The Nexus of Money & Mission

Our Mission

The mission of the Church Building & Loan Fund

(CB&LF) is to assist congregations younger than 30

years, as well as renewing congregations of any

age, who are planning to buy either a first house of

worship or a land site, or who want to build,

renovate, or refinance their church building, meeting

house, school, parsonage and/or other church

buildings.
