Faith Works initiative returns after successful pilot

Faith Works - a new Christian business networking initiative organised by a Sutton Coldfield businessman - returns on Monday 29 June.

The pilot event in April brought together local professionals keen to explore how faith and work can strengthen each another.

Created by Royal Sutton Coldfield Chamber member Neil Kearsley of Endecay Professional Development, the event is aimed at business owners, leaders, entrepreneurs, and professionals from across the region.

Neil (pictured) says the overwhelmingly positive response from the inaugural event has paved the way for this follow-up in June.

Faith Works offers a welcoming space to connect, pray and discuss practical ways to live out Christian values in the workplace.

Delegates do not need to be a Christian to attend.

Neil said: “Our April pilot showed there really is an appetite for a space where faith and business meet.

“I started Faith Works to meet this need.  It’s about strengthening community, challenging and encouraging one another and helping professionals bring their values into their work, putting faith in Jesus Christ front and centre.”

Alongside relaxed networking with other professionals, attendees at the June event will hear from Josh Daniel of ACP-UK, a charity that supports persecuted Christians.

Josh will share his experiences, having spent seven months of 2025 captive in an Afghanistan

The event takes place on Monday 29 June (9.30am to 11.30am) at Acacia Family Support, 94 The Parade, 3rd Floor, Sutton Coldfield, B72 1PH.

Tickets are priced at £5 and can be booked through Eventbrite. All proceeds are donated to ACP-UK to support their work with the persecuted church.
