Believers in Business
February 19-20, 2027
New York City, NY
Join us in New York for the 22nd Annual Believers in Business Conference!
As the largest Christian MBA gathering in the country, the Believers in Business Conference celebrates the intersection of the Christian MBA and Christian professional communities. It highlights not only how believing professionals are living out their faith day-to-day, but also the panoply of ways God is working through business to impact the world. As we gather again as a community of Christian students and business professionals, we’ll be exploring what it means to build for the Kingdom in an age of AI — and how our faith, character, relationships, and shared calling continue to shape the work God gives us to do.
We’re excited to see how God uses BiB 2027 conference to call a new generation to be strengthened for the good work God has placed in front of us!
When Nehemiah heard that Jerusalem’s walls lay in ruins, he wept, he prayed, and then he went to work. But he did not rebuild alone. He gathered ordinary people, and each family rebuilt the section of wall in front of their own home.
We are living through a season of unprecedented change. AI and new technologies are reshaping how we work, which skills matter, and what a career looks like. Many of us wonder where we fit, and whether our work matters to God at all. MBA life can add to the weight, with recruitment success often being measured in offers, and faith can start to feel like something we do not have time for.
Scripture gives us two pictures of builders. At Babel, they built the tower to make a name for themselves, and their project scattered them. In Nehemiah, God’s people prayed first, each family took its own section of the wall, and their work brought them back together. Building requires tools. We as Christians are called on to use technology to further God’s mission. So we must ask the important questions: what are we building with these tools, and who are they for?
God continues to build through and for his people. Our work in business is a major part of his redemptive story, whether we are in a startup, a consulting firm, a family business, or a Fortune 500 company. These tools greatly improve our productivity and efficiency but real value is when we use them for God’s glory.
Strengthen Hands is an invitation for us all to build together. We need brothers and sisters who will pray for us, who will sharpen us, and who will remind us why we are building. We are called to strengthen the hands of others too: our classmates, our teams, and the communities our work touches.
At BiB 2027, you will hear from leaders who have built with God’s purpose in mind, in their companies, their families, and their cities. You will worship and share meals with fellow MBA students from across the country, and meet mentors who have walked the road ahead of you.
We pray you will be strengthened for the good work God has placed in front of you. Are you ready to strengthen the hands of those around you?

And they said, ‘Let us rise up and build.’
So they strengthened their hands for the good work.
