CCFS and BFS join together to better serve Australian churches and ministries

We are delighted to confirm that Churches of Christ Financial Services (CCFS) and Baptist Financial Services Australia Limited (BFS) have agreed to a merger date of 1 December 2024.

Clients wanting to continue with CCFS are required to opt-in and you should now have received correspondence both via Australia Post and email providing the required opt-in documentation. For wholesale and associated clients such as churches, church-based ministries and ministers, the process should simply be a matter of checking a box, signing a form and returning it to CCFS. For non-associated or retail clients, a Client Acknowledgement Form will also need to be signed.

Your help in returning these forms as soon as possible would be appreciated. We believe that we are better together.

The merger enables:

  1. Increased resourcing and financial support to Churches of Christ
  2. Ongoing access to a large and expanding pool of loan funding for church development.
  3. Surpluses generated from CCFS accounts will fund ongoing grants to Churches of Christ state offices.
  4. Greater benefits from improved economies of scale

Many thanks to all our clients that have already returned the opt-in form and to all clients for partnering with CCFS to enable Christian ministries to thrive.
