Lutheran Entrepreneurs, Inc. seeks to glorify the Triune God with businesses that adhere to Christian principles. Lutheran Entrepreneurs, Inc. applies Dr. Martin Luther’s doctrine of Christian vocation as it operates under the slogan, “God’s daily work through Christian business.” It was founded in 2008 in part to address the increased ethical dilemmas 21st century business people face daily. Members gather in His name to network and encourage one another to cultivate business practices based on Biblical principles.

Lutheran Entrepreneurs was organized by Lutherans, but membership is not limited to Lutherans; we also have non-Lutheran members. We incorporate Dr. Luther's doctrine of Christian vocation, which addresses how God works through our vocations and how we integrate our faith into work as a way life.

We emphasize serving Christ, operating business according to ethical principles and building Christian relationships. Membership is not limited to one business per industry or category. Members do not "belong" to a particular chapter. Rather, they are encouraged to maximize their memberships and expand their business networks and Christian friendships by attending any and all chapter meetings.

Please visit a meeting. If you feel that membership will compliment your faith and business objectives, we would like to welcome you to the group!

October 12, 2010 - A third chapter began to meet at Ascension Lutheran Church in Littleton, Colorado in the evenings for business people who cannot close up shop, leave their office or take time to attend a daytime meeting.

October 22, 2010 - Officers and chapter coordinators met at the office of member attorney James Thorburn to discuss incorporating Lutheran Entrepreneurs as a registered 501(c)(6) nonprofit organization.
