Our 
Story

Get to Know Us

The Maryland Business & Clergy Partnership (MBCP) is a bipartisan organization with a mission to bridge the gaps between businesses, faith-based communities, elected officials and governments.    Our goal is to make a difference in every community throughout Maryland by changing the political climate through policy and advocacy to open up doors for all.

In honor of the life and legacy of Rev. Bruce Branch, we remember his dedication and leadership as the Executive Director of the Maryland Business Clergy Partnership. His impact on the community will not be forgotten, and his contributions will continue to inspire us all.
