Bay Area Center for Faith, Work & Tech

What Bay Area Center for Faith, Work & Tech does

The Bay Area Center for Faith, Work & Tech (DBA: Faith Work & Tech) is a non-profit, nondenominational faith ministry founded in 2024 and headquartered in Mountain View, California. It targets Christians in the San Francisco Bay Area tech ecosystem — including tech workers, founders, investors, pastors, and professional women — seeking to integrate their Christian faith with professional work. The organization frames its mission around a 'Create, Connect, Catalyze' strategy: developing new faith-and-work programs, serving as a hub for existing regional efforts, and mobilizing 'integrated disciples' toward new initiatives. It cites Silicon Valley as a culturally influential region whose decisions shape global life.

FWT's core products and services are programmatic and content-based rather than technological. Offerings include the Professional Women's Network (quarterly events, workshops, and socials), Pastor Listening Lunches across five Bay Area sub-regions, an annual Summit at the South San Francisco Convention Center with 20+ partner organizations, a Faith & Work Directory and event calendar, a blog, leader toolkits, church resources, and the 'Working Through the Bible' six-week video curriculum distributed via the disco.co platform. In 2024, the organization absorbed the archived content library of the WP313 ministry upon its founder's retirement. FWT does not develop proprietary technology; its core_platform is a Squarespace-hosted website supplemented by in-person events at partner venues (KingdomHaus coworking, Peninsula Bible Church, Sacred Space Coworking).

The organization operates a donation-based non-profit revenue model with limited event fees (e.g., a $25 chocolate tasting event). Revenue is not publicly disclosed. The 6-person team is led by co-founders Paul Taylor and Denise Lee Yohn, supported by a Communications & Engagement Manager and an Advisory Council including Dr. David W. Gill (WP313 founder) and Marie-Ange Eyoum Tagne (former Meta and Roku product leader).

Direct peers

• Faith Driven Entrepreneur: A national faith-and-work ministry specifically serving Christian entrepreneurs, founders, and investors. FWT explicitly targets the same audience segment in Silicon Valley and references 'fresh curiosity about Jesus among tech workers, founders, and investors,' making this a direct functional peer with greater scale and national reach.
• Denver Institute for Faith & Work: A faith-and-work institute operating in the Denver area with programming for working professionals, content resources, and church partnerships. Structurally similar to FWT as a regionally focused faith/work nonprofit with a multi-program strategy, though in a different metro.
• The Gospel at Work: A faith-and-work ministry producing books, resources, and community content for Christians navigating professional life. Comparable to FWT's content/resource strategy and its leader resource kits and curriculum distribution.
• Made to Flourish: A national network equipping pastors and churches for faith-and-work ministry, with the affiliated Institute for Faith and Work Engagement (IFWE). FWT's Church Resources and Pastor Listening Lunches programs overlap directly with Made to Flourish's pastor-equipping mission in the same theological tradition.
• C12 Group: A large peer-to-peer forum network for Christian CEOs and business leaders, providing structured faith-and-business integration. C12 is the most established scaled player in faith/work integration for executives and is a direct comparable to FWT's executive-and-founder audience targeting.
• Q Commons: A national events-based platform convening Christians around cultural issues, including faith and vocation. Q Commons' event-led engagement model closely mirrors FWT's annual Summit and regional gatherings approach.
• KingdomHaus: A Silicon Valley membership coworking and community space for missional founders, investors, and leaders. KingdomHaus is an FWT venue partner and serves overlapping audiences (Christian tech founders and investors), making it a directly comparable community-building peer in the same geography.
• Transforming the Bay with Christ (TBC): TBC is FWT's closest regional peer and strategic partner, pursuing broader Bay Area faith transformation. Paul Taylor and Denise Lee Yohn both hold senior roles at TBC, and the two organizations share overlapping audiences, donor bases, and events. FWT is effectively TBC's faith-and-work-focused ministry arm, making TBC the most directly comparable peer.

Emerging players

• The Oikonomia Network: A network of seminaries and graduate programs equipping pastors and ministry leaders for faith-and-work theology and practice. Overlaps with FWT's pastor-equipping and curriculum efforts, though oriented toward academic institutions.

Broad incumbents

• Biola University's Center for Christianity, Culture and the Arts: An academic center at a larger Christian university that integrates faith with professional and cultural engagement. Comparable as a faith-in-professions platform, though anchored in an academic institution rather than a standalone nonprofit.
