THE CHURCH BUSINESS NETWORK

The original concept of The Church Business Network was born out of a desire to provide Music Ministers and Pastors an opportunity to receive residual income from a network of affiliates providing products and services to churches nationwide. Terry Minke, the owner of Christian Images & Slides (now Christian Images & Productions) wanted the Music Ministers and Pastors from the over 10,000 churches he had worked with since 1991, to have the opportunity to not have to seek a second job or force their spouse to seek employment so they could dedicate their time to their ministry. Giving them an opportunity for a residual income where they could earn money even in their sleep...

“It is vain for you to rise up early, retire late, to eat the bread of painful labors; for He giveth to His beloved even in his sleep.” Psalm 127:2

...has been his inspiration. In Fall of 2007, The Church Business Network was born. Within the year, there has been many developments to bring this idea to fruition (Websters: to bear fruit - a concept with which most Christians have become familiar.)

Since 1991, Terry has developed over 500 Christian Musical Productions and provided a library of over 10,000 Digital Images and 300 Special Effects made those available exclusively to churches across America. His Church Customer base now excedes 10,000. Before 1991, he was owner of a major advertising agency and telemarketing company in Dallas with a combined 344 employees. He is a graphic designer by trade which lead him to designing 1,000's of Christian-based images, many of which are available though Christian Images & Productions www.christianslides.com . His company Creative Concepts for Senior Solutions was bought out in 2007 by Senior Solution Now, Inc. www.SeniorSolutionsNow.com a Faith-based Retirement Community developer, building non-profit retirement campuses on church property. He also serves as their National Marketing Director. His entrepreneurial expertise has been the cataylist for his four other companies, the latest of which is The Church Business Network.

In the Spring of 2008, Church Business Network hired Monty Bounds, seasoned minister of music, to become our National Sales Director. Over the past 13 years, Monty and Terry have been working together designing and presenting Major Musical Productions for every season for the churches with which he has been associated. Monty is also a Music Evangelist who has done and still does complete music programs, concerts, camps, revivals and more all across the South from his base in Hattisburg, MS. He now also serves as pastor for 19th Ave. Baptist Church in his hometown.

It was the desire of them both that they be able to some day work together full-time. That time is now! The Church Business Network is a natural evolution of events in both of their lives. The time is right. Together, the plan on making CBN "The Walmart & Sams Club" exclusively for churches and non-profit CHristian Organizations all over America.

From its original, simple concept, The Church Business Network is now staged to be a major contributor to making the purchasing process of the church much easier... "It will be the Easy Button for Your Church". The Church Business Network is on the brink of developing into a comprehensive network of affiliates who will provide virtually everything the church needs, with one click on www.churchbusinessnetwork.com
