The Congregational Church of Batavia Small Business Networking Group is a free business networking group open to all small business owners and those interested in this community. You do not have to be a Christian or member of this church to participate; all are welcome. We meet the first, third and fifth Thursdays every month, from 8:30 am to 9:30 am, currently remotely via Zoom.

Our meetings begin with a brief prayer, followed by individual introductions (aka “elevator speeches”) and time for small group networking or a presentation by a group member or guest.

The small business networking group has been active for over fifteen years. Approximately twelve to fifteen business owners and others attend each meeting; there are always new people to meet, as well as business contacts to maintain.

Our group is non-industry exclusive; everyone is welcome. Our style is informal and casual. We do not announce or track referrals or leads. Our purpose is to bring individuals together to develop professional relationships; we believe that business leads will evolve naturally from these relationships.
