Update on two of CFR's 22 active construction projects,  Church Contractor Scorecard 
Meet Aaron Bates, new investment promotion, and more

CFR Email Newsletter: September 2016
This month, Christian Financial Resources set a record with 22 active construction projects in process. Thanks to you and your investment, CFR is helping more churches build in September of 2016 than at any time in our history.  Tens of thousands of people attend churches that CFR has funded each weekend! 

Thank you for funding ministry and changing lives. Keep reading for just two examples of the 22 current projects!
Ezell-Harding Christian School (Tennessee)
At a time when many Christian schools are struggling, Ezell-Harding Christian School in Antoich, Tennessee (near Nashville) is making some high-impact, low-cost improvements to its campus over the next two years. This project is designed to help the school attract more students and make an even greater difference within the community.
 
Your investment at CFR is funding ministry and changing lives for children and teenagers in Tennessee! Thank you.

Lakeside Christian Church (Kentucky)
Lakeside Christian Church is an established, thriving congregation that will celebrate its 50th anniversary in 2017. Over the past few years, CFR helped Lakeside establish and renovate its two satellite campuses. Now, the congregation is making some much-needed improvements to its main campus, including the worship center (pictured above). 

Remarkably, Lakeside is still using this worship area on Sunday mornings; the contractor removes the horizontal supports each weekend and the congregation weaves into their seats between the poles.
 
Your investment at CFR is helping Lakeside Christian Church fulfill its mission to "Love Jesus and love like Jesus." 

Free Church Contractor Scorecard

Is your church preparing to begin a construction project? One of the most important decisions you will make is choosing a contractor. In fact, one of the most common questions churches ask our construction management team is, "How do we select the best contractor?"
 
While cost is clearly important, there are many other aspects to choosing your contractor that are harder to quantify. Our free Church Contractor Scorecard will help your building committee evaluate architects, designers, engineers, and construction managers.
