01The idea
Work was never meant to be disconnected from worship.
Avodah (עבודה) is a Hebrew word whose biblical usage carries ideas of work, worship and service. The same root is used in Scripture for working the ground, serving others and worshipping God.
Avodah Collective exists around that integration: building meaningful things, stewarding what God has entrusted to us, serving people well and pursuing excellence without separating business from faith.
02Who it’s for
For people building faithfully and following Christ.
- Founders
- Entrepreneurs
- Business owners
- Creators
- Operators
- Builders
But the deeper qualification isn’t a job title. Members are people who:
- Follow Christ.
- Take their work seriously.
- Want genuine relationships with other Christian builders.
- Value generosity over transactional networking.
- Want their faith to shape how they build, lead and serve.
03What happens inside
A table, not a stage.
Simple by design. The value is in the people and the conversations, not a crowded calendar.
Community
Honest, practical and unhurried private conversations with other Christian entrepreneurs and builders.
Relationships
Genuine friendships and professional relationships that go well beyond a swapped business card.

04Community
Built to serve one another.
We believe the people around us are often one of the greatest resources God has given us.
Avodah Collective brings together people with different experiences, skills and resources who share a desire to build meaningful things and help others do the same.
Whether it's sharing knowledge, making an introduction, offering a service or helping someone navigate a challenge, we want to cultivate a community where people actively contribute to one another's growth.
05Our culture
Not another networking group.
Avodah Collective isn’t about collecting contacts. We want:
- Depth over reach
- Relationships over transactions
- Stewardship over status
- Excellence without ego
- Faith that actually affects how we work
06Origin
Founded by Tiye Martin
Avodah Collective was started by entrepreneur Tiye Martin to create the kind of community he wanted around him: Christian builders who care deeply about their faith, their work, their families and the people they serve.
