New workspace is for Christian ministries, nonprofits, and faith-based enterprises
CINCINNATI, June 20, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- At Work On Purpose (AWOP), a pioneer in the workplace ministry movement, has announced the grand opening of The Loft, an office space in Blue Ash, Ohio, for Christian ministries, nonprofits, and faith-based enterprises.
AWOP will serve as the anchor tenant for The Loft, and there will be five additional offices available to other faith-based enterprises. Located at 4225 Malsbary Road, The Loft offers affordable workspace to the ministries and organizations occupying the space. AWOP Founder and President Chuck Proudfit explained that this initiative aims to empower tenant organizations to have a greater Kingdom impact by providing them with the necessary resources and environment for growth and service. "The Loft will be a first-class office space that both supports productivity and inspires creativity," said Proudfit.
The Loft draws its name from the origins of Proudfit's consultancy, SKILLSOURCE, which began in a loft bedroom more than two decades ago—a space where Proudfit could dream about possibilities. The concept for The Loft materialized when Proudfit and Joseph Bakhit, the property owner, envisioned creating a welcoming, community-oriented office space that had a Christian spirit of service. The Loft is one of many AWOP initiatives to bring the Christian spirit of service to workplaces across the city, and beyond. Additionally, The Loft is inspired by The Hope Center, a shared workspace for Christian nonprofits in Dallas, Texas, which serves as a model for fostering a collaborative environment for Kingdom entrepreneurs.
The Loft features large windows with beautiful views and abundant natural light. Amenities include: on-site, free and convenient parking; WiFi; private, break-out meeting rooms; a conference room which is fully equipped for virtual meetings; unique huddle spaces for collaboration; independent workstations; shared kitchen space; and access to adjacent coworking spaces.
The Christian ministries and enterprises calling The Loft "home" will have community, and they will also have affordable office space, all of which is part of what makes The Loft another BIZNISTRY itself, explained Proudfit. Proudfit coined the term BIZNISTRY to describe an organization that merges business and ministry, serving both economic and spiritual purposes. A BIZNISTRY integrates ministry into its day-to day operations, aims to be self-sustaining, and dedicates resources and profits to further faith-based initiatives that positively impact the world. The Loft is an example of such a BIZNISTRY, again making the space unique in Cincinnati. "It's economically generative, and on the ministry side, it creates this unique community environment for faith-based individuals in the workplace," explained Proudfit.
