These projects include land acquisitions, loan refinances, and/or the construction improvement of church buildings, parsonages, schools, and various other facilities operated by the congregations we serve. CONTACT US Our History Christian Financial Resources (CFR) is a not-for-profit Christ-centered organization that was incorporated in the state of Florida on July 3, 1980. Months earlier, visionary leaders from around the state gathered in central Florida to discuss the idea of forming a ministry that would assist churches with their financial needs. It became abundantly clear that many churches needed help—a partner of some sort—to finance land acquisitions and construction projects. These included new church worship areas, family life centers, parsonages and schools, as well as other facilities that help the body of Christ carry out the Great Commission. After the first meeting, a new ministry was born. “Funding Ministry... Changing Lives” From the pioneer days of the ministry to the frontiers of tomorrow, CFR’s purpose remains the same. The CFR slogan “Funding Ministry... Changing Lives,” sums it up. CFR carries out its purpose by receiving funds through investments and contributions, and subsequently loaning those funds at affordable rates to the independent Christian Churches and Churches of Christ and their associated ministries. A board of directors provides oversight for the ministry. Funding Ministry... Changing Lives For more than 40 years, CFR has expanded to meet the needs of the growing congregations it serves. The ministry provides consultation in the areas of stewardship, capital campaigns, budget creation, leadership, church growth, and staff development. CFR also leads disaster-relief efforts in the state of Florida, aiding Christian churches affected by hurricanes or suffering from other unexpected adverse circumstances. Meet Our Team Darren R.
