Join us October 14–15, 2026, for two days of learning, conversation, and practical guidance at our signature event Partners in Building.

This year's event will place a special emphasis on ministry in rural settings, while exploring ideas and actions that can help congregations in communities of all sizes and locations think differently about ministry, property, and the future.

We're looking forward to learning together and helping church leaders discover new possibilities for their congregations.

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.

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.

“

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
