Join Christian business, church, and civic leaders from across Texas for a historic commissioning night designed to strengthen Kingdom commerce through excellence, unity, and high level leadership.
Join Us
This is more than a gala. It is a commissioning moment for leaders who believe business can carry Kingdom purpose, strengthen cities, and multiply impact across Texas.
What this night represents
A public commencement of the Texas Christian Chamber of Commerce
A high trust room of influence across business, church, and civic leadership
A vision forward for strengthening Kingdom commerce in Texas
Why This Moment Matters for Texas
We believe the marketplace is one of the most powerful places to influence culture, steward resources, and advance Kingdom impact with integrity and purpose.
The challenge
Many faith driven business leaders are building in isolation.
Collaboration is often limited and Kingdom aligned partnerships are underdeveloped.
Cities are strengthened when leaders unify around shared purpose and measurable action.

Executive connection with leaders shaping the marketplace across Texas
