The idea
Work was never meant to be disconnected from worship.
Avodah (עבודה) is a Hebrew word whose biblical usage carries ideas of work, worship and service. The same root is used in Scripture for working the ground, serving others and worshipping God.
Avodah Collective exists around that integration: building meaningful things, stewarding what God has entrusted to us, serving people well and pursuing excellence — without separating business from faith.
Who it’s for
For people building something — and following Someone.
- Founders
- Entrepreneurs
- Business owners
- Creators
- Operators
- Builders
But the deeper qualification isn’t a job title. Members are people who:
- Follow Christ.
- Take their work seriously.
- Want genuine relationships with other Christian builders.
- Value generosity over transactional networking.
- Want their faith to shape how they build, lead and serve.
What happens inside
A table, not a stage.
Simple by design. The value is in the people and the conversations, not a crowded calendar.
Community
Private conversations with other Christian entrepreneurs and builders — honest, practical and unhurried.
Relationships
Genuine friendships and professional relationships that go well beyond a swapped business card.
Gatherings
Online and in-person gatherings, growing naturally as the community does.
Collaboration
Ideas, resources, experience, introductions and opportunities, shared freely.
Faith & Work
Serious conversation about building, leadership, stewardship, calling and faithfulness.
“Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord.”
Colossians 3:23
Our culture
Not another networking group.
Avodah Collective isn’t about collecting contacts. We want:
- Depth over reach
- Relationships over transactions
- Stewardship over status
- Excellence without ego
- Faith that actually affects how we work
Origin
Founded by Tiye Martin
