Christian Financial Resources โ Organization Profile
Christian Financial Resources (CFR) is a nonprofit financial ministry based in Lake Mary, Florida that serves independent Christian Churches and their associated ministries. CFRโs stated mission is โFunding Ministryโฆ Changing Lives.โ Through a combination of investment offerings, ministry lending, and stewardship services, CFR helps connect Christian investors and donors with churches and ministry projects that need capital to move forward.
A primary focus of CFRโs work is ministry lending for church and ministry facilities. According to CFRโs materials, funded projects have included land acquisitions, refinances, and construction or improvement of buildings such as churches, parsonages, schools, and other ministry facilities. By providing loan options for purchases, refinances, and construction, CFR aims to support congregations and related ministries as they plan for growth and long-term sustainability.
CFR also offers investment opportunities designed to provide interest income while supplying funding for ministry loans. Options described by CFR include a Ready Access Certificate (a demand investment designed for accessibility) as well as time-based certificates and IRA-related services (including IRA transfers). In addition to supporting ministry projects, these investment programs are presented as a way for individuals and households to put savings and retirement assets to work in alignment with stewardship values.
Beyond loans and investments, CFR provides strategic stewardship services intended to help individuals and families plan and give thoughtfully. CFRโs stewardship offerings include Giving Funds (donor-advised funds), charitable gift annuities, legacy planning, and support for capital campaigns and generosity initiatives. These services are positioned to help donors organize charitable giving, plan long-term generosity, and support ministries across the United States.
People can engage with CFR in several practical ways: churches and ministries can explore financing for property purchase, refinance, or construction needs; individuals can consider investment and IRA options; and donors can establish Giving Funds or explore legacy and planned giving tools. CFR also publishes resources and updates through its website, including organizational information, program details, and reporting materials.
