Our e-newsletter offers a quick look at how your investment is at work, sharing project updates, behind-the-scenes insights, and stories from the churches we support together.

In 2025, a few churches in our TFSA and RRSP portfolios reached an important milestone of paying off their mortgage. To better serve our investors, we solved an operational constraint that improved how funds are allocated across registered portfolios, minimizing idle cash and keeping capital meaningfully at work.

 

Since late 2025, this adjustment has allowed us to deploy approximately $1.5M of additional mortgages into the TFSA portfolio and $3M of additional mortgages into the RRIF portfolio.

 

Changes like this don’t always show up immediately in rates, but they improve the overall strength and flexibility of the portfolio. They also allow us to balance the rates of returns across our investment offerings.

 

Most importantly, these improvements keep investor capital actively invested in church-focused lending.

 

Thank you for partnering with us.

Christians are looking more and more for ways to ensure their investments reflect their values without compromising a thoughtful, diversified investment portfolio.

 

Here are three practical ways to begin:

 

Aligning your investments with your faith doesn’t mean overhauling your entire portfolio.

 

Many investors begin by allocating a portion of their portfolio to faith-based investments, while maintaining diversification across their broader portfolio.

 

It’s a measured, intentional step; not an all-or-nothing decision.

 

You may have come across ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) or other “values-based” investing approaches.

 

These strategies often focus on screening out certain industries or behaviours. While that can be helpful, it’s only part of the picture.

Faith-based investing takes it a step further:

 

One of the most meaningful differences in faith-based investing is where your money actually goes.

 

Rather than simply holding shares in large public companies, Stewards investments are structured to directly support evangelical churches and ministry expansion across Canada.

 

This creates a more visible and tangible connection between your investments and your faith.

Since the start of our fiscal year (July 2026), we’ve received more than $102 million in mortgage requests from churches and ministries seeking mortgage financing. The need is significant--and growing.

 

If you know someone who is passionate about supporting churches through meaningful, faith-based investments, or know of a church in need of financing, we invite you to forward this e-newsletter to them.

 

By sharing, you’re helping more people partner with churches to advance God’s Kingdom together.
