If you are a Christian CEO or business owner searching for a Christian business coach near you, you are probably carrying more than a growth plan. You want someone who understands P&L pressure, people decisions, and the faith that shapes how you lead. You want counsel that respects both the business and the calling.
That search is wise. The question is what kind of help fits the season you are in.
What a Christian business coach typically provides
A Christian business coach is usually one person walking with one leader. The rhythm is often weekly or biweekly. Sessions focus on the decisions, habits, and blind spots that keep you up at night as an owner. A good coach asks hard questions, helps you see the next step, and holds you to it. Faith may be part of the conversation, depending on the coach.
That model can be a gift. Many leaders grow under one trusted adviser. It is focused, private, and flexible.
What it usually does not give is a room of peers who sit in a similar seat. When the hard call involves capital, culture, a key hire, or a family tension tied to the company, one voice is still one voice.
What a C12 forum provides
C12 South Florida is a Christian CEO peer advisory group. It is not coaching alone, not a church small group, and not a room built for selling to each other.
Members meet in a monthly confidential forum. Peers share counsel on real business and leadership issues. The culture is built for authenticity, vulnerability, and mutual accountability. Monthly curriculum pairs world-class business practices with Business as a Ministry, so faith is not an add-on at the end of the day. It is fully integrated into how the business is run.
Each year, members also bring a Core Business Presentation. That is a structured look at the company with candid feedback and experiential advice, offered with biblical wisdom. It is one of the clearest ways to see your business through trusted eyes outside your four walls.
Between forum days, members also receive monthly one-to-one Executive Leadership Coaching with their Chair. It is personal and confidential time to work on the issues that go beyond the full forum agenda. The Chair facilitates the forum AND walks with you one-on-one as a trusted Christian business coach.
Is a Christian business coach or a peer advisory group a better fit?
A Christian business coach alone may fit if you want a private one-to-one relationship or you need short-term help on a specific skill or transition.
C12 South Florida may fit if you want confidential counsel from Christian CEOs and owners who carry similar responsibility, you want faith integrated with how the company actually runs, and you want both a peer forum and monthly one-to-one Executive Leadership Coaching. Typical fit is growth-minded CEOs or owners with 10 or more employees or $2M+ in revenue. It is not a fit for solopreneurs below that bar or anyone looking mainly for networking opportunities.
Some leaders keep a specialist coach for a season and still join a peer forum. Those are not always either-or. The useful question is whether you also need peers who understand the seat you sit in.

Frequently asked questions
Is C12 a Christian business coach?
C12 is a Christian CEO peer advisory group in addition to executive coaching. Members get a confidential monthly forum with peers, an annual Core Business Presentation, and monthly one-to-one Executive Leadership Coaching with their Chair. Coaching is an integral part of the model. It is not the whole model.
Christian business coach or peer advisory group: which do I need?
If you mainly want private one-to-one guidance, a coach can be the right first step. If you also want counsel from peers who sit in a similar seat, and you want faith integrated with how you run the company, peer advisory is built for that. Many leaders explore both. A discovery conversation helps you decide without pressure.
Does C12 include one-on-one coaching?
Yes. Members receive monthly one-to-one Executive Leadership Coaching with their Chair (FOCUS60), in addition to the monthly forum. The forum is still the center of the experience. The one-to-one time focused on the personal and leadership issues beyond the full room.
Who is C12 South Florida for?
Christian CEOs, owners, and executives with P&L responsibility who want peer counsel and faith-business integration. Typical fit is growth-minded leaders stewarding 10+ employees or $2M+ in revenue. It is not for people looking primarily for a room built for selling to each other, or for solopreneurs.
