BOSTON – In 2009, Rick Ferris had just sold his packaging business. The New England entrepreneur was searching for his next opportunity, one that would provide a way to express how his faith was woven into his life in business.
In June of that year, Ferris came across an ad for C12 Group, a roundtable-style advisory service for Christian business leaders. Chairman and founder Buck Jacobs started the organization in the early 1990's with the goal of helping clients, who are members, with their businesses and their personal lives. The "C" in "C12" stands for "Christ," and the "12" is what the program calls "the ideal number" of members, who meet in groups.
