Guidelines for Building a Christian Business

For Christian professionals, entrepreneurs, and business executives, living one’s Christianity in the marketplace is a constant challenge.

One of the problems is that there isn’t a readily available set of guidelines. What does it look like to run a Christian business or profession?

To fill that need, I’ve put together this set of specific business practices which are common among Kingdom businesses. Some of these can be tied to specific verses in the Bible, but most are based on Christian principles – “Do onto others as you would have them do unto you,” for example.

Not surprisingly, many look a lot like good business practices, regardless of their Christian derivation. This list is dynamic in that new practices are developed regularly. The same list next year may look a bit different.

So, if you are wondering “What, specifically, does it mean to live out one’s Christianity in the marketplace?” use this set of Christian Business Practices as an answer.
