Church Builders Plus is committed to providing resources for your church.  We seek to find you the best lending source to fit your church project.  Working with a number of strategic lending partners, our professionals are experienced in every aspect of lending, from refinancing existing debt, new church construction loans or issuing bonds.

Through the years of helping churches successfully fund their projects, we’ve accumulated practical knowledge and experience to help answer some important questions:

  1. How much can my church borrow?
  2. What are the funding pitfalls to avoid?
  3. What are the various financing alternatives?

If you would like to discuss any of these topics or just find out your debt capacity, just e-mail or call Mindy Lathan, Loan Officer, 765.644.2555 Ext. 248, mlathan@cbplus.org

Most people think giving is just a financial issue.  However, our experience shows that giving starts in the heart, not the checkbook.  Church Builders Plus provides a tailored campaign focused on a spiritual experience of faith building not church building.  Utilizing Biblical principles, a proven organized approach and sensitivity to a church’s specific needs, we help maximize the giving and serving potential of a congregation.

We will seek to:

  • Understand your church's unique culture, vision, and challenges.
  • Conduct your campaign as a positive, inspiring experience with sensitivity to your church’s
    values and needs.
  • Maximize your church's giving potential.
  • Cast a vision that encouraging broad congregational involvement.

The campaign objective is to raise the maximum funds through a spiritual growth experience, without the use of high pressure or offensive methods.  We are committed to using the highest ethical and effective principles at the lowest practical cost.

Additional values of the capitol fund campaign for your church are:

  • Communicates the church's mission
  • Involves many people
  • Discovers new leadership
  • Provides needed resources
  • Leads to spiritual renewal

Together we can make the campaign all of what God wants it to be.  During this journey, funds are raised, lives are changed and the church is renewed through a powerful positive effort.

There are periods in a church’s life that require an unbiased look in the mirror with an outside point of view.  Our church consultation is a healthy exercise in visioning with church leaders and dealing with complex issues regarding church property, facilities and relocation issues.  A consultant will spend three days on-site and give a professional evaluation of facilities, property, location and other items important to the growing ministries of the church.

This three-day event is an opportunity for your leaders to see themselves, your church, your community and God in new and exciting ways.  A Church Consultation is a healthy exercise that helps bring clarity and direction to many questions:

  • How do we deal with over crowded facilities?
  • Should we expand? Remodel? Relocate?
  • Are we effectively using the space we already have?
  • Can we afford to do this?

Often these nuts and bolt questions lead to deeper, soul-searching questions:

  • Who is God calling us to be?
  • What is God calling our church to do?
  • What are the needs of the community?
  • Will this project strengthen our ministry and mission?

We will seek to gain insight and background from pastoral staff and church leaders.  A written report of the Consultant’s on-site observations and suggestions will be provided two to three weeks after the Consultation weekend.

Frequently this consultation step is recommended before a church embarks on a Capital Fund Campaign since a primary factor in the success of a campaign is being certain the church understands the vision and has ownership in developing its implementation.
