Partners
We see partnership as critical to our mission. We partner with churches, organizations, and individuals throughout the St. Louis region who are dedicated to a cross-cultural ministry.
We connect in congregations with outreach-minded small groups and members, and use these connections to build relationships for servant events. Our intentional focus on linking CFNA with cross-cultural church workers is important to our ongoing work with immigrants and refugees.
If you or your congregation or association would like to learn more about partnering with CFNA, please email us for more information.
Financial Transparency
CFNA regularly publishes financial reports to preserve financial transparency. If you have any questions, please contact us.
