New Member Guide
Welcome to the Fellowship
You've joined a room full of business owners who believe business is a calling — and that nobody should build alone. Here's how to get the most out of your membership and this website.
Start With These Four Steps
About 30 minutes, once. After this, you'll know your way around.
1.Set up your member profile
Sign in and open My Account. Add your name, business, industry, and stage so other members know who you are and what you do.
Open My Account2.Take the Find Your Next Step assessment
Answer a few short questions about your business and get a personal starting point — Starting, Building, Growing, or Passing It On.

Eight short chapters of biblical wisdom and practical action for your business. Read one chapter a week to get grounded.

"And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together."
Hebrews 10:24–25
Membership here isn't a subscription — it's a seat at the table. The more you show up, the more you'll get out of it. And when you've been helped, pass it on.

Quick Answers for New Members
Who can see my information?
Your contact details are never public. Directory and member contact information is visible to signed-in members only, and each member controls what they share on their own listing.
How do meetings work?
We meet monthly — usually the last Wednesday. Find the date on the Events or Meetings page, click Reserve My Spot or RSVP, and bring your biggest challenge. You'll never be put on the spot without warning.
What does my membership include?
Your first 3 months are a free trial with full access to everything — every resource and tool, the member directory, and posting ads and flyers on the Marketplace. No card needed to start, and you're always welcome to stay in the fellowship afterwards.
Does mentorship cost anything?
The fellowship community is free. Mentorship is optional and available to members — submit a request on the Mentorship page and a coordinator will match you with the right mentor.
How do I get help with something on the site?
Use the Contact page to reach the fellowship team, or ask your question on any Biggest Challenge page. Someone will get back to you.
LEARN IT. DO IT. PASS IT ON.
We're glad you're here. See you at the next meeting.
