The Story of the U.S. Christian Chamber Movement

---

What began as a bold vision to unite Christian business leaders across America has become a powerful national movement of faith-driven professionals transforming the marketplace for the glory of God.

The U.S. Christian Chamber of Commerce was founded under the leadership of Krystal Parker, a former Fortune 500 executive turned faith-driven entrepreneur. After years in corporate leadership, Krystal experienced a profound encounter with God that redefined her understanding of success. She recognized that business was more than profit — it was a platform for ministry. With that revelation, she felt called to create a national network that would connect Christian business leaders, equip them for impact, and advance the Kingdom of God through commerce.

Krystal’s vision began in Central Florida, where she established one of the nation’s first thriving Christian Chambers. Her dynamic leadership and heart for unity quickly inspired others across the country. She soon became the President of the U.S. Christian Chamber of Commerce, where she continues to lead with grace, excellence, and a clear calling to empower marketplace leaders to do business God’s way.

From those beginnings, the movement has expanded — state by state — as passionate leaders caught the same vision: to build communities where Christian entrepreneurs, executives, and professionals can grow in faith, leadership, and purpose. Each chamber operates as a Kingdom outpost, serving its local region while remaining connected to a shared national mission.

Today, this is far more than an organization — it’s a Kingdom collaboration. Across the U.S., Christian business leaders are joining forces to integrate faith and business, influence culture, and bring the presence of God into the marketplace.

The Minnesota Christian Chamber of Commerce was born out of this same Spirit-led movement. Founded by Holly Misener, the MN Chamber carries the same passion to see Christian business leaders connected, equipped, and empowered to advance the Kingdom through their leadership, culture, and commerce.

Together — from Florida to Minnesota and beyond — this movement continues to grow. The U.S. Christian Chamber of Commerce and its state partners are united by one mission:
to see Jesus Christ glorified through business, to strengthen leaders with Biblical truth, and to transform the marketplace into a ministry field that reaches the nations.

This is more than a Chamber. It’s a national movement. A Kingdom family. A call for believers in business to rise, unite, and lead with the heart of Christ.

To empower Christian business leaders to advance the Kingdom of God through their leadership by connecting and providing services that are rooted in the Word of God, led by the Holy Spirit, and overflowing with His heart to empower marketplace ministry.

To see Minnesota’s business community transformed by the presence and power of God — where companies operate with Kingdom excellence, leaders reflect Christ’s character, and commerce becomes a catalyst for revival and renewal.
