Biblical Business Training Biblical Business Training (BBT) group participants learn how scripture can help them make decisions in daily life and their overall career. Groups are comprised of participants who work together, as well as participants from other companies. So, learning how other professionals apply their faith, in every-day challenges, in their various roles and responsibilities are natural benefits to all BBT participants. Entrepreneurs and small business owners also benefit from joining a BBT group for networking and sharing best practices with peers and others from larger companies. How BBT Works: A group leader will distribute the agenda for each upcoming meeting. The agenda will describe meeting preparation items such as pre-reading from curriculum and the Bible. The agenda will also have the discussion questions that will be covered during the meeting. BBT meetings are held at 7 a.m. each Friday at the St. Charles County YMCA, 3900 Shady Springs Lane, St. Peters, Mo. 63376.
