What these fellowships are built to form

The CEO formed first, then the whole company engaged.

Living in Communion Company Fellowships brings the whole team onto the same page about Christ’s preeminence, communion with God Holy Spirit, and how to operate a for-profit company simultaneously as a ministry of reconciliation with profitably and growth in the marketplace.

  • Authentic disciples of Jesus Christ who make disciples.
  • A covenantal company community participating with God Holy Spirit governance.
  • A whole team aligned under the preeminence of Jesus Christ in business.
  • Profitable endurance, marketplace growth, and Jesus’s authority in business as The Ultimate Unfair Competitive Advantage!®
What this is

A weekly fellowship for the whole company community

A Living in Communion Company Fellowship is an Acts 2:42-47 weekly company home-church gathering that equips business team members and their full sphere of influence — customers, vendors, families, and beyond — with Scripture and the knowledge and understanding that flows from the heart of Jesus Christ.

These are simple gatherings centered on Holy Spirit, Scripture, fellowship, shared meals, prayer, and mutual care for one another. The goal is not to replicate an American Sunday service in a home, but to pursue spiritual and community formation together as an embodied people learning experientially to live, do business, and minister in communion with God Holy Spirit's abiding presence.

Like the CEO, it begins with making the team into authentic disciples of Christ who make disciples. We define making disciples through covenant and a biblical definition of an authentic disciple, taught in Jesus Christ’s CEOs® Bible Institute and then lived out in the company's daily activities. 

The expansion

The journey begins with the CEO, but it does not stop there

Nothing happens in a company apart from the CEO, which is why the journey begins with the CEO’s covenant, consecration, and participation with God Holy Spirit governance. But the endgame is not a spiritually awakened CEO leading an unchanged team. The endgame is a whole company community brought into alignment with the preeminence of Jesus Christ and spiritually formed together as one body in the marketplace.

Restoring the preeminence of Jesus Christ in business on an individual basis, a company basis, and a city basis is a monumental task. That is why Living in Communion Company Fellowships are needed. They help move a company from individual conviction to communal participation, so the whole team can come onto the same page about what it means to honor Christ’s preeminence and operate a for-profit company simultaneously as a ministry of reconciliation, profitability, and growth in the city's marketplace.

It starts with the CEO, but it will take the Spirit of God on all team members and throughout every business activity in a consecrated company.

The fellowship expands the Storehouse mandate from the CEO to the whole company community.

Why this matters

More than a weekly meeting

The purpose of these Acts 2:42-47 fellowship goes beyond building a healthier internal culture or adding a spiritual activity to the company calendar. Its deeper purpose is to bear witness through people being formed into oneness with the Father and the Son so that those in the city's marketplace may know the Father’s love.

As your company community is shaped in communion with God Holy Spirit, the fellowship becomes more than a meeting. It becomes a living witness in the city to the reality of Jesus Christ’s reign and the love of the Father.

The endgame is never merely the business itself. The endgame is a covenantal community in communion with God Holy Spirit sustained in the city's public squares, manifesting Christ and the love of God in order to reconcile people and their business activities to the preeminence of Jesus Christ, to whom they were created by and created for.

I in them, and You in Me; that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me.

John 17:23

Biblical standard

What is an authentic kingdom company?

Our storehouse defines an authentic kingdom company with a simple but demanding Biblical standard:

The presence of the Spirit of Jesus Christ reigning in glory, honor, and dominion throughout the entire community of a business’s sphere of influence.

No Christian business has yet fully achieved this standard. Since the cross, the resurrection, the sending of the Holy Spirit, and the founding of the Church, the world has not seen a for-profit company completely transformed into an authentic kingdom community, one where Christ’s reign extends beyond the walls of the business and into the lives of everyone it touches. That is the unprecedented work our storehouse exists to make possible.

This is why the whole company must be engaged. The authentic kingdom company is not a spiritually sincere CEO surrounded by an otherwise untouched business community. It is a consecrated company in which the Spirit of God is at work on all team members and throughout every business activity.

What makes this different

Far more than a Bible study or devotional rhythm

Many sincere Christian CEOs believe they are running a kingdom company because they hold a weekly Bible study, open meetings with prayer, or set aside time for devotions during business hours. These practices are genuinely good — but they are not enough.

A Bible study does not transform a community. A devotional does not disciple a sphere of influence. A prayer time, however sincere, does not equip a team to do life and business experientially in communion with God Holy Spirit — individually or as a body.

Practices like these may cultivate a Christian atmosphere. An authentic kingdom company requires something deeper: a community of believers habitually being formed, equipped, and sent together as one Body of Christ into the city's marketplace. It requires authentic discipleship, covenantal formation, and the making of disciples within the company itself.

