Church Loans
For generations, CIF has provided loans to help churches achieve their God-given goals, mission for Christ and Kingdom expansion
CIF lends exclusively to Evangelical Free Church of America and like-minded churches and related ministries for property-related projects and purchases. We offer faith-based support, significant expertise, and a mission-minded mentality. We are real partners for God’s Kingdom work ‑ where ministry comes first.
Your Kingdom goals are our Kingdom goals
The need to purchase, build on or improve a property can weigh heavily on a church and those tasked with these often once-in-a-generation decisions. Congregations are committed to ministry now and in the future. We at CIF understand this well. Stewardship is a central component, but expanding God’s Kingdom is the goal.
Our investors care about ministry
Impactful investments with CIF are ministry-focused and aligned with our mission of Kingdom expansion. Sales of Investment Certificates provide funds for our church lending program while earning interest.
