Discovering God's purpose for Monday through Saturday.
November 6 & 7, 2026
Wellspring Church
Faith isn't just for Sundays. God has called us to follow Him in every part of life — including our work and the places where we spend most of our week.
Whether you're in an office, a classroom, a trade, at home, retired, or volunteering, your everyday life is where God is at work.
Monday matters because God is already there.

Session: Living Your Legacy Now
Imagine at the end of your life, what do you truly want to be remembered by? Is it your thirst for results, or your love for people, or somewhere in between? How do you approach each day and week with a Kingdom perspective, and still produce the results/expectations that are required to be successful in your job? These are the challenges each Christian faces each day when engaging with everyone and every situation coming at them at work.
David will discuss HOW to live your legacy each day. How do you want to be remembered both now and forever - first by GOD and then by others.
Breakout Session #2:
Lawyer and Professor of Politics at Redeemer
Session: How the Bible Profoundly Improved English Law: An Untold Story in Canadian Law Schools
To help us understand how to live faithfully in the present, we'll look back and see how the Bible impacted the development of the English common-law tradition for the better. Starting already in the 9th Century AD, see how faith inspired lawyers, judges, kings and politicians to positively shape law for the common good.
Director of Launch & Vocation at Intervarsity
Session: Bringing Our Work Into Our Worship
Being a Christian in everyday life is not just about bringing our faith to work, it includes bringing our life outside of Sunday into church. This session will explore some of the ways that the regular work of God's people can be integrated into gathered worship, and how it needs to be integrated if we are to fully bridge the gap between Sunday and the rest of the week.
Community Worker and Associate Professor of Social Work at Redeemer
Session: From Conflict to Conversation: How to Navigate Contentious Differences
We live in an increasingly diverse society and when it comes to especially contentious areas of difference, it can be difficult to know how to engage. This session seeks to equip you with tools and a posture to go through all areas of life as a faithful ambassador of Christ.
