The BCBP is a community of like-minded Christian businessmen and professionals who have consciously decided to band together to bring about the transformation of the marketplace. To accomplish this vision, we aim to bring into our community men and women of significant influence in business and in the professions who together will be the instruments of Christ in the business milieu. This requires from every BCBP member an on-going personal conversion together with a commitment to the practice of Christian values in the workplace. Thus, to win the marketplace for Christ means the radical change in the value system of business to one that is based on genuine and sustainable Christ-centric business tenets of steward leadership, justice and integrity, and professional excellence.

The BCBP Way of Life is a transformative way of life, encompassing the practice of moral integrity and Christian values not only in the business milieu, but also in each member’s family life, as well as in the life of the BCBP Community.

VISION

  1. Bring Christ to the Markeplace
  2. Winning the Marketplace for Christ

Our vision has two parts, the first part focuses on evangelization. This part of our vision we try to accomplish by evangelizing businessmen and women and professionals, who are young and are on the way up, but who already occupy positions of responsibility in their companies. We evangelize through our breakfasts, the BCLP, and our basic formation program, which includes providing for new people competent and generous Action Group Leaders.

MISSION

We are a community of business people and professionals committed to living out Christian values and being change agents in the marketplace. We accomplish this through a process of on-going personal conversion, a commitment to professional excellence, community and nation building, practice of justice and integrity, and responsible care for all entrusted to us.

CORE VALUES

While all businessmen and professionals recognize the need for profit as a legitimate incentive and prerequisite for maintenance and growth, more of them have come to understand that profit alone is not an end in itself. Businessmen endowed with Christian values see business as a way to social changes by bringing to fulfillment the development of man and country, through the use of available talents and resources.

Love For God
Our highest priority is to love God. This means that the quality and strength of all our other relationships and undertakings should be founded on a deep personal relationship with the Lord. We live out this core value through a consistent prayer life, regular reading of Scripture, faithful observance of the Sacraments, and the leading of an orderly life, a life that is constantly examined, renewed and balanced in the areas of relationships (family & others), finances, intellectual development, health, and spiritual growth.

Love for Community and Country
Love for community essentially means loving our brothers and sisters in the BCBP. We show this love by being present and participating in all chapter life activities as well as community-wide gatherings. We show this love through the generous giving of our time, our talents and financial support. In all of these, we are submitted to human authority which, in faith, we know flows from the ultimate authority of our Lord.

Commitment to the Lord’s Work
We know the BCBP has the distinct task of bringing our Lord into the marketplace. We carry this out by bringing fellow businessmen and professionals into the community, by our own personal witnessing in our places of work, and taking an active part in the transformation of business organizations.
