Christian Business Owner group meeting regularly in Vernon

Unique gathering inspires, encourages and equips men and women of faith in their business leadership

Owning and operating a business of any shape or size is a unique, challenging and sometimes lonely journey that is difficult for people to grasp unless they walk in similar shoes. In Vernon, an inter-denominational group of Christian entrepreneurs, business owners, partners, and CEOs meets twice a month at the Keep In Touch Business Training Center for inspiration, encouragement and teaching on how to operate their businesses in an upright fashion according to Biblical principles.

The "East of the River" business leader group of the Fellowship of Companies for Christ International (FCCI) was formed in 1991. Over the decades, a wide mix of business leaders in retailing, wholesaling, manufacturing, accounting, law, insurance, contracting, information technology, healthcare, education, communications, automotive sales and service, management consulting, printing, counseling, and other industries have participated in the group.

The Vernon group meets on the first and third Wednesdays of the month, from 7:30 to 9 am. For more information, please contact Drew Crandall at 860.871.6500 or visit www.FCCI-NE.org.
