Advice, trust, resources serving churches

Wise counsel and established trust between Christian Investors Financial and two churches in Pennsylvania have contributed to lasting, transparent relationships with communication at the center.

Senior Pastor Jack Wilson with Waterdam Church in Canonsburg connected with several CIF representatives at various conferences. His church took out a loan with CIF for renovations and an addition in recent years.

Much earlier, CIF advised his congregation to co-sign with a sister church to purchase its first building. CIF typically seeks a significant down payment for church loans, in many cases from funds contributed by church attendees through a capital campaign. Waterdam engaged CIF to help with just such a campaign. -more-

Q&A knowledge builder

Question: What are a couple of the ways that CIF minimizes risk when lending money to churches and ministries?

Answer: All of the loans CIF extends to churches and ministries are real-estate secured, meaning we place a lien on the property and require significant down-payment of their own cash before we lend to them. These are just a couple of the many ways we protect our financial strength and assure we minimize risk. We consider ourselves conservative in our approach, which benefits both the borrower and CIF, in that we don’t put a borrower’s ministry in jeopardy.
