Faith In Their Work

When hiring, McDougan says, Lifeway conducts extensive background checks looking not just for skilled printers but for people with a strong desire to work for Lifeway.

"If they don't feel like they've been called here, then they won't help us fulfill our mission," he explains.

Sharing The Faith

This belief that employees should have strong religious convictions is shared by churches of other faiths, as well. In Salt Lake City, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints requires all 500 employees in its printing and distribution center to be worthy members of the Church.