Authentic disciples

The team is not merely informed. It is formed into authentic disciples of Jesus Christ who make disciples.

Covenantal community

The business team becomes a covenantal community in Christ, participating together with God Holy Spirit’s governance.

Marketplace ekklesia

The company continues as a for-profit enterprise while simultaneously functioning as a ministry of reconciliation in the city's public squares of business.

The advantage

The Ultimate Unfair Competitive Advantage!®

When the preeminence of Jesus Christ is genuinely restored throughout an organization, that company may enjoy Jesus’s authority and power in business as The Ultimate Unfair Competitive Advantage!® This is not a gimmick, technique, or branding phrase. It is the fruit of a company being reordered so that people, processes, and profits exist by Jesus, through Jesus, and for Jesus.

We believe profitable growth matters because without profitability and growth, a company would not remain in the public squares of business long enough to fulfill Jesus Christ’s purpose there. For that reason, communion with God Holy Spirit is not opposed to growth, endurance, or profitability. Properly ordered, it is part of what sustains a company’s witness in the city's marketplace and enlarges its sphere of influence for Christ’s purpose.

As the whole company learns to live and do business in communion with God Holy Spirit, the team becomes more than coworkers. It becomes a covenantal community in Christ. That is a game changer for business, and one of the clearest expressions of The Ultimate Unfair Competitive Advantage!®

JESUS

First in the company, first in the culture, first in the purpose, first in the profit.

TEAM

The whole company comes into alignment under Christ’s preeminence, not just the CEO in isolation.

GROWTH

Profitable endurance matters because it sustains the company’s presence in the marketplace for Christ’s purpose.

Why weekly

Why a weekly fellowship changes everything

Early in Leray Heyne’s shepherding journey, he discovered that Christian business communities were not being equipped to live in true communion with God Holy Spirit — not as individuals, and not as a gathered body. When Leray accepted Jesus’s call as His shepherd, he committed to changing that.

Today, Leray and JC CEOs Media produce a weekly sermon specifically for Christian CEOs to facilitate our storehouse’s Living in Communion Company Fellowships in homes around the world. Rooted in the pattern of Acts 2:42–47 — teaching, fellowship, breaking of bread, prayer, and mutual care for one another — these gatherings are not a program. They are the ongoing, Spirit-led formation of a kingdom of Christ community inside your company, week by week, person by person.

This is how an authentic kingdom company is built. Not through a single initiative, but through faithful, experiential, Christ-abiding presence together in communion with God Holy Spirit’s governance.

Weekly rhythm

How the weekly gathering works

A Living in Communion Company Fellowship follows a simple Saturday or Sunday flow of roughly two to three hours, built around teaching, fellowship, breaking bread, prayer, and care.

  • Arrival & Informal Fellowship — Welcome people warmly, provide light snacks or drinks, and make room for open conversation that helps people settle in, build trust, and notice needs.
  • Worship and Praise — Begin with worship and praise, using selected worship songs or videos that help set the atmosphere for the gathering.
  • Welcome & Opening Prayer — Open in prayer, acknowledge Christ as the head of the gathering, invite God Holy Spirit to lead, and on the designated rhythm include communion.
  • Teaching the Word — Play Pastor Leray Heyne’s sermon of the week, then keep the discussion interactive by asking questions, encouraging insight, and connecting the teaching to obedience and participation with God Holy Spirit during the coming week.
  • Pray Together — Share needs and praise, pray for one another specifically by name, and include families, the company, vendors, customers, and the lost.
  • Breaking of Bread and Fellowship — Share a meal together and let the table become a place for joyful, natural conversation, testimonies, encouragement, and burden-bearing.
  • Mutual Care — Set aside time monthly or as needed to identify practical, emotional, or financial needs within the group and beyond, and decide together how to respond.
  • Business as Mission Mindset — Before closing, ask who can be loved, served, or invited that week, and pray for boldness and opportunity.
  • Worship and Praise — Close with worship and prayer so the gathering ends in praise.
Shared life

Beyond the weekly gathering

An Acts 2:42–47 community is more than a weekly event. It is a shared experiential lifestyle in communion with God Holy Spirit governance.

Meet informally during the week for meals, coffee, or prayer walks, mirroring how they met day by day in homes and the public squares. Cultivate shared spiritual practices such as Scripture reading, fasting, and serving together. As your Company Fellowship grows, consider multiplying into additional home gatherings to preserve the depth of fellowship and opportunity for everyone to participate.

