Church Growth Investment Fund By The Numbers:

What To Know

We believe in Jesus Christ and His redemptive mission, so we believe in His church as His plan to reach the world through the Gospel.

The financial resources invested in the Fund are:

  • Pooled to underwrite first and second mortgage loans to churches, missions and agencies affiliated with the Florida Baptist Convention.
  • These loans help these ministries to purchase, build, renovate or refinance their facilities.
  • The loan interest paid back is used to pay interest earned to investors and is also reinvested in Kingdom causes.

We help members of Florida Baptist Convention churches, like you, turn cash into an investment that does just this while providing a competitive return to further your unique Kingdom impact.  CGIF is the best cash management solution to maximize the resources in your reserve or savings account while moving the Gospel Mission forward in the state of Florida. Whether you need liquidity or income we have solutions to meet your goals while impacting His Kingdom.

I didn’t have to convince them to lend us money, that’s usually how other lenders work. CGIF was working to convince ME that they could assist us. It was amazing.
