Why Reformed Business Owners Choose RBA Over Business Makers Network
If you've come across Business Makers Network, you already know the hunger for Christian community in the marketplace is real. But not every Christian business network is built for the same person—or the same purpose.
Reformed Business Alliance exists for a specific kind of owner: one who understands that business is not merely a means of profit, but a calling under God's sovereign rule. If the Dominion Mandate shapes how you think about your work, you're in the right place.

Built on the Reformed Confessions. A Protestant Table.
Business Makers Network welcomes Christians who faithfully attend a local church and affirm the Apostles' Creed. Reformed Business Alliance is built on the historic Reformed confessions—covenantal theology, the Dominion Mandate, and God's sovereign rule over every sphere of life, commerce included. Members identify with a historic confessional standard, and business listings display it. Confessional Lutherans and Anglicans are not strangers here, and neither is the evangelical who came up without a confession but has refused to make peace with this age.
This isn't gatekeeping. It's conviction. We prioritize faithfulness over broad participation because a community built on shared doctrine produces deeper trust, stronger partnerships, and more durable results than one built on a shared interest in networking.
If you've been looking for a room built on the old paths, this is it.
Who qualifies:
- ✓Reformed, confessional Christians in business (Westminster Standards, Three Forms of Unity, 1689, Savoy)
- ✓Confessional Lutherans and Anglicans who hold their historic standards
- ✓Evangelicals without a confession yet who have not surrendered on Christ's lordship or the family
- ✓Business owners who affirm the Dominion Mandate and build multi-generational, kingdom-first enterprises
The Mandate
This Isn't Networking.
It's Nation-Building.
Business Makers Network describes its mission as helping members "build successful careers and businesses, influence the economy and politics." That's admirable. But it stops short.
Reformed Business Alliance is rooted in a conviction that stretches back to 1620: that faithful Christians are called not just to succeed in business, but to disciple the nations—restoring Christian foundations in commerce, culture, and civil life for the glory of God alone.
"The Puritans didn't just build businesses. They built civilization. Their postmillennial vision drove them to shape every sphere of life around God's law. RBA carries that same conviction into the marketplace today."
Your business is an act of worship and an instrument of dominion. We take that seriously.

A Network That Serves You
Most networks—Christian or otherwise—are transactional. You pay dues. You get access. You're expected to show up and produce.
Reformed Business Alliance operates differently. Our first question is never "what can you bring to the table?" It's "how can we serve you?"
This flows directly from our theology. We believe the body of Christ in the marketplace is called to mutual service, not mutual extraction. Our Coalitions are structured for deep collaboration and coordinated action, not resume-building and card-swapping.
Strong partnerships nationwide mean that wherever you operate, there are like-minded confessional business owners who share your convictions—and want to see your work flourish.
This flows directly from our theology.

Got Questions?
Common Questions from Business Makers Network Members Considering RBA
No. Plenty of members belong to more than one network. What RBA adds is a network built on the historic Reformed confessions, where members name the confessional standard they stand on, and that shapes the depth of trust and partnership here.
It means holding to the historic Reformed faith as expressed in confessions such as the Westminster Standards, the Three Forms of Unity, or similar. It means affirming covenantal theology, the sovereignty of God in all of life, and the Dominion Mandate as a call to faithfulness in commerce and culture. RBA is built on that foundation. Confessional Lutherans and Anglicans who hold their own historic standards are welcome at the table, and so are evangelicals still working toward a confession.
No. RBA welcomes business owners at any stage. Whether you're a solo entrepreneur or lead a multi-million dollar company, if you share our convictions, you belong here.
Reach out. We're happy to have a conversation. The question isn't whether you've memorized a confession—it's whether the convictions behind it describe how you actually think about God, his kingdom, and your work.
BMN's published tiers range from $600 to $12,000 per year, set by company revenue. RBA's tiers aren't tied to your company's revenue, and membership starts at $11.25 a month (billed annually).
