Kingdom Business
Regional Summit
Akron
Wednesday, May 6 · 12:30 – 4 pm EDT.
The Bank at the East End, 1201 E Market St, Akron, OH 44305
Faith in Action
Event Overview
Many kingdom-oriented leaders sense there is more to business than making money
or the sprinkling of evangelism — yet they often lack the tools and systems to integrate
Biblical principles directly into the culture and daily operations of their organizations.
The Kingdom Business Regional Summit is a half-day, hands-on experience
designed to be a journey toward holistic Kingdom alignment, where Biblical
principles are built into the DNA of your organization, decision making, and the fabric of
your culture. It is an opportunity to move from conversation into action.
Hear from The Good Place Institute and other leaders experiencing the Good Place
Operating System (GPOS) Kingdom integration.
Faith.
Rooted in Biblical principles that guide
every decision.
Leaders.
Equipping and empowering leaders to
build Kingdom-aligned organizations.
Action.
Turning vision into real-world
strategies that transform communities.
