Business Through the Eyes of Faith

RDA Systems, Inc. is a company grounded upon Christian beliefs, principles, and practices. In this framework our executives have found a home in being members of the C12 Group, LLC.

The C12 Group, LLC is the leading provider of round-table services to Christian CEOs and business owners. It began as three groups of 12 Christian business CEOs/Owners meeting once per month in central Florida with its primary focus in the Tampa Bay metro area.

In the years that followed, favorably impressed C12 friends and alumni helped to extend C12’s reach via ‘word of mouth,’ sharing discernable positive impacts that so often accompany C12 membership. As other members bought or sold businesses or relocated to other areas of the country, other business leaders began to inquire about C12.  In 1998, C12 trained and commissioned a ‘second generation’ C12 Area Chair in Florida and began to purposefully look for ways to extend the work to other regions. The motivation for this new chapter was not financial, but rather due to an abiding sense of the Lord’s calling and the ministry potential related to equipping His followers to excellence in ‘business as ministry.’

Today, C12 exists in many communities all across America and has been a source of blessing and life-enhancement to several hundred CEOs/Owners and thousands of employees, customers and suppliers. Many people have come to the Lord after having been touched by C12 member companies in ways that share God’s provision and purpose.

C12 companies range from small family businesses to large publicly-traded corporations. Working alongside like-minded Christian marketplace organizations like Corporate Chaplains of America, Global Leadership (offshore business missionary focus), and Christ-centered graduate business schools (such as Regent University), C12 has developed an array of complementary products, services, and high-impact seminar events, all aimed at benefiting members as they pursue their special calling as Ambassadors for Christ in the marketplace, stewards of His provision, and servants of those they touch.

C12 is governed by a Board of Directors committed to serving in unity for His purpose. Members share a long-term commitment to C12 and its vision of developing and serving Kingdom businesses by equipping and inspiring leaders. C12 Area Chairs share a firm sense of calling and are committed to excellence in facilitating their local C12 Groups by applying the great wealth of business and Biblical perspective the Lord has blessed them with during group and One-on-One coaching settings. By doing so, we hope to be used by the Lord to change the world one local marketplace at a time, turning others toward Christ and seeing the marketplace become a source of revival!

CORE VALUES:

• Results – Results matter! A good try is admirable but not the goal. Results that matter are the goal of our efforts. The measures that we use are focused on actions or activities that deliver results. The results that we look for are increasing exposure (e.g., profitable growth or adding new members) and eternal fruitfulness in existing members, expanding their influence for God in the lives they touch in and through their business.


• Integrity – Errors can be forgiven, breaking integrity won’t be accepted. We will not accept or excuse any breach of integrity. We will face it, repent and make amends if necessary, and correct any found cause.


• Camaraderie – The spirit of unity among those called by God to the work, expressed in the joy we experience when we speak or visit together. We are a team of “called ones” sharing the joy of a common call in Christ. We accept our differences as God-given and complementary.


• Spiritual Growth – A commitment to unending growth in intimacy with and obedience to Jesus is the baseline we share. Without a legalistic standard but with charity, humility and repentant hearts, accepting each other as we are, we are committed to be all we can be in Christ.


• Innovation toward Excellence – We strive to constantly push the envelope past the benchmark for excellence in every dimension of our organization and work.


• Thankfulness – We will never forget that all we have is a gift from God or fail to thank Him. We who deserve nothing have been given life’s ultimate privilege – serving God through work that is meaningful to Him.
