About CDF Capital

Helping Churches Grow Since 1953

We believe that every person is on a spiritual journey of transformation, and the best place for that journey to happen is in God's Church.

Church growth, however, is about more than just attendance - it is about discipling spiritually maturing believers, creating a culture of healthy leadership, and exercising sound financial stewardship.

We call this Transformational Capital.
