History CBMC began in the United States in 1930, when a group of Christian businessmen coordinated a series of pre-Easter rallies. With the Great Depression in its 2nd year, these men saw a need for a spiritual revival in the Chicago area, and a six week evangelistic crusade was held at the Garrick Theatre, located in downtown Chicago. Today, CBMC has grown from a small group of men in Chicago to over 18,000 members in 700 teams across the United States. Worldwide, CBMC is active in over 70 countries with over 50,000 members total.
Core Values Preeminence of Christ: Intimacy with Christ is paramount; therefore we recognize that ministry flows through spiritual leaders who are devoted to Christ and to prayer. All that we do must emanate from our life in Christ and His life in ours. Life-on-Life Relationships:: We value the process of committed one-on-one relationships for evangelism and discipleship. Teams: God calls us to work together in teams in order to multiply what He wants to accomplish through us. Generational Spiritual Reproduction: The goal of the discipleship process is spiritual reproduction to the 3rd and 4th generations and beyond.
Purpose To PRESENT Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord to business and professional men, and, To DEVELOP Christian business and professional men to carry out the Great Commission.
