Serving Minnesota, North Dakota,
and Western Wisconsin
Our Purpose: To present Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord to business
and professional people, and to equip and engage Christians in the
marketplace as they carry out the Great Commission. "And the
things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses,
entrust to reliable people, who will also be qualified to teach
others" 2 Timothy 2:2 (NIV).
OUR VISION: 1,000 DISCIPLEMAKERS IN ACTION IN MINNESOTA
OUR MISSION: THE EVANGELISM AND DISCIPLESHIP OF BUSINESS AND PROFESSIONAL
MEN.
CBMC Northland currently consists of over 16 teams of men located
around the state. Our focus is MAKING DISCIPLES in obedience to
the Great Commission. Our distinguishing competency is our focus
on one-on-one spiritual mentorship using Operation Timothy where
our goal is to produce spiritual reproducers.
Minnesota has a long history of successful
CBMC ministry starting in 1939 in Minneapolis. Over the years our
tools and strategies have changed but our purpose remains the same:
to reach business and professional men for Christ.
The ministry has been aided by a full
time staff since the mid-1970's. In April of 1997, Tom Whitney was
asked to be the director for CBMC Northland. Tom committed his life
to the Lord in 1976. He worked for 16 years in the financial services
field in sales and marketing. Tom, Patty and their 3 children live
in Eagan. Learn more about
CBMC at the national ministry website.
