Frequently Asked Questions

What is MCBD’s purpose?

Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.Galatians 6:10 NIV

Our goal is to publish a business directory that is both useful and informative for all Christians all over our province. We want to assist Manitoba’s Christian community to come together, to support and encourage each other in business. We can then in turn reach out and help others.

How can the MCBD be useful to me?

If you are looking for a Christian business, organization or service, peruse the pages of the MCBD, where you will discover vital contact information for many of the Christian businesses operating in our province. In the MCBD you will discover approximately 1700 Christian business listings, offering products, services, information and assistance in almost every area.

Where do I get my copy and how much does it cost?

The MCBD is free and you may obtain your copy at most Christian bookstores. The MCBD is also given away at Christian events taking place in our province throughout the year. Some churches carry copies for members of their congregation and some Christian schools provide copies to their families.

Who can register a listing and how much does it cost?

If you own or manage a business in Manitoba and you are Christian, you can register. The MCBD is a great opportunity for you to identify yourself and promote your services within the Christian community in a new and fresh way. We are happy to publish this information at absolutely no cost to you. Registration is easy. Simply go to our Register Your Business page and enter the information you would like us to display in the MCBD.

Can I place an ad?

For those who would like to increase their visibility, we offer you the opportunity to purchase a display ad in the directory. These ads will share a little more of the heart and soul of your service, and are very reasonably priced for a full year of advertising. See our Advertising page of the website for further details or contact us directly via the Contact page.

What is done for Christian non-profit organizations?

To help strengthen our Christian community, we offer two display advertisment spaces for the price of one. Please contact us via the Contact page for more information.

How do I make changes to my listing?

Please re-register your listing and this new listing will replace the previous one. We appreciate all of your assistance in keeping our information accurate and current.

If I register my business, will my information be published elsewhere?

Your listing is valuable to the MCBD and we appreciate your participation. This information is used for the MCBD only.

Can I register my business more than once?

Companies may register more than once if they have more than one location. Companies may also register under two categories if they purchase a display ad. Listees that do not advertise but have more than one specialty may not register more than once but are encouraged to purchase a display advertisement to accurately describe their business.

Who is the publisher and how do I contact them?

Éditique limitée is the publisher and is a privately-owned business based out of Winnipeg. You may obtain more information on them by clicking on the Éditique logo at the bottom of each page. Your comments, suggestions or questions regarding the directory’s layout are welcome and appreciated. Please refer to our Contact page.

Am I garanteed good service or better prices with companies listed within the MCBD?

We pray that the MCBD will be a blessing to you and to everyone listed within. However, please be advised that Éditique makes no guarantees on the quality of service you will receive. MCBD would like to remind all of its readers to use wisdom in all business transactions. We do hope you will have only good experiences in using the MCBD, but if it does happen that you have a negative experience, it should in no way reflect on other businesses and services listed within the directory. It is vital that Christian businesses remain competitive to support themselves and their families. Please do not expect a break in prices from them simply because they’re Christian.

Are the companies listed within the MCBD really Christian?

All of the businesses and individuals have been invited to list themselves as Christian businesses in the directory, and we make no claims as to what that means to the people listing.

How is the MCBD financed?

The MCBD is financed through advertising. When you purchase advertising, you not only give your company, service or organization great visibility, you are supporting the existence of the MCBD.

How can I support the MCBD apart from advertising?

Tell everyone you know about the MCBD and encourage them to obtain a copy. You may also encourage other Christian businesses or organizations to register their business and you may distribute copies of the MCBD at your ministry, place of business or at your Christian event. Contact us via the Contact page to obtain copies.

Is the MCBD available online?

No, the MCBD is a printed publication only. We do hope to have an online version in the future. The MCBD website is an information website only with a capacity to receive registrations for future issues.
