The winds of change are bringing new energy to The Solomon Foundation, a cherished part of the Parker community since 2010. With excitement in the air, the nonprofit is preparing to welcome a fresh face to the helm. Josh Means officially stepped into the CEO role on March 31, 2025, following in the footsteps of founding CEO Doug Crozier.
The Solomon Foundation (TSF) is more than just a financial organization, it’s a movement. A mission-driven partner to churches, TSF helps them flourish through investment opportunities and faith-centered funding solutions. Nestled at the corner of Jordan Road and Pine Lane, just across from Southeast Christian Church, TSF has left an indelible mark on churches nationwide. While their financial growth is remarkable—rising to over $1.25 billion in total assets—their true success lies in the lives they’ve touched, with partner churches baptizing over 110,000 people and welcoming 225,000 worshippers every Sunday.
Doug Crozier’s vision and unwavering faith have guided TSF since day one. Under his leadership, TSF has become the fastest-growing church extension fund in the nation, attracting more than 7,300 investors and funding over 800 churches. Now, as he transitions into his new role as CEO emeritus, he’s confident the future of TSF is bright.
“When we set out to find the next CEO, we knew we needed someone who wasn’t just qualified, but the right person for the job,” said Mike Nave, chairman of TSF’s board of directors. “Josh Means is exactly that person.”
Josh brings an impressive track record, blending financial expertise with a heart for ministry. He holds a degree in business and organizational leadership from Southern Nazarene University and attended Southern Methodist University’s graduate school of banking. His career spans corporate banking and faith-based financial leadership, making him uniquely suited to lead TSF into the future.
But Josh isn’t just a numbers guy—he’s a man of deep faith and strong family values. Raised in a household where faith was the foundation for four generations, he understands TSF’s mission on a personal level. He and his wife, Erin—a dentist in Sedalia, Mo.—share the joys of raising five children.
As he steps into this role, Josh is eager to build on the strong foundation Doug has laid while bringing fresh ideas and innovation to TSF. His vision is one of continued growth, stronger partnerships, and an ever-expanding impact. TSF will remain a pillar of the Parker community, offering a home to vital nonprofit ministries. Their headquarters—The Solomon Centre—houses nine nonprofit organizations, including a 26,000-square-foot food pantry, Christian counseling services, and faith-based initiatives. With the recent addition of a 27,000-square-foot office space, TSF is positioned for even greater impact.
Doug, who will remain actively involved in fostering relationships with churches and investors, couldn’t be more excited about the future.
“It’s been an incredible journey growing The Solomon Foundation into what it is today, and I couldn’t be more excited for what’s ahead with Josh at the helm,” Doug shares. “His vision and passion for growing God’s Kingdom make him the perfect person to take us forward.”
As TSF embarks on this next chapter, one thing is clear: its commitment to helping churches thrive and communities flourish remains as strong as ever. With Josh at the wheel and Doug continuing to provide guidance, the road ahead is paved with faith, purpose, and boundless opportunity.
