Building great businesses for a greater purpose.

The C12 Group is not another business-centric Bible study or a professional networking group. It's also not a guest speaker forum or business solicitation platform.

It’s an objective Peer Advisory Group for like minded business leaders to share ideas and best practices, focusing on areas to sharpen in their business, and lives.

In a confidential, non-competing C12 Peer Advisory Group experience, members learn from their group’s wisdom and insight. By sharing with those who have "been there", they encourage and hold each other accountable to the biblical principles and core values that guide them. Our mission is to change the world by advancing the Kingdom of God in the marketplace through the companies and lives of those Christ calls to run businesses for Him.
