At the Altar
Where the Work is Brought Before God
Scripture
Governing Scripture
“Commit to the LORD whatever you do, and he will establish your plans.”
PROVERBS 16:3 (NIV)
At the altar, everything entrusted to us is brought before God and submitted to His authority. His Word governs how we pray, discern, build, lead, steward and respond. Here, we seek not only His help in what concerns us, but His will, wisdom and rule over all that we carry before Him.
Formation
Formation begins where we allow God to work in us, not only through us.
Formation Question
What in my leadership, habits or business needs to come under the Lordship of Jesus Christ?
Marketplace Intercession
Standing in the Gap for the Marketplace
We stand in intercession for the marketplace before God—for entrepreneurs, leaders, workers, businesses, industries, communities, economies and nations. We pray for righteous leadership, wisdom, integrity, just and fruitful enterprise, meaningful work, and economic activity that serves people and honours God.
Prayer
Bring the Work Before God
What area of my business have I been carrying without consciously bringing it before God?
Father, I bring before You the work You have entrusted to me. I submit my plans, decisions, relationships, resources, responsibilities and desires to Your Lordship. Search what needs correction, strengthen what is aligned with You, and give me wisdom to steward faithfully what You have placed in my hands. Let Your will govern what I build and how I build it. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
From the Altar
Carrying What God Forms into the Marketplace
What God forms at the Altar is carried into the marketplace. Through prayer gatherings, marketplace intercession, formation encounters, messages, teaching and biblical resources, we carry what is received at the Altar into everyday work and stewardship.

A PLACE TO BEGIN
You Were Never Meant to Build Alone.
Building under the Lordship of Jesus Christ does not mean carrying every question, burden, decision or season alone. There are times when the work itself needs to be brought forward—for prayer, discernment, biblical diagnosis and appropriate formation.
🤝 Grow Together
Connect with believers who understand the challenges of leading a business for God's Kingdom.
📖 Keep Learning
Receive biblical resources, devotionals, prayer guides, and practical teaching for your formation journey.
🙏 Pray Together
Stand with a community that believes business begins with God and is sustained through prayer.
👑 Advance the Kingdom
Stand alongside faithful marketplace leaders seeking to honour God and serve families, communities, industries, and nations through their work.
You do not have to carry the work alone. If there is something in your business, leadership or work that needs prayer, discernment or biblical formation, bring it before us.
BEFORE GOD. WITH PURPOSE
Bring the Work
What are you carrying?
Every work carries something—a decision, a burden, a recurring pattern, a difficult season, an unresolved question, or simply the need to discern what God requires next.
Bring what is actually happening. We will begin there.
Frequently Asked Questions
Whether you are encountering Consecrated Business Ministry for the first time, considering bringing your work before us, or simply seeking to understand how we serve, these answers will help you understand our approach, resources, and community.
Is Consecrated Business Ministry only for business owners?
No. CBM serves entrepreneurs, business owners, professionals, executives, emerging business leaders, and others carrying responsibility in the marketplace. What matters is the work being stewarded and the desire to bring it under the Lordship of Jesus Christ.
Where should I begin?
You can begin wherever you are. If something specific is happening in your business, leadership or work, Bring the Work and tell us what is happening. If you are seeking a broader starting point, the Kingdom Business Assessment™ can help you reflect on your current position. You do not need to diagnose the need before you begin.
Are all resources free?
No. Some CBM resources, including the Kingdom Business Assessment™, are available free of charge. Books, guides, devotionals, prayer collections and other formation resources may be offered for purchase. Where a resource is relevant to what you are carrying, we may point you toward it as an appropriate next step.
What makes CBM different?
CBM begins with the work itself. We bring business realities before God through prayer, biblical discernment and practical examination. Rather than assuming that every person or business needs the same programme, we seek to understand what is happening, identify what requires attention, and respond with the formation, resources or support appropriate to that need.
Can I join the community even if I am just starting?
Yes. The CBM community is open to people at different stages of their marketplace journey. You do not need an established business to stay connected, learn from our resources, pray with us, or grow in biblical stewardship of the work God has placed before you.
How do I stay connected?
Join the CBM community to receive biblical business resources, ministry updates, new publications, devotionals, teachings and opportunities to pray and learn with us.
