JOIN THE MOVEMENT
People want to do business with Christians. Our DMV Christian Chamber of Commerce makes it easy to locate Christian businesses from which to purchase goods and services. With strong relationships based on shared values and beliefs, Christians can further the Kingdom as they support one another in growing their businesses and creating transformation.
- KINGDOM
Advance the Kingdom through the marketplace with the opportunity of 840 times more impact. Christian business leaders share the gospel, spoken or unspoken in every interaction with people in the marketplace. Christian leaders in the workplace have roughly 840 times more opportunities to influence the unchurched compared to the estimated 7 million nonbelievers who attend church and hear a 30-minute message from a pastor each week.
- BUSINESS
Christian business leaders impact the way the world conducts business. Faith-driven CEOs produce higher annualized shareholder returns. Christian business leaders are getting an education the rest of the world does not get through the Holy living word of God, the Bible. Kingdom Commerce means being intentional about making a Kingdom impact by strengthening Kingdom businesses across the nation. Shop, refer, and pray for Kingdom business.
- COMMUNITY
Create transformation through a multiplier effect. Exponentially increase the value of your dollar when you spend money with a Kingdom business. Doing business and sharing resources with Kingdom business owners means the dollars you spend are likely to move in parallel with shared values and beliefs that go beyond the business and flow into the churches, communities, and charities, you already support.
Create Kingdom Commerce
Experience the multiplier effect and double your Kingdom contribution. By doing business with Kingdom business owners, we are multiplying our resources.
We Are Stronger Together
We are more than just average people interacting in a beneficial way, we are Christ-following believers building relational capital that can be used to advance the Kingdom, improve lives, grow businesses, and enrich communities.
WHY A DMV CHRISTIAN CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
We Are Advancing the Kingdom Through the Marketplace serving Washington, DC, Maryland, and Virginia
- Value alignment. We want to build our businesses with people who have a similar value alignment. As Christians, we move beyond a transactional approach to business and are in service to one another. We freely talk about the goodness and grace of God in our businesses. We invite the Holy Spirit into our meetings and conversations through prayer. We lift up members in need with prayer.
- His ways are higher than our ways. Through Bible study and prayer, believers are getting an education the rest of the world does not get. We agree the Holy Living Word of God is inarguably the best book ever written on business and life. Christian Chamber meetings, topics, and speakers embody a journey rich in experience and coupled with lessons and Biblical insight. We operate in a community that openly understands the power of divine wisdom when it comes to doing business.
- Doing business from the inside out. Believers in the marketplace understand that business is transacted from the inside out. Our members are seeking greater intimacy with God. We see God as our source, not worldly possessions. Our faith-based definition of success determines where we invest our time and resources.
- Business as mission (BAM). We see business as a means to advance the Kingdom of God through the marketplace. Christian business leaders share the gospel, spoken or unspoken, in every interaction with people in the marketplace. Christian leaders in the workplace have roughly 840 times more opportunities to influence the unchurched than pastors preaching their weekly sermons.
- A parallel economy. A parallel economy. People want to do business with Christians. Our Christian Chamber directory makes it easy to locate Christian businesses to purchase goods and services. At the same time, we know there are people in this world who reject our values which can potentially cause a negative impact on businesses. We can mitigate that risk by creating awareness for buyers and sellers of goods, resources, and services to meet our business and personal needs. As Ephesians 4:16 tells us, every joint supplies.
- Create Kingdom Commerce. Experience the multiplier effect and double your Kingdom contribution. By doing business with Kingdom business owners, we are multiplying our resources. After a sale with a Kingdom business owner, that money is likely to move in alignment with our values as it relates to tithing, philanthropic giving, and supporting candidates and causes that are in alignment with Biblical views.
- Double down on social capital. We are stronger together through divine connections, referrals, and Kingdom collaboration. Collectively, we enjoy greater advocacy for issues impacting Christian businesses, power in numbers, alignment, and unity. We are more than just average people interacting in a beneficial way, we are Christ-following believers building relational capital that can be used to advance the Kingdom, improve lives, grow businesses, and enrich communities. Social capital in the Christian Chamber is equitable and resource- rich in Kingdom and divine connections.
- Make fishers of men. Through the power of a unified community, we inspire believers who have a head knowledge of Christ to develop a deeper, more meaningful relationship with the Lord. We help Christian leaders bridge the gap between Sunday and Monday by inspiring and equipping leaders to create a Kingdom culture in their workplace. In a Christian Chamber, there is a level of accountability and motivation to become a co-worker in God’s service.
