A Community Development Corporation (CDC) can be a powerful vehicle to enhance a church or local community by aligning economic, social, and spiritual goals for a broader impact.

OUR MISSION.

  • Scenic landscape featuring a large lake with turquoise water, rolling green hills, and rugged mountains with cloudy sky in the background.

    Expand Community Impact

    Affordable Housing: CDCs can develop or renovate housing for low-income families, seniors, or transitional populations, directly addressing a common community need.

    Job Training & Employment: They can create workforce development programs that uplift the community economically, especially for youth or underemployed adults.

    Small Business Support: CDCs often provide technical assistance, microloans, or incubator space for local entrepreneurs.

  • A mountain landscape with snowy peaks in the background, rolling green and brown hills in the middle ground, and a modern building with large windows and stone walls on the hill in the foreground.

    Strengthen Church Mission

    Ministry Beyond the Sanctuary: A CDC allows the church to carry out its mission in tangible, measurable ways—feeding the hungry, sheltering the homeless, and supporting families.

    Grant Access: Many public and private funding sources are available to CDCs, which may not be accessible to churches directly due to separation of church and state.

    Outreach Infrastructure: A CDC can serve as the nonprofit arm of a church, formalizing community services like food pantries, youth programs, or financial literacy workshops.

  • A modern wooden building with a large glass window set against a mountainous landscape with dry grass and small trees in the foreground.

    Foster Local Partnerships

    Public-Private Collaborations: A CDC can partner with city governments, schools, hospitals, or local businesses to address systemic issues like health disparities or food deserts.

    Educational Programs: Partnering with local schools or early literacy nonprofits, CDCs can bring tutoring, after-school programs, or parenting education into the community.

    Health & Wellness: Through partnerships with clinics or health organizations, a CDC can address mental health, nutrition, and preventive care access.

  • A modern wooden house on a grassy hillside with a lake and mountain range in the background.

    Preserve Culture & Promote Civic Engagement

    Community Planning: CDCs often lead neighborhood revitalization efforts that preserve cultural heritage and engage residents in shaping their own future.

    Advocacy Platform: They provide a structured way to advocate for policy changes or infrastructure improvements on behalf of the community.

    Community Ownership: By involving residents in decision-making and board leadership, CDCs foster local empowerment and resilience.

  • Modern house on a hillside with a field of tall grass and mountains in the background.

    Economic Development and Sustainability

    Real Estate & Property Development: Churches or communities with land can leverage it through a CDC for multi-use buildings, community centers, or retail spaces that create revenue and services.

    Sustainable Revenue: Unlike a church’s tithes, a CDC can generate income through development projects, social enterprise, and government contracts, supporting long-term sustainability.
