About Calling 

Dr. Martin Luther's doctrine of vocation emphasized that the paid and unpaid labor of people in all walks of life is known as “the Mask of God,” through which He works out His kingdom’s plan.

History

The first meeting attracted six people. It was held at Concordia Lutheran Church in Lakewood, Colorado in April, 2008. Meetings were soon moved to the Chapel Coffee House near Bethlehem Lutheran Church, where coffee and treats were available for attendees. As the months progressed, membership grew and meetings that had been geared toward planning began to transition into sharing business information, speaker presentations, and extended networking time.

Events in the twenty-first century indicate a need for business leaders to cultivate ethical business practices based on Biblical principles. This is a particularly intense calling for Christian business owners and operators, when it is compounded by their baptismal call to share God’s message of grace.

Lutheran Entrepreneurs embrace the threefold vision that includes:

1. Witness - apply our faith beyond Sunday worship by living and working as Christians and being open to opportunities to share the Gospel.

2. Model - as Christian mentors, we influence future generations of business leaders with Biblical principles for the workplace.

3. Inspire - celebrate success and encourage Christian business colleagues to operate their businesses on an elevated level of integrity.

We pray that our businesses, in God's hands, are less for our gain than for His glory.

Plans for the future:

As the organization grows, we will build relationships with colleges and high schools to provide internship opportunities for students with business aspirations. We will also create a scholarship fund for Christian business students.

Founder and President:

Good will come to him who is generous and lends freely, who conducts his affairs with justice. Psalm 112:5
