“CIC is not a Bible Study or a business networking group; these are worthy endeavors but not what we do in CIC. We provide a small group experience that lets us receive God's love and wisdom through intimate friendships and prayer with other Christian women. This has the effect of deepening our personal walk with the Lord and of making us more effective in reaching out to bring God's love and healing to the people and situations in our everyday lives. I hope you will come and see how meaningful this can be for you.”

“I love getting together with my CIC small group every week. God is so incredibly present in our worship, discussion and prayer time. We all have challenges in our lives, and we learn a lot from others who have already dealt with these same issues. We pray for one another and marvel at the way God keeps performing miracles.”

Christians in Commerce Annual International Conference
October 23-24, 2009 in San Jose, CA

This is an incredible gathering of CIC leaders from throughout the U.S. and also Uganda. Men and women come together to worship and hear inspiring messages and participate in workshops and Emmaus walks and celebrate a memorable Lord's Day dinner together. The conference is Friday and Saturday, allowing for travel home on Sunday. There is a leadership day on Thursday which is very beneficial for any who can attend. Many people bring spouses to this conference as well.
