“Bringing Ministry to the Marketplace”


Lead Like Jesus.jpgA new business chamber is forming in Tennessee — the TN Christian Chamber of Commerce. Its mission: to support the economic and spiritual growth of its members by providing networking, professional and spiritual development and community-building opportunities to affect change and make an impact for Jesus Christ in the marketplace.

Last month, I attended the “Faith in the Boardroom” kick-off event, featuring Apprentice Finalist Roxanne Wilson, and was encouraged by the presence of several local business leaders determined to live out their faith in their professions. Roxanne and Celeste LaReau, Executive Director for the TN Christian Chamber of Commerce, shared powerful testimonies that both challenged and inspired.

The TN Christian Chamber of Commerce has a few upcoming events scheduled, including a full-day seminar developed by “The One Minute Manager” and “Lead Like Jesus” author Ken Blanchard that will take place on August 1st at Belmont University. You may e-mail Celeste (celeste@tennesseechristianchamber.org) for more information.

I am really encouraged by this initiative and look forward to learning more about the TN Christian Chamber of Commerce. As a young, Christian professional, I am challenged to be a light and make a positive impact on co-workers and clients. I recommend the book "Roaring Lambs" for more inspiration on walking the talk.
