Chapters

May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you a spirit of unity among yourselves as you follow Christ Jesus, so that with one heart and mouth you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ." (Romans 15: 5-6)

Every week, hundreds of men and women meet throughout the country to learn, encourage and pray with one another to be Christ in their workplaces. These Christians in Commerce meetings occur in private rooms in restaurants, hotels, offices, church buildings, boardrooms - whatever is convenient for the group.

Christians in Commerce is designed to allow the efforts to be adapted for the local needs, while providing a core structure that has been proven over time in a variety of situations. The goal is to allow the organization to fit itself to what the Lord is doing locally.

The Meeting Format

These meetings are on a weekly basis and are in the form of Chapter Meetings, Challenge Groups, or a combination of both. These groups can be a form of outreach and participants are encouraged to invite colleagues and acquaintances. Meetings are generally one hour.

Chapter meetings open with prayer and worship followed by ten-minute talk by one of the members based on the weekly reflection from the Challenge Newsletter. A group discussion is held for the majority of the time together, followed by prayer requests and a Challenge for the coming week. The Challenge Group meetings are smaller gatherings of four to six individuals and generally follow a similar format.
