Hello C3 Family!

Weekly Rant - Finally...

It is has been a long time coming, but Christ Centered Capital is finally a non-profit entity. The process was very long due to legal complications and finding the right "fits." Apparently, the combination of financial philosophy and religious objectives are two things the powers at be do not want comingled. Also, transitioning C3 from a stock picking website to a website that does everything for free through a wrench into the system. Anyways, I am glad that it is done! 

Any donations made from now until the end of the year will help us copy edit the book, get it formatted, design the cover art, get it printed and finally distributed. 

If you would like a donation receipt for contributions already made to C3 then please reach out to us at support@christcenteredcapital.com.
