The Barnabas Group is named for one of the most underappreciated figures in the New Testament - a man whose defining quality was encouragement, generosity, and a willingness to use his resources for something beyond himself. That spirit is exactly what the organization embodies. The Bay Area chapter brings together Christian business leaders, investors, and professionals who want to put their expertise to work for ministries that are doing real good in the world. Partners engage with vetted nonprofit organizations - mentoring leaders, lending strategic counsel, opening networks, and providing financial support where it's most needed. Chris serves as a partner in the Bay Area chapter because he believes that business acumen, deployed in service of God's kingdom, is one of the highest-leverage things he can do with his time and talent. The Barnabas Group provides the structure, community, and accountability to actually live that out.
