To Whom It May Concern,

I would like to express my sincere thanks to Marvin Hoeflinger and the staff of professionals at Church Consultin Services (CCS) for enabling Shalom Church to secure favorable financing for our church construction project.

We engaged Church Consulting Services when our building project was at a crucial point in terms of securing financing to meet our needs. CCS brought together a team of financing experts from several disciplines and we were able to accomplish in a very short time what typically takes 12-18 months.

Our expectations were not only met but exceeded by the team assembled. Therefore, we are pleased to recommend CCS services to congregations requiring significant capital financing for their building projects.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to call me or our project chairperson, Deacon Sylvester Payne at (314) 731-8080.

Sincerely,

Rev. Dr. F. James Clark
