SWFL Christian Chamber – December Luncheon
The Above Board Chamber of Florida is excited to announce our next SWFL Christian Chamber luncheon, hosted by the beautiful Saint William Catholic Church in Naples. We warmly invite our members, friends, church leaders, and local nonprofits to join us for an afternoon of faith, fellowship, leadership, and community impact.
🙏 Our Mission
Our goal is simple but powerful:
To partner with churches across Southwest Florida — helping them grow, highlight their ministries, connect with nonprofits, and work together to make a greater difference in our community.
When churches, nonprofits, and business leaders unite, lives change.
And that is the heart of the SWFL Christian Chamber.
