twelve

No one should build their business alone.

twelve is a God focused community of Christian business owners, contractors, consultants, and creators in Gilbert and the greater Phoenix area. A gathering of His people, walking together through the wins and the hard parts of the work He has given us.

A gathering of His people, for the work He has given us.

Running a business can be lonely. The decisions are heavy, the pressure is real, and it is easy to carry it all by yourself.

twelve exists so that no one has to. We are Christian business owners, contractors, consultants, and creators in the Phoenix area who keep God at the center, show up for one another, and build together.

Business owners
Leading teams, carrying payroll, and making the hard calls.
Contractors
Building homes, spaces, and trades across the Valley.
Consultants
Bringing wisdom and expertise to the businesses they serve.
Creators
Making, designing, and telling stories with their work.

Pull up a chair. Every month, in person.

In-person gatherings across the Phoenix area for real connection and honest conversation. No pitches, no performance. Just people who understand the weight of running a business, and the God who carries it with us.

What a gathering looks like

  1. 1.

    We open in prayer

    Each gathering begins with a short prayer, inviting God into the room and into our work.

  2. 2.

    We talk honestly

    Open, vulnerable conversation about what God is doing in our businesses right now.

  3. 3.

    We share the wins and the hard parts

    We celebrate together, and we carry the heavy things together too.

A seat at the table, and people in your corner between gatherings.

Membership gives you a standing seat at the table, plus a private members' thread where the conversation keeps going all month long. It is where we pray for each other, stay connected, and send work to people we trust.
