Yes. We believe running a business is a calling from God, and that how you run it matters to him. You don’t need to be a theologian to attend, but faith in Christ is at the centre of every session.

Yes. The conference is for anyone who shapes a business: owners and leaders, investors and advisors, professionals with influence inside a company, and students or aspiring entrepreneurs planning to build one. What matters isn’t your title. It’s whether you’ll put what you learn to work in a real business, now or soon.

We talk about how faith shows up in the way a company is actually run, in the decisions you make on a Tuesday. Expect practitioners sharing what they’ve built, working sessions on real decisions, and plain talk about the whole business: how the people are doing, whether the money is sound, whether promises are kept, what happens to what you use, and whether anyone can tell what you believe.

A way to look at capital, counsel and governance through the lens of business as mission: how to back commercially sound businesses with a clear Kingdom purpose, and how to recognise one. You’ll meet founders worth knowing and peers asking the same questions.

Yes. Most people’s influence runs through the teams, projects and decisions they touch rather than through ownership. The working sessions are built so you can bring a decision at your level and work it through.

No. Every business makes trade-offs, has bad quarters and gets things wrong. What matters is the direction its people are pulling, and whether they’re honest when they slip. A company can be losing money and still be business as mission. A company can be very profitable and not be.
