provide for our redemption, bodily resurrection, and ascension into heaven, present ministry of intercession for us, and His return to earth in power and glory.
We believe in the personality and deity of the Holy Spirit, that He performs the miracle of the new birth in unbelievers and indwells believers, enabling them to live godly lives.
We believe that man was created in the image of God, but because of sin, was alienated from God. Only through faith, trusting in Christ alone for salvation, which was made possible by His death and resurrection, can that alienation be removed.

History
Truth At Work was founded in 1998 as a small handful of business leaders saw a need to equip, inspire, and encourage Christians in the marketplace. Since then, Truth At Work chapters have sprung up all across the country, reaching thousands of people and connecting them to a community of like-minded peers.
