New Hampshire / Southern Maine Seacoast
ThePowerHub
Networking the Kingdom Way.
A faith-based business table for ordinary trades, professions, and straightforward Christian work. One table. Referrals that travel on trust.
Our vision
“To come together and build a stronger community.”
— The founders of The PowerHub
About the table
A working forge. Not a ministry. Not a chamber-of-commerce template.
The PowerHub is a faith-based business table on the New Hampshire / Southern Maine Seacoast. Members gather, refer, and remodel their work.
We built it because groups go stale. The same people sit in the same chairs for years. So this table is built to stay open: open meetings for all businesses, open schedules, different times of day. And it is built with a standard. The first question we ask about a new business is simple. Are they trustworthy?
We don’t collect Christians who own businesses. We put reliable, grateful, remodeling people at the same table so referrals can travel on trust.
Our mission
“To strengthen local communities and foster better business relationships by combining professional networking with charitable action.”
— The founders of The PowerHub
Five values
- Respect
- Professionalism
- Service
- Stewardship
- Inclusion
These values guide how we interact, make decisions, and represent the group.
Three pillars
Three pillars. One table.
Charity
We back one charity partner a year and hold events at their space. We keep score by what we raise for them.
Networking
Referrals travel on trust. Refer the best fit. Don’t poach. Close the loop.
The standard
TRUEGRIT. The standard for a seat.
Eight letters. Each one is something we listen for in a story, not a slogan.
- TTrust in GodFaith is lived in the business, not only named on Sunday.
- RReview / RemodelThey examine themselves and change. Not finished. Not frozen.
- UUnderstand othersThey can describe a client’s world.
- EExemplify excellenceWork is offered as worship.
- GGratitudeThanks is a habit, not a caption.
- RReliable / RealisticThey finish. They don’t oversell.
- IIntegrityThe same person in the room, on the invoice, and when no one is watching.
- TTrustworthyPeople can send them a name without bracing for damage.
Gatherings
Four gatherings a month.
Each one has its own time of day and its own feel. Every meeting opens and closes in prayer.

Gratitude statements. Referral statements. One open business question, on a five-minute timer. Pitch Night, two to three minutes each. We close with an accountability business check-in, then prayer.
In person or online
In person is better. The table is built in the room. Most meetings also run online, on Zoom, Microsoft Teams, or Google Meet.
Members
Members attend at least one of the four each month, and meet another member face to face every month.
Guests
Guests are welcome at open gatherings, up to eight visits. A guest takes a chair. A member takes a seat.

[ADD calendar link or embed]Who belongs
Who sits at the table.
The PowerHub is for ordinary trades, professions, and straightforward Christian work. Whoever sits in the seat, owner or representative, is personally a believer.
Guests don’t need to share our faith to walk in. Faith counts for membership, not for the door.
Members can say in one sentence who they serve and what problem they solve.
What we don’t seat
- MLM, network marketing, direct sales, or any income built on recruiting other sellers.
- Occult, New Age, psychic or medium work, energy healing, or “quantum” spiritual services.
That is a no about this table, not about you.
There is no cap on seats. The Hub can grow. Inside it, smaller power groups seat one member per business type.
Giving and charity
No dues. Everyone invests.
There are no dues. There is a donation basket. Every member invests in the table: service, resources, money, or all three. No amount is set.
Each year the whole table pulls for one charity partner. We hold events at their space and bring the room to the work. We measure success by what we raise for them.
