UBC · Christian Business Community

Disciples in
the Marketplace.

"You are the light of the world."
— Matthew 5:14

A community for UBC business students navigating the tension between faith and ambition. You don't have to choose.

Purpose

To build virtuous, loving and responsible disciples of Christ through accountability and responsible leadership.

Mission

Create a community and network for disciples of Jesus Christ in business to be the light of the world.

Students with a heart for The Lord

Embers started with a small group of students driven by a simple conviction: faith and business don't have to be separate worlds.

We believe Jesus calls his followers into every corner of life, including the marketplace. That means the lecture halls, the case rooms, the networking events, and the boardrooms. We exist to gather those who want to answer that call together, to build each other up, stay accountable, and be the kind of people who shine wherever they're placed.

Navigating professional settings today is difficult, but we believe that we should walk with Jesus every step of the way, no matter what the world throws at us. We are not to be isolated, but have other brothers and sisters with whom we can discuss our challenges and encourage on another. That is the setting Embers seeks to create.

If you've ever felt the tension between your faith and your ambition, you're not alone. This community is for you.