Over time, this is how a business team becomes more than coworkers. It becomes a covenantal community in Christ, participating with God Holy Spirit’s governance. That is a game changer for business and one of the clearest expressions of The Ultimate Unfair Competitive Advantage!®

Core rhythms

Simple rhythms that can endure

The weekly outline gives a simple cadence that makes the fellowship repeatable and sustainable for hosts and leaders.

  • Weekly: teaching, prayer, fellowship, and meal.
  • Monthly: communion.
  • Quarterly: evaluate the group’s health and spiritual growth together.
Who this is for

For CEOs who want the whole team aligned in Christ

This invitation is for Christian CEOs, founders, owners, and business leaders who want their company to move beyond symbolic spirituality into a shared life shaped by Christ’s reign. It is especially fitting for leaders who already sense that prayer in meetings or a weekly Bible study, while good, is not enough to disciple an entire company sphere of influence.

It is for leaders who know their whole team must be on the same page about the preeminence of Christ, communion with God Holy Spirit, and how to operate a for-profit business simultaneously as a ministry of reconciliation, profitability, and growth in the city's marketplace.

If you want your company community to be formed in communion with God Holy Spirit, to grow in embodied fellowship, to endure profitably in the public squares, and to bear witness as one Body of Christ, this page is speaking to you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who can start a Living in Communion Company Fellowship?

How long does a Living in Communion Company Fellowship usually last?

A typical Living in Communion Company Fellowship gathering lasts about two to three hours on a Saturday or Sunday.
That gives enough time for worship, prayer, teaching, discussion, a shared meal, and fellowship without rushing what God Holy Spirit may be doing in the group.

The goal is not to move quickly through a program. The goal is to make room for Scripture, communion, mutual care, and real participation as a company community learning to live and do business together in Christ.

Is this just a Bible study for my team?

No. 

A Bible study may be part of the gathering, but Living in Communion Company Fellowship is more than a Bible study, devotional rhythm, or prayer at the start of a meeting.


It is a weekly pattern of communal spiritual formation in communion with God Holy Spirit.

A Bible study can inform people. This fellowship is meant to form people — and not just as individuals, but as a company community being shaped together under the preeminence of Jesus Christ.

What happens during the weekly gathering?

A Living in Communion Company Fellowship follows a simple flow built around arrival and informal fellowship, worship and praise, opening prayer, teaching the Word, praying together, breaking bread, mutual care, business-as-mission focus, and closing worship and prayer.

The structure is simple on purpose. It is meant to support communion, not compete with it, so people can participate, be known, and grow together as one body in the marketplace.

What happens during the teaching time?

The group watches Pastor Leray Heyne’s sermon of the week and then discusses it interactively.


The emphasis is not merely on understanding the content, but on obedience, participation with God Holy Spirit, and how the teaching should shape life and business in the coming week.

This keeps the gathering from becoming passive. The teaching is received together and then worked into the life of the company community.

Why is the shared meal important?

Because these fellowships are rooted in the Acts 2:42–47 pattern, breaking bread is not an optional extra added for warmth or hospitality.


It is part of the shared life being formed.

The table creates space for testimonies, encouragement, burden-bearing, answered prayer, relational depth, and the practical experience of doing life together as a meaningful body.

How often should we take communion?

A monthly rhythm is recommended.

That cadence gives the group a clear and repeatable way to honor Christ together while keeping communion integrated into the life of the fellowship rather than treating it as an afterthought.

Are Living in Communion Company Fellowships meant to be in person?

Yes. 

Living in Communion Company Fellowships are meant to be embodied, in-person gatherings, rooted in the pattern of Acts 2:42–47, where believers gather in shared life around Scripture, prayer, fellowship, breaking bread, and mutual care.


That embodied nature matters because these fellowships are not meant to be merely content delivery or remote observation. They are meant to form a real company community learning to live and do business together in communion with God Holy Spirit.

At the same time, if team members are in other regions or traveling, video conferencing is encouraged so they can still join the weekly fellowship and remain connected to the life of the company community.

What should we do with team members who are truly remote?

If a team member is truly remote, we encourage them not only to join by video when needed, but also to begin inviting people where they live so that a local, in-person Living in Communion Company Fellowship can grow in that place.


This matters because one of the main goals of this storehouse is to multiply disciples and ministers of reconciliation in the public squares of business.

Living in Communion Company Fellowships are one of the primary ways that multiplication takes place, as formed company communities extend Christ’s life into new relationships, new regions, and new local spheres of influence.

Who should be included in a Living in Communion Company Fellowship?

It begins with the CEO and the company team, but it does not have to stop there.


