Our Community

City First sees the market through the eyes of our customers.

Our relationship doesn't end with a loan - it begins with one. We play the role of advisor, critic and cheerleader, so that every customer can reach his or her true potential.

Please look at the Success Stories, Baptist Awards and Annual Report pages that follow to see how dollars invested in City First can make a difference.

While we're always looking to expand the types of businesses, organizations and individuals we serve, we have three primary lending niches:

  1. Commercial real estate lending
    for the acquisition and renovation of affordable housing and urban retail and office locations
  2. Nonprofit facility and working capital lending
    including day care centers, homeless shelters, charter schools, special-needs housing and faith-based organizations
  3. Small business lending
    to neighborhood businesses
