In Tulsa, our chamber of commerce has a networking breakfast every other month. It costs $20 to attend, and starts at 7:30 in the morning. Hundreds show up every month. I would think if a church got started doing something like that, it would be a great think for everyone. More than a men’s ministry, because more and more, business owners and sales pros are women.

As a follow-up, you might consider offering a business networking breakfast every month, or every quarter, inviting business people to come, eat breakfast, and swap business cards. We were really close to doing that at a church once, and the business community was very excited about it, but in the end, an old codger decided it was not Christian to help people build their business. As I see it, with business people, the main issue they face is making it month to month. Its not about getting rich, its about feeding their family. If a church helped them to do that with no expectation in return, I would think that church would reap great benefits. Business owners are all about networking, so I think your idea is great.
