APC has a strong emphasis on equipping working professionals to live out their faith and have an impact in the workplace and influence others for God's Kingdom. Believers in the marketplace are on the frontlines for Kingdom advancement and hence need all the equipping and empowering available. We encourage believers to find and take their place as agents of transformation on the seven mountains of society (Business, Education, Government, Media, Art/Entertainment, Family, Religion). We encourage believers to walk in the anointing of God, expect miracles, demonstrate the work of the Spirit and display God's glory in the marketplace.
In addition to discipling workplace professionals in their Christian life, workplace witness and involvement in missions, there are other important areas, professionals at APC are working towards: (A) Helping mentor younger workplace professionals at APC, especially those who are venturing out into entrepreneurship, women entrepreneurs, those starting social/Christian organizations (B) Reaching professionals in Bangalore city with the Gospel (C) Being involved in urban church planting in cities across India (planting churches that reach professionals) (D) Engaging in Christian missions: education sponsorship and small-business development to support church plants in small towns and rural settings.

God instituted work even before He instituted marriage. Work is a God-ordained activity. In this introductory message, discover some of the basics on God’s design for the marketplace—the right perspectives and right attitudes—we as believers must have towards our role in the marketplace.
Right Motivation for the Marketplace
In this message we deal with a very important and challenging topic of motivation in the marketplace. How do I manage and maintain right motives as I seek to be a successful professional? How do I develop a passion for excellence and wealth creation without selling out to the god of mammon (money)? Discover Biblical answers as you listen...
God's Anointing for You in the Marketplace
There is an anointing for every God-ordained activity. Since God instituted work, there is an anointing for every believer in the workplace. Discover some of the results of God's anointing in the workplace: in releasing skill and talent; bringing supernatural wisdom to solve problems, or plan for the unforeseen; enabling us to go beyond ourselves; bringing supernatural efficiency and productivity; releases God's creativity; causing marketplace miracles; and destroying demonic yokes and burdens in the marketplace. Be challenged to use your spiritual gifts to transform your workplace.
Timeless Principles for the Marketplace
There are many Biblical principles that we can apply to the Marketplace. In this message we look at the following: Treating Employees and Direct-Reports, People & Relationships, Career Growth, Corporate Finance; and Work Habits. The challenge is to live by the timeless truth of God's Word in the marketplace, where right and wrong is often considered relative or even irrelevant.
