Why Was FOUNDATION FIRST Established?

Greg Retzlaff founded Foundation First after leading two of his own churches through building programs. Using his experience and talents, he developed a mechanism to forecast a picture of his church’s future finances to help them judge the affordability of various building alternatives. He later realized that most churches have no specific method or tool to determine the affordability of a facility expansion. Seeing the value his tool offered to his congregation and the usefulness to the building committee, he decided that other churches would benefit from his advisory experience and the tools he created. As a result, Mr. Retzlaff founded Foundation First for the purpose of providing these forecasting tools and services to as many churches as possible to expand the Kingdom.
