Marketplace Leaders Network

You do not have to carry business leadership alone

Marketplace Leaders Network gathers established Christian business owners and senior marketplace leaders in Ottawa for trusted relationships, practical discipleship, and honest conversations about following Jesus in business, leading people redemptively, and stewarding success for Kingdom impact.

The three core practices

Be formed spiritually as you build.

Leadership pressure is not separate from discipleship. It is often where Christ forms the leader most deeply.

Lead people redemptively, not transactionally.

Business leadership is about more than performance. It is about people, culture, dignity, and faithful stewardship.

Turn business success into Kingdom impact.

Influence, capital, creativity, and opportunity can become gifts for the flourishing of employees, churches, neighbourhoods, and the city.

A simple pathway for marketplace leaders

1. Listen

Conversations that help leaders name the real pressures, needs, and opportunities they carry.

2. Gather

Trusted rooms for prayer, peer counsel, formation, and practical wisdom.

3. Practise

Application inside real business decisions, teams, systems, and relationships.

4. Multiply

Mature leaders mentor others, host conversations, collaborate for the city, and shape the next generation.
