Our History
We are the oldest institution of our kind in the United States, founded in 1853 to support the mission of church renewal. More than 160 years, the mission of United Church of Christ Church & Building Loan Fund is as relevant as ever.
Our Vision
Our vision is to transform communities by helping the Church live into God’s economy. We assist new and renewing congregations of the United Church of Christ—and other Christian denominations in the United States—with programs and services that help a congregation plan, raise, finance, and build projects, including property and social enterprises, that advance the mission of the church.
“
In this critical time, there is great urgency for the church to show up as the transformational presence that will usher in what Jesus in his day called the ‘kingdom of Heaven’—and what we refer to today as the ‘economy of God.’”
Rev. Dr. Patrick Duggan, Executive Director, United Church of Christ Church Building & Loan Fund
