Center for Integrity in Business

Business: Through innovative tools, training, and networks, we're building a community where businesspeople and organizations can come for the resources they need to pursue faithful service in the marketplace.
Church: The Center for Integrity in Business is a part of the broader “Faith at Work” movement in today’s church — here in Seattle and around the world — opening doors for Christians in business to discover how their daily work is a sacred calling.
Academy: By enabling and supporting high-impact research at the intersection of business, ethics, and Christian theology, the Center for Integrity in Business is equipping leaders to strengthen business for a better world.

The Center for Integrity in Business at Seattle Pacific University tackles head-on the real-life challenges faced by business leaders. We bring a distinct Christian perspective to our work, believing that biblical insight and theological understanding are essential for effective business leadership in the world today. The combination of faith and business creates a new and powerful value proposition.

Faith & Co.: Business on Purpose, our new online course and film series has had its official premiere, and it is now available to the public. Visit the Faith&Co. website, view the official trailer or all of the films, or register for the next offering of our eight week Business on Purpose instructor-led online course beginning in January 2019. "Business on Purpose reimagines (through the lens of Christian theology) business as a calling to serve the common good." See this in action through the lives of those who are putting their faith to work in the world of commerce.

Bill Pollard Faith and Business Research Fellowship. In 2017, former ServiceMaster CEO and Chairman Bill Pollard donated a vast collection of internal papers and speeches to the Work and Faith Collection at Seattle Pacific University. These documents provide unique insight into his lifelong endeavor to integrate Christian values in a diverse, multinational, publicly traded company. CIB is offering a residential research opportunity to study the integration of faith and business using the Pollard papers and other resources in the Work and Faith Collection. Three select scholars will be invited to visit the SPU campus for two weeks during the summer of 2019. Fellowship details and application.

Business You Can Believe In

The Center is both action oriented and guided by a commitment to empirical research. Drawing on theological and management scholarship, we seek transformation by creating tools, resources, and learning communities that enable businesspeople to lead with greater integrity for shaping a more just and flourishing world.
