The Loan Fund makes mortgage loans and unsecured loans to Christian Reformed Churches.
Mortgage Loans
The Loan Fund makes mortgage loans in amounts up to $1,500,000 to Christian Reformed Churches for the purchase of facilities or land, the construction or remodeling of a facility, and, when funds are available, the refinancing of existing debt.
Any organized Christian Reformed Church in the United States that meets the Loan Fund’s underwriting criteria is eligible for these loans. The Loan Fund generally offers only variable rate loans.
