Securing Outside Financing

Helping you realize God's vision for your church also involves sound financial advice and making the best use of resources. We bring experience and expertise to help you:

• Plan for stewardship/capital campaigns.
• Develop appropriate financial information for stewardship and financing.
• Develop a project budget and cash flow needs analysis.
• Negotiate and secure funds for construction.
• Develop self-financing programs.
• Maintain a working budget for expansion.

Your church has a unique financial profile, with unique needs to finance your construction or renovation project.

Church Building Financial Services, Inc. has the experience and skill to analyze your situation and develop a sound financial plan to mobilize your ministry programs. Our consultants will project the building fund cash flow, before, during and after construction. We can pre-qualify your church for loans, negotiate the best terms from the lenders, and assist in the preparation of the extensive documentation required for a commercial loan. We can also help determine the equity and collateral position of your church's assets.

You also need to become aware of your savings capability, know all your options for raising the required funds, and understand the advantages and disadvantages of the various programs and campaigns.

"For which one of you, when he wants to build a tower, does not first sit down and calculate the cost, to see if he has enough to complete it?

Otherwise, when he has laid a foundation, and is not able to finish, all who observe it begin to ridicule him, saying, 'This man began to build and was not able to finish'."
(Luke 14:28-30)

The Lord implies that it's common sense to have a good financial plan before you begin to build. CBFS will prepare for you a sound financial structure to support the expected costs, before you begin to build.

You are invited to call Dennis Ehrman to discuss your church's capital financial plans.
