What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 C12 Group Franchise Disclosure Document, C12 Group membership is available to Christian business owners, CEOs, Presidents, and General Managers (and their team members) who agree with the Franchisor's Doctrine Statement or are interested in understanding these values and principles as they consider the claims of Christ.
Specifically, each C12 Group member must agree to maintain group confidentiality. They also agree to Christian conflict resolution methods. Members also commit to participating in an 'iron sharpening iron' peer group process. This process requires both listening and speaking within mutual ministry efforts.
In practical terms, this means that prospective C12 Group members should be prepared to engage in a business environment that is explicitly Christian and that prioritizes confidentiality, biblical conflict resolution, and mutual support among peers. This faith-based approach is a core element of the C12 Group's business model and is a key differentiator for the franchise.
