Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do you know that members are Christians?
1) We try to advertise solely within the Christian Community. Our members are obtained through:
>Referrals from current Christian Business Networking members
>Christian Radio Stations
>Christian Directories and Newspapers
>Flyers at Christian bookstores
2) Each Christian Business Networking member has read and signed our statement of faith.

Q: Can anyone join a chapter?
A: We only take one person per profession. For example, if you are an accountant and we already have one, we can refer you to another chapter, or allow you to open another chapter.

Q: Are there any fees to join?
A: There are reasonably priced annual dues to join a Christian Business Networking Chapter. Chapter facilitators collect the payment of dues with the application.

Q: What is the process of joining?
A: For the kickoff meetings, we encourage you to attend as a free networking opportunity. Please notify us of which kickoff you plan on attending so we can plan for ample seating. For subsequent meetings, please contact us regarding the chapter you wish to join. We will then check with that chapter facilitator to see if your professional category is vacant in that chapter. If it is, you are welcome to attend as a visitor, fill in the application form for the membership committee to review, and you will be contacted before the next meeting regarding the status of your application.

Q: What if a member gets a referral and does poor work?
A: We have an ethics committee and it is imperative that anyone who gives a lead and finds out it was not satisfactorily handled must report that to the chapter facilitator, who will pass it along for investigation.

Q: What occupations benefit the most from networking?
A: It's not the occupations in particular that do well, it's the participation of the individual that determines the success of the group.

Q: Are members supposed to bring visitors?
A: You're encouraged to bring visitors for those occupations that are open. It's basically a closed meeting except for potential members.
