Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

In pursuit of Christ's eternal objectives, we equip and encourage business leaders to operate their businesses and conduct their personal lives in accordance with Biblical principles.

Activities or mission (Part I)

To teach Christian principles of business to business leaders.

Group Ministry & Resource Development: Organize, develop, and facilitate business leader groups, cohort groups and other similar groups. These peer type groups use resources and group meetings to facilitate discussions and encourage implementation of biblical principles in all areas of their business and personal lives that include business purpose, servant leadership, sales and marketing, financial stewardship, organizational development, business excellence, and business planning. Most groups are back to meeting in person. However, we have continued to use Zoom and other similar technology, as many groups started to meet online and a number of new groups have been started online. Our Group Leader Training program was updated again and we held multiple online training sessions and produced materials for use in business leader groups & seminars. Our website was improved and new transformational content was added. Other accomplishments in 2024 include additional updates to multiple online courses for Christian business leaders, collaboration meetings with other marketplace ministries so that we can better serve our communities, regular national prayer calls using Zoom, monthly leadership development calls hosted by our President and staff, bi-weekly e-mail training & membership updates to all our ministry members and friends.

Expenses $1,298,284 · Grants $46,711 · Revenue $83,967
Conference & Event Ministry: Conduct conferences, regional gatherings, and other training events that provide teaching, counsel, and fellowship to business leaders on applying biblical principles in every area of their lives. During 2024, we hosted our annual International Business Leaders Conference and over 20 regional, local and curated events. All were well attended and all of them were in-person gatherings. In addition to our in-person conferences and events, we are producing regular, on-line podcasts and townhall meetings which are hosted by FCCI staff members and business leaders.

Expenses $619,271 · Grants $3,000 · Revenue $379,601

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.

Schedule J, Part I, Line 1a Travel for companions: The Executive Director's spouse travels with him to the Int'l Conference and other functions where it is common that attendees or member's spouses will attend.
