Members of the Upper Spruce Creek Presbyterian Church are deeply committed to their work. This unusual dedication suggested the thesis that hard work directly influences members' perception of their Christian faith. Members explored this thesis through study groups which formulated a survey instrument for congregational response. The results pointed to a close relationship between members' work and their belief in Jesus Christ. Members claim to worship God through their work. This worship through work is activistic rather than pietistic. Members, particularly in the helping professions, believe their work has a direct influence upon their systems of belief.
