Get to Know Trinity

Stephen J. Ferrandi

Trinity Director Stephen J. Ferrandi grew up in the church business.  His father, Anthony Ferrandi, founded Church Restoration Services—a company specializing in the renovation and restoration of religious properties—and a young Stephen spent plenty of time learning the family business, eventually working his way from water boy to laborer to president of the family’s multi-million-dollar business.  With his construction background, Stephen likes to quip that he literally understands houses of worship from foundation to steeple (or minaret or cupola!).

When Stephen’s father retired in 1995 and the family closed the firm, Stephen parlayed his construction expertise into a successful real estate practice, helping congregations of all faiths buy houses of worship or purchase land on which to build.

Having worked with religious leaders, committees, and congregations for much of his career, Stephen identified a need in the religious market:  churches (particularly smaller ones) didn’t always have the time or the expertise to carryout all the work necessary to the support their membership and funding efforts.  Responding to this need, Stephen, along with his partner, Barbara Bindon, launched Trinity Church Management, a firm that understands the distinctive needs of religious groups and can provide uniquely-tailored support solutions.
