ON DEMAND VIDEO EDUCATION

FOR EVERY STAGE OF BUSINESS

There is no shortage of information on how to succeed in business. The problem is, the insight is typically rooted in worldly thinking - far away from the heart of God. At CBF you'll get Biblically-based, CEO-level education from vetted thought leaders. Every session is prayerfully crafted to align you and your business to God's purpose for business.

You'll be challenged to look at your company, your strategy, your customer and your competition in ways you never have before - and make improvements that create breakthrough results.

Heading Encourage

ATTAIN WISE COUNSEL

FOR YOUR STRATEGIC DECISIONS

Every day you are faced with opportunities, decisions, and challenges. Some decisions are easy to make. Many require wisdom and discernment no one person possesses.

CBF's greatest value to you is in providing you with a seat at a CAB (Christian Advisory Board). This is where members experience Christ-centered business leadership community.

THE CHRISTIAN BUSINESS ROUND TABLE YOU'VE BEEN LONGING FOR

THE CHRISTIAN ADVISORY BOARD

A CAB is a group of people who lead or own a business, and are committed to work on their leadership skills with as much or more intentionality as the business’ other demands.

While sales, marketing, administration, strategy, and accounting are all critical to a business, if the leader is not growing the odds are stacked against the business’ future solvency and prosperity.

The CAB experience only works when its members are committed to consistently active participation. While it is understood that business and family obligations contribute to schedule challenges, CAB members are expected to prioritize monthly CBF and CAB meetings.

CBF Round Table

CAB CULTURE

(The Christian Advisory Board)

MONTHLY CHAPTER MEETINGS

Have a consistent connection with your trusted advisors.

PROCESS BUSINESS ISSUES

Process your most complex business issues, opportunities and situations within a confidential, Bible-believing peer group.

STRATEGIC INPUT

As you gain new knowledge from our educational platform, your CAB leader and members will help you apply it to your situation.

AUTHENTIC COMMUNITY

From casual mid-month meetups over coffee, to rich times of 1-on-1, CAB culture expands past the monthly meeting to deliver value all month long.

PARTICIPATION

For CABs to achieve maximum impact, there has to be a rich exchange between the members. While scheduling conflicts may arise, members are expected to prioritize CBF meetings and events. Our members know that satisfaction comes from giving as well as receiving.

CBF chapters typically host one or two social events every year, where our local leaders create wholesome experiences to get CBF families together for fun and fellowship.

PRAYER

We believe in the power of prayer. When our members are enduring a hardship or celebrating a victory, the community is there to lift them up in prayer.

ACTIVITY WITH PURPOSE

LEADS TO FULFILLMENT

Do you know why you do what you do? CBF is here to guide you to the answer. Leaders who work from a true sense of purpose have a virtually limitless supply of energy and strength because they are always “on mission.”

Once you discover the answer God has for you, you'll find a virtually limitless supply of strength, wisdom and energy to build your business - because you'll be on mission - seeing your business through God's eyes.

Growing-Gods-Business

A UNIQUE CALLING

It’s easy to daydream about a time in the future when you will have ample money to give to foreign missions or time to devote to hands-on ministry. But what might God be calling you to right now, today?

CBF will remind you that you only need to look outside your front door, or up over your computer screen, to see a world in need. You will meet people who have grown their capacity to serve others while building a business and maintaining a balanced lifestyle – testimonies to God’s promise to sustain those whom He has called.

Christian Business Fellowship (CBF) was created as a mutually-beneficial forum for business leaders. At CBF, you will learn from business experts, counsel with wise business leaders, and share your valuable business experience.

JOE D'ALESSANDRO

FOUNDER/CEO, STRATEGIC HOSPITALITY SEARCH

Starting over on a number of occasions from running his own restaurant to building a hospitality recruiting agency, Joe was craving a breakthrough. With a timely invitation from a trusted friend, he attended a meeting that would transform everything.

THE PRAYER OF A BUSINESS LEADER

I asked God for success that I might prosper.
I was given enough so that I stayed dependent.

I asked God for helpers that I might expand in business
I was given employees so that I might learn to trust.

I asked God for balance so that I might have time for my family.
I was given the ability to choose so that I could set priority.

I asked God for larger profit margins to expand His kingdom.
He gave me His grace and said it was enough.

I asked God for influence that I might lead others.
He gave me rest so that I could be still.

I asked God for power that I might do great things.
He gave me weakness so that I would ask for help.

I asked God for friendships to share my struggles.
He gave me His presence so that I would never be alone.

I searched for a better product.
He searched for me.

I asked God for victory over my sin.
He gave me His son and called it finished.

I asked God to use my life.
He said to follow His.

I asked God for a legacy.
He showed me His Glory.

I among business leaders am richly blessed.

An excerpt from the CBF's workbook, BUSINESS SHIFT

Romans 1136

Romans 11:36 defines our purpose.
From Him: All that we have comes from The Lord.
Through Him: All that we do is by His power.
To Him: Everything we accomplish is for God’s glory.

Discover the rich resources and trusted community you've been longing for.

Leaders often find themselves in situations when they have to make critical decisions without proper counsel and accountability.

Sometimes it is just not prudent to ask advice of superiors or peers and trade organizations aren’t always the answer. Your friends and family don’t know first-hand the cultural climate at work and usually cannot identify with your issues.

Our small communities of leaders of similar-sized organizations provide you a vibrant peer group. We call them Christian Advisory Boards, or CABs. CAB members enjoy enriching give-and-take; learning while sharing and encouraging each other to accelerate success. CABs also provide something prized by leaders but rare in the marketplace: accountability.
