Church Resource Ministries

Church Resource Ministries

Church Resource Ministries was established with roots in The Navigators ministry dating to 1980. Mark Thrash became President on January 1, 2023 after prior service as Director of Partner Development. The organization maintains its headquarters in Anaheim, California and operates under the Novo Mission name while preserving its original legal structure. Resources support leadership development programs, church planting, and related field operations. Asset classes include direct ownership of mission properties and grant deployment rather than traditional securities or private equity. Confirmed holdings encompass the Anaheim headquarters plus mixed-use and residential sites in Honduras and Guatemala. Geographic reach centers on the United States together with Central America. The Signatry / Servant Foundation appears as a recurring co-investor through donor-advised fund grants. The board includes Keith Uebele, retired Intel executive and board member since 1995, alongside Jon Brantingham of BMF Group Holdings and commercial real estate professional Caleb Farnworth. David Terry participates on the Finance Committee and Investment Team. No public AUM figure exists. The organization has held membership in the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability since February 1982. Governance separates operating ministry activities from investment oversight through a dedicated Finance Committee. Board composition draws from business and legal backgrounds without a single-family principal. This structure channels capital exclusively into mission-aligned grants and properties rather than external fund commitments or co-investments with third-party managers.
