As part of this commitment, we feel a significant obligation to constantly search out Christian vendors who offer those goods and services our clients require to move their plans from mere “motion” to effective “action.”

Refer to these web sites, where applicable for you, and then ask your Vision Planners Consultant for more information. Be sure to visit this site often, as we are constantly adding to it.

Cornerstone Ministries Investments, Inc.
Finally, there is a solution for young churches when traditional lenders are unable or unwilling to lend to growing but ‘too new to meet lending criteria’ organizations. Cornerstone was created to assist churches and other non-profits to purchase or build the facilities needed to achieve their missions and goals while they are in their most formative and fertile years. Using its own funds, often in concert with financing from banks or other investors, Cornerstone has developed a unique approach to providing financing for these borrowers and even locating the specific property that best fulfills their vision. Cornerstone is not a long-term lender in these properties; rather, it seeks to provide a bridge to qualification for more conventional financing.

The Genesis Group
One of the issues most of our clients face is the ongoing need to develop giving at all levels - regardless of whether they are a local church or nonprofit religious organization. Frequently, a capital project or budget shortfall causes excessive attention on one or the other. The successful organization, over the long haul, must have a strategy to develop the full spectrum of giving: annual, capital and planned. We have reviewed the consulting services offered in the arena of capital campaign consulting and heartily recommend the Genesis Group.
