Vennture helps make work matter
Monday to Sunday

Do you find your work meaningful? Do you feel like you are able to use your God-given gifts to benefit others and promote flourishing in the world?

As a follower of Jesus, your work matters to God and has eternal Kingdom value. Work is a gift that provides an opportunity to participate in God’s redemptive work in communities and around the world.

Vennture works with churches to become vocationally formed gathering and sending communities that equip followers of Jesus for meaningful participation in God’s redemptive story through their work.

Vennture works with majority world entrepreneurs striving to lift their families towards a hope-filled future, that leads to human flourishing.

Vennture works whether you’re in a pew or a boardroom, a classroom or a clinic, a kitchen or a construction site. Your work matters!

HOW WE WORK

Vennture works in two core areas:

| LEARNING |
Theology of Work & Vocation

Through Vennture’s network of partners, we help facilitate learning opportunities for people to be spiritually formed through a biblical theology of work & vocation. Through teaching a biblical theology of work & vocation that seeks to close the sacred /secular divide, pastors, and church & marketplace leaders are discovering the potential of followers of Jesus living a seamless life where faith meets work.

 

| BUILDING |
Redemptive Business Initiatives

Through Vennture’s network of partners, we help start and/or grow social enterprises and business initiatives for redemptive impact.  In the same way, we work with entrepreneurs in majority world contexts who aim to serve their communities, be a blessing to others, and contribute to the renewing of their society/culture through business and social entrepreneurship.

Redemptive Entrepreneurship

Whether here in Canada or somewhere around the world, operating a small business is not easy and there are many challenges to overcome. In the Majority World, many aspiring entrepreneurs must overcome a lack of access to training, coaching, and financial capital to enable them to start or grow a business.

VENNTURE CONFERENCE 2026 – COMMON PLACE WORSHIP CONCERT

This year, as part of the 2026 Vennture Conference, we are excited to have Common Place Worship sharing a free evening concert.  Common Place Worship was born out of CBM and Vennture’s desire to help deepen the integral connection between work and worship.  A group of Atlantic Canadian worship leaders, artists and songwriters continue to gather for writing songs focused on faith, work, labour and service.

Whether on a job site in New Brunswick or in a co-op in El Salvador, Common Place Worship reminds us work is a form of worship and a way to participate in God’s mission.

We are pleased to be partnering with Crandall University (333 Gorge Rd. Moncton, NB) for this event.
