CORD, Inc.

In 2021, we purchased CORD, Inc., making Entegra the leading GPO and business performance partner for faith-based communities.

Founded in 1993, CORD has served thousands of churches, camps, schools, missions, and other ministries across the United States. Today, we are able to introduce more faith-based clients to some of the most experienced and dedicated experts in the field — allowing ministries to benefit from greater guidance on savings and guest experience.
