At the crossroad of decisions, beliefs can become clearer. Will this financial choice support my values, our values and the priorities of God’s Kingdom?
The cross of Christ has always been central to all we do at CIF and has been part of several of our logos for decades. But does everyone see it in our current logo? The new sequence of images in our Kingdom Focus email header makes it clearer.
The cross takes ethics to a higher level, to expansion of God’s Kingdom and working closely together as His people. CIF incorporates Christian values in all we do – as a lender, a resource for impactful investments and as a trusted partner to churches.

And so, we love to be part of helping churches and ministries proclaim Him more boldly in their communities!
