The inspiration for the Club came from a concern that Christ was missing in our work day. Not only was He missing but we weren’t taking the time to share him with our co workers. The people in churches are saved, but there is a harvest in the marketplace and laborers are few. We need to find appropriate ways to reach these people. Through the club we build Christians up to withstand the pressures of working in a secular world also empowering them to have the courage to make a statement for Christ. We believe that living our lives according to biblical principles will make us stand out in a crowd. We lead by example, drawing people to us by our actions not our words
