To impact leaders at every level

What if we were able to reach business leaders throughout the world?

From the seasoned entrepreneur to the corporate executive, to the start-up small business - what would happen if Christian Business Owners were all connected? Can you imagine what God can do in the lives of individuals, families, communities, cities, and even countries?

We believe God is clearly moving among business leaders. CBF is the result of our obedience to Him, in creating a channel in which He can easily work - one in which He can use to impact the world.

STATEMENT OF FAITH

DOCTRINE OF GOD

There is only one true God. He exists eternally as three persons — Father, Son, and Holy Spirit — each fully God yet each personally distinct from the other. God is the creator of everything.

DOCTRINE OF CHRIST

Jesus Christ, the second Person of the Trinity, was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary — he was God in human flesh. He lived a sinless human life, yet willingly took upon himself our sins by dying in our place and on our behalf. He rose bodily, victorious over death. He ascended to Heaven and is at the right hand of the Father as the believer’s advocate and mediator. Someday, he will return to consummate history and to fulfill the eternal plan of God.

DOCTRINE OF THE SPIRIT

The Holy Spirit, the third Person of the Trinity, convicts the world of sin and gives new life to those who trust in Jesus. He indwells all believers and is available to empower them to lead Christ-like lives. The Spirit gives them spiritual gifts with which to serve fellow believers and reach out to a lost and needy world.

DOCTRINE OF SCRIPTURE

The Bible is God’s unique revelation to mankind, the inspired, infallible Word of God. As such, it is the supreme and final authority and without error in what it teaches and affirms. No other writings are vested with such divine authority.

DOCTRINE OF THE CHURCH

All believers are members of the body of Christ, the one true church universal. Spiritual unity is to be expressed among Christians by acceptance and love of one another across ethnic, cultural, socio-economic, national, generational, gender, and denominational lines. The local church is a group of believers who gather for worship, prayer, instruction, encouragement, mutual accountability, community with each other, and as a witness to the world.

DOCTRINE OF SIN

Everyone, regardless of race, gender, social class, or intellectual ability, is created in God’s image and for communion with God. But because of sin, that communion was broken and all of humanity was separated from God, the source of all life. Because of the fall, everyone deserves God’s judgment.

DOCTRINE OF JUDGEMENT

At the final judgment, unbelievers will be separated from God into condemnation. Believers will be received into God’s loving presence.

DOCTRINE OF SALVATION

Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth, and the Life, and God gives salvation and eternal life to those who trust in him. Salvation cannot be earned through personal goodness or human effort. It is a gift that is received by repentance, faith in Christ, his death on the cross, resurrection from the grave and testified through baptism.

OUR CREED

The way in which CBF applies truth to business will be as follows:

CBF CORE VALUES

Christ is our Cornerstone and our Strength

Lasting Foundations are Built on Him. We trust that He will lead us in our work, to glorify Him.

1 Corinthians 3:11 For no one can lay a foundation other than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

God-Infused Teaching

All Truth is God’s truth. We embrace God’s word as the foundation for business.

Psalm 86:11 – Teach me your way, O Lord, that I may walk in your truth; unite my heart to fear your name.

Purpose-Filled Leadership

Our clarity of purpose guides our passion which drives our actions with those to whom we are entrusted.

Acts 13:36 When David had served the purpose of God, he fell asleep.

Aspire to Inspire

We strive for excellence in attitude and action, which spurs one another on to be our personal best.

1 Thessalonians 5:11 Therefore encourage one-another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.

We not Me

Unity is seen in the laying down of our personal preferences for what is best for all.

Philippians 2:3-4 Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interest, but also to the interest of others.

Be Coachable, Humble and Patient

Leaders are Learners and realize they never “arrive.”

Proverbs 9:9 Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be still wiser; teach a righteous man and he will increase in learning.

Action over Apathy

Today’s actions matter. Our actions today are the building blocks of tomorrow.

John 1:22-27 – ‘Be doers of the Word and not hearers only’