These fellowships can also include the wider sphere of influence connected to the company, including families, customers, vendors, and others the Lord may lead you to invite.

That outward movement matters because the goal is not a closed internal circle. The goal is discipleship, reconciliation, and the extension of Christ’s life through the company’s sphere of influence.

Is this only for companies that already feel spiritually mature?

No. 

This is especially important for leaders who already sense that prayer in meetings, a weekly Bible study, or a generally Christian atmosphere is not enough to disciple an entire company sphere of influence.

Living in Communion Company Fellowships exist precisely because many Christians have not been taught how to practically and experientially participate with the abiding presence of Jesus Christ through communion with God Holy Spirit in life or in business, individually or as a community.

Does the CEO have to lead every gathering personally?

The CEO must own the spiritual direction of the company, but that does not necessarily mean personally carrying every visible part of each weekly gathering.


Over time, others in the company community may help host, welcome, facilitate prayer, share meals, or care for people as the fellowship grows.

Even so, the fellowship should remain clearly aligned with the CEO’s covenantal leadership and the company’s consecration to Jesus Christ. The point is not to delegate away responsibility, but to cultivate ordered participation.

What is the difference between the Bible Institute and Living in Communion Company Fellowship?

The Bible Institute is where the CEO is formed.

Living in Communion Company Fellowship is where that formation begins to multiply outward into the company and beyond.

  • The Bible Institute equips the CEO.
  • Living in Communion Company Fellowship equips the CEO, their team, and the broader spheres of influence they invite into the work of discipleship and reconciliation.

The Institute is therefore not the final destination. It is the beginning point of ordered leadership that can then shape an entire company community.

Can my team participate even if they have not gone through the Bible Institute?

Yes. 

The Bible Institute is specifically designed to equip the CEO.


Living in Communion Company Fellowship is what includes the CEO, their team, and the broader spheres of influence they want to invite and include.

That distinction matters. The CEO is formed first, and then that formation begins to shape the company community through the weekly fellowship.

Is this about ministry, or is it about building a profitable company?

It is about both, in the right order.


Jesus Christ is first. The business is second.


When the preeminence of Jesus Christ is genuinely restored throughout an organization, we believe that company may enjoy His authority and power as The Ultimate Unfair Competitive Advantage!®, while also discovering biblically that it is never ultimately about the business.

Profitability and growth still matter because without them, a company would not remain in the public squares of business long enough to fulfill Jesus Christ’s purpose there. At the same time, the company must never mistake profit for purpose. Its true purpose is to belong to Jesus Christ and serve His reconciling work in the marketplace.

What happens outside the weekly meeting?

An Acts 2:42–47 community is more than a weekly event.


We encourage an ongoing shared lifestyle that includes meals, coffee, prayer walks, shared spiritual practices, serving together, and eventually additional home gatherings as the fellowship grows.

This is part of how the company becomes more than a workplace. It becomes a covenantal community in Christ learning to abide together in daily life, not only during a scheduled meeting.

Is Living in Communion Company Fellowship only for our internal team life?

No. 

The fellowship strengthens the internal life of the company community, but it is not meant to stop there.


It prepares the team to live and do business together in communion with God Holy Spirit so the company can carry Christ’s witness into every relationship and public sphere it lawfully touches.

A company that stops at internal formation may become spiritually insulated. A company that is formed in Christ and then extends that life outward begins to serve as a living instrument of reconciliation in the public squares of business.

How does this fellowship relate to the outward mission of reconciliation?

Living in Communion Company Fellowships help gather, feed, align, and form the whole company community so that the work of Christ does not remain only in the CEO or only inside private meetings.

As the team is formed in communion with God Holy Spirit, the company becomes better prepared to engage customers, vendors, neighbors, and community relationships as people to be loved, served, discipled, and touched by the order of Christ.


In that way, the fellowship is part of the preparation for outward witness in the marketplace.

Does this fellowship connect to City Restoration?

Yes. 

In our broader framework, City Restoration represents the next faithful expansion of the mandate: not stopping at CEO formation or company fellowship, but extending Jesus Christ’s reach into the city through the marketplace.

Living in Communion Company Fellowships fit into that progression by helping the whole company community become aligned, spiritually formed, and ready to participate in lawful public-square obedience.

Do we need to wait until everything is perfect before launching?

No. 

The fellowship is not meant to begin only after a company has everything fully organized, spiritually mature, or structurally complete.

It begins with a willing CEO, a clear yes to Christ’s preeminence, and a readiness to let the company community be formed over time in communion with God Holy Spirit.


What matters most is not perfection at the start. What matters is willingness, order, faithfulness, and obedience.
