About CEFCore

Modernizing Church Fund Management

CEFCore was founded with a singular mission: to give Church Extension Funds the same caliber of financial technology that large commercial banks use -- without the complexity or cost.

Too many CEFs are held back by decades-old software, manual spreadsheets, and disconnected systems that create risk and drain staff time. We believe that the organizations funding church growth deserve better tools.

Our team combines deep expertise in faith-based lending, financial technology, and cloud infrastructure. We understand the unique regulatory, operational, and relational requirements that make CEFs different from commercial lenders.
