Dr. Svetlana Papazov is a wife, mother, pastor, entrepreneur, educator and executive coach. Pulling from her diverse experience in small business, academia and ministry, she founded and pastors Real Life Church, a marketplace church that integrates faith and entrepreneurship. She has written for well-known magazines such as Enrichment Journal, Leading Hearts, Vital Words and more.
What excites Svetlana the most is unleashing human potential and having a front row seat in the development of influencers. That is why she has intentionally transitioned from a life of a business owner of multiple enterprises to a life of an equipper of leaders. In 2016, she founded Real Life Church (www.RealLifeChurchRVA.org) and Real Life Center for Entrepreneurial and Leadership Excellence (www.RealLifeRVA.com), a first of its kind model of church and business incubator that connects faith and entrepreneurship. Her passion is whole-life discipleship, and she deeply cares about the holistic development of communities to shape world influencers and work toward culture transformation.

“Church for Monday” Book launch at AWSA Conference and Christian Product Expo 2019 (Murfreesboro, TN)
“I believe, the future church will be high-touch, experience focused, and Spirit-evident small congregations that grow from conversions, not church transfers. Its clergy will be co-vocational and willing to equip believers for their lives on Monday. It will be embedded in the marketplace, dual-using their facilities for their own sustainability and the flourishing of the local economy. ”
The book Church for Monday is available for pre-order at your favorite local bookstore and online!
