EVENT DETAILS

Tacoma Breakfast Event Friday, May 21, 2010 7:00 - 8:30 am CI Shenanigan's Tacoma      “Our Work:  Building Blocks for the New Creation” Redemptive history is moving forward in ways that might surprise and delight you.  Unfortunately, Christians in business often disconnect their present experience with the experience to come in the New Heavens and New Earth.  When we rightly connect “today” with God’s plans for the future, we find greater meaning and purpose in our work, as well as see clearly the impact we have to affect eternity in both spiritual and material ways. Our work in business really does represent the building blocks of heaven.   Come and hear how.

John Terrill, Director
Center for Integrity in Business 
Seattle Pacific University

Speaker Bio: John Terrill is the first full-time Director for the Center for Integrity in Business (CIB) at the School of Business and Economics at Seattle Pacific University.  The Center for Integrity in Business is committed to integrity in the broadest sense: moral character, justice, and personal and institutional wholeness.  We believe God desires for people and communities to flourish—spiritually, relationally, and economically—and business, when focused on serving, plays an integral role in making this happen.

Prior to joining SBE, John served as the National Director for Professional Schools Ministries with InterVarsity Christian Fellowship/USA (Madison, Wisconsin).  Prior to this role, John served with InterVarsity in Boston, Massachusetts (USA) leading student and faculty work at Harvard Business School, as well as serving as InterVarsity’s National Director for MBA Ministry.  In addition to overseeing the development of all professional schools ministries in the United States, John has also led numerous vocational missions and consulting projects to Southeast Asia and Central Africa.  

Before joining InterVarsity, John consulted with the HayGroup, an international human resources consulting firm.  In this role, John worked in both the Compensation and Organization Development practices and assisted companies in a wide range of industries.  Prior to consulting, John served with NationsBank (now Bank of America) as a real estate lender.

John holds an MBA from the Kellogg School of Management (Northwestern University) and masters degrees in Theology and Religion, respectively, from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary (South Hamilton, Massachusetts).  He enjoys international travel, hiking, photography, basketball, soccer, and issues related to the integration of faith and work, as well as economic development.  John also serves as the President for the Coalition for Ministry in Daily Life, a national guild that “connects leaders of those who connect Sunday and Monday.”
