Your faith should not disappear when work begins.
Catholic owners make decisions every day that affect employees and families. Many do that work without knowing who nearby shares their convictions.
The Chamber helps owners find one another. It also gives Catholic consumers a way to discover businesses whose owners are willing to stand behind their faith.
Why the Chamber exists
A lesson that stayed with Joe
Joe Kimes grew up watching Catholic business owners in Fort Wayne support one another. They sent customers to each other and created work for Catholic families because they understood that a strong Catholic community needed a strong local economy.
“Practicing our faith does not stop when we walk through the doors of our business.”
A decade of living and working in the Middle East showed Joe how much Christian communities depend on shared opportunity. He helped start the Chamber to rebuild that support here at home.
