Business has both intrinsic and instrumental value in God’s purposes for the world. But because it can also be a tool for oppression, greed, and misuse of natural resources, its original good purposes are often overshadowed. These need to be uncovered and reclaimed. Creating Jobs believes in business for good and exists to "mentor and train entrepreneurs to grow companies, create jobs, and help communities thrive". With input from its recipients, Creating Jobs continually develops and perfects its business training curriculum and mentoring processes. They have produced a Business Training 2.0 and GrowBook resources.
