Business as Mission (BAM) is one of the most powerful ways churches can engage with their communities. But how do you get started? Here are the first steps to implementing Business as Mission in your church.
1. Educate Your Congregation: Explain what Business as Mission is and how it aligns with the Great Commission. Share stories of how businesses can be used as platforms for evangelism and discipleship.
2. Identify Business Owners: Reach out to entrepreneurs in your congregation who may already be involved in marketplace ministries and encourage them to explore how their business can serve a Kingdom purpose.
3. Create a Support System: Form a team or small group dedicated to helping business owners and Kingdom entrepreneurs develop their ideas and connect them to mission.
Business as Mission is an incredible opportunity for churches to extend their reach into the community. By starting small and building support, your church can begin to see BAM’s impact on transforming lives and communities.
