Membership

The Center for Faith & Innovation at Wheaton College offers three membership options—Executive Membership, Corporate Membership, or Premium Corporate Membership. Our members represent large, mid-sized, and small companies as well as a broad spectrum of industries, including manufacturers, retailers, and service providers.

Individual—Executive Membership

CFI Executive Members are thoughtful, Christian leaders within for-profit and not-for-profit organizations, large and small. These leaders take their faith seriously and are spiritually engaged as they integrate their faith into relationships, conversations, and decision making. With shared values and a desire to extend the kingdom of Heaven, CFI members connect with one another across industries and markets, forging innovative ideas, strategies, and best practices to bring the hope and peace of the gospel to others, impacting people, companies, communities, and the marketplace.

CFI members are challenged with new biblical insights, theological understanding, practical tools and skills. They receive free access to CFI's annual Fall Executive Forum and participate in select events, conferences and case studies. They invest in Wheaton College students and engage with faculty around applied business practices. They also receive special access to communities, workshops, research projects and social innovation projects through the CFI iLab.
