Investments / Success Stories

Church Projects

"We, at Starratt Road Christian Church, have been blessed by the CFR ministry. CFR provided the original loan to our "mother church" (North Shore). That loan was transferred to us, and CFR has provided three additional loans. The latest venture was a family center and the remodeling of our existing buildings. Our church has also invested it savings with CFR to benefit other churches the way they have supported us over the years. Many of our members have invested their savings and IRA's to assist this great ministry. It has been a real blessing to us and we look forward to working with them in the future."

—Allan J. McMillan, Minister
Starratt Road Christian Church (Jacksonville, FL)
“If it weren’t for CFR, we never would have gotten into our new building. Our attendance was averaging 450 during snowbird season in a building that could only hold 150 per service. Something had to be done! Because of CFR, Adventure is now worshipping in its new structure that seats 450 per service, and hundreds will come to know the Lord because we were able to build it and get out of the way-too-small building we had been meeting in. We thank God for the people at CFR, and for their helpful spirit.”

—Doug Dykstra, Senior Minister
Adventure Christian Church (Tavares, FL)
"As we prepared to relocate onto 30 acres in the rapidly growing area of Trinity in Pasco County, we investigated many loan sources. After a highly successful capital campaign, we decided to partner with CFR for the loan portion of our relocation budget. We changed our name, from First Christian Church of Tarpon Springs to Generations Christian Church, but we haven't changed our message. The relocation project consists of the construction of four buildings totaling 57,521 square feet. These buildings include a worship center with a 1,000 seat auditorium, as well as, a “Third Place” gathering room; a preschool and children's building; a youth building for middle and high school students; and, a maintenance building. All facilities will be used for God’s glory, and we thank Him for providing gifts from members and a loan from CFR to make this happen."

—Hal Gumbiner, Finance Controller
Generations Christian Church (Trinity, FL)
"CFR provided $ 4.95 million in permanent financing for our new home in Safety Harbor on the northwest side of Tampa Bay. We are a body of 1,250 faith filled folks who love Jesus Christ and are working to lead people into a growing relationship with Him. We still find it a little hard to believe that we were able to purchase 40 acres of virgin land in the heart of Pinellas County. Our dream has been realized: Worshiping each week in an awesome 56,000-square-foot facility which God provided. God is good all the time!"

—Dean McSpadden, Business Administrator
