Business on Mission Roanoke/NRV
About Us
Leveraging our Workplace for God's Glory
As a Christian in the business community, you have a unique opportunity for ministry – your workplace! God has placed you this platform to impact the lives of your employees, vendors, customers and through them, the world. Join us as we learn to use our roles in the business realm for His glory.
Why Business on Mission?
We were inspired by the Business on Mission conference, which was first held in Lynchburg in 2016. To continue exploring how to live out our faith in the workplace, a few conference attendees from Roanoke, representing several area churches, joined forces to organize local breakfasts for Christian business leaders.
Business on Mission is a grassroots, volunteer-led initiative to bring together fellow business leaders to explore how furthering God's Kingdom through our professions.
Breakfast meetings are hosted throughout the year, where we hear from Christian business leaders about how they are integrating their faith with business through their company culture, operations and day-to-day activities. Each meeting seeks to impart encouragement, inspiration and practical steps to live out our faith in the workplace.
