Christian Business Networks

Christian business networks are fellowships and peer groups that help believers integrate their faith with their work, owners, executives, and professionals meeting to encourage one another, seek counsel, and run their companies with integrity and generosity. Some are peer-advisory groups for chief executives, some are broad ministries, some are movements around ideas like faith-driven entrepreneurship. They answer a simple question: what does it mean to follow Jesus on Monday morning.

What these networks do

They gather Christians in business for fellowship, accountability, prayer, mentoring, and practical counsel, so that faith shapes how a company is led, how employees are treated, and how profit is used.

Real organizations here

The organizations below are named for information, not endorsement. The Living Bread is not affiliated with them, does not vouch for every view they hold, and encourages you to verify anything that matters directly with the source.

• CBMC (Christian Business Men's Connection), a long-established ministry to men in business, with small groups and marketplace outreach.
• C12 and Convene, which run peer-advisory groups for Christian chief executives and business owners.
• FCCI / Christ@Work (Fellowship of Companies for Christ International), which helps company leaders operate their businesses on biblical principles.

They differ in kind: peer-advisory groups (C12, Convene) are structured, dues-based CEO forums; fellowships (CBMC, FCCI) are broader ministries; and Faith Driven is more a content-and-community movement. Most are broadly evangelical and interdenominational.

How this connects to Christ

The New Testament dignifies ordinary work by telling believers to do it as unto the Lord. These networks take that seriously: they treat a business not as a place faith is left at the door but as a field where Christ is served, through honesty, through care for people, and through generosity with what is earned.
