Passion
CFS' principals have a passion for serving churches with their building expansion plans. We are church real estate and building development experts. We understand church operations and finance. Our strategic planning gives you a clear view of the size and the total costs you can afford for your future building project. CFS’ passion aligns with its Principals’ personal values and goals.
Purpose
CFS helps you create new places for worship, teaching, fellowship and community outreach. We lead you and your church through the process of acquiring land to develop a new building or acquiring an existing building to renovate.
Problem Solving
The ability of churches to expand and relocate is becoming increasingly difficult to accomplish because land and building costs continue to skyrocket and some local governments are proactively excluding non-profit (non-taxpaying) users from their undeveloped subdivisions. In today's environment, finding the best solutions to a church's real estate needs often requires creative, outside-the-box thinking and execution. CFS provides you this highly specialized expertise.
Practical Experience
Since 2008, we've been involved with $150 million of church projects. In 2012, we created CFS to lead growing churches desiring to expand their footprint and seeking professional guidance. Whether you need to lease space in a shopping center, remodel your current building or acquire new property (existing building or undeveloped land), we are your guide, advocate and project quarterback.
Professional Assistance
CFS recommends that your church hire professional assistance for your church building expansion project. By doing so, you and your church staff are able to focus on what you do best - expand the kingdom. Utilizing church members to manage expansion projects is usually not the best solution to accomplish your church's objectives as this may lead to conflicts of interest that can harm long-standing relationships.
