Help your businesses survive the pandemic

Build Relational Equity with Your Business Leaders

COVID-19 has opened a door for your church to build a relationship with the business leaders who attend your church.

COVID-19 and it’s governmental directives have severely impacted the health of small businesses. Many of them are experiencing a massive reduction in revenue and many are fending off business closure.

A Church Business Directory is a concrete way to support Your businesses

We are now seeing more churches take this positive step in supporting their Small Businesses by launching or re-launching an online Church Business Directory.
