Cultivating clarity and transparency in Christian investing.

We provide independent education and research designed to help Christians think more carefully about stewardship, responsibility, and the impact of their investing decisions.

Mission and vision

What guides our work.

We see a world where Christians invest to express and advance God’s heart for all people.

We believe this vision will require thoughtful frameworks, intellectual honesty, and a willingness to ask difficult questions.

The CIC was established to provide actionable resources rooted in the Christian faith and informed by ecumenical consensus, enabling stewards to align their investing with the beliefs, character, and mission of the Christian faith.

We recognize that Christians approach investing questions with different convictions, traditions, and priorities. The CIC seeks to encourage careful discernment, shared wisdom, and transparent evaluation while remaining grounded in a broad commitment to faithful stewardship aligned with historic Christian belief and practice.

Values

Faithfulness

We seek to honor the Triune God and his word in how we serve Christian investors. Faithfulness signifies our commitment to serve investors in ways that honor the purposes of the Father, the mission of the Son, and the empowering of the Holy Spirit.

Transparency

We seek to communicate openly regarding our beliefs, methods, and decisions. Transparency signifies our commitment to maintain verifiable accountability and integrity in our operations, communications, and evaluation of investments.

Independence

We seek to educate investors without favoritism for any entity or product. Independence signifies our commitment to ensure that our evaluations and publications are fair, disinterested, and impartial.

Beliefs

Ecumenical, and anchored in the Nicene Creed.

Our published documents, such as the CIC Statement on Christian Investing, represent our commitment to the Christian faith, expressed in the Nicene Creed and historically applied to financial markets through Christian tradition.

We recognize a variety of viewpoints on specific issues within this history and are not seeking to impose uniformity in cases where authentic Christian beliefs have historically varied. However, where the Christian tradition reflects more unity, we seek to uphold that unity.

What we do.

Standards

We help foster thoughtful collaboration and shared standards across the Christian investing ecosystem, encouraging responsible leadership, clearer communication, and stronger public trust.

Product evaluation

We provide independent research and evaluation designed to bring greater transparency and accountability to products marketed within the Christian investing space.
