Borrowing for church growth

When your congregation is ready to borrow for a new capital project or to refinance existing high cost debt, call on us. The Presbyterian Investment & Loan Program originates millions of dollars for church lending each year, drawing upon the General Assembly's endowment (Church Loan Program) funds, investments provided by Presbyterian investors and banking partners.

Loan funds are available to qualifying congregations at low cost. There are no originating fees or points, and no pre-payment penalties for General Assembly loans. Our Get the Point! rebate program reduces the cost of borrowing for many congregations and presbyteries.

Building together from God's Abundance

The Presbyterian Investment & Loan Program provides low-cost loan funds to churches and governing bodies for new buildings, renovation, repairs and site purchases.  These funds are made possible by endowments given to the denomination over the years and by Presbyterian investors.  This 10-minute video explains how the program works and the services available to our borrowers.

General Assembly's Get the Point! Rebate Program

If your church loan is originated with funds provided by the Presbyterian Investment and Loan Program's investors and banking partners, it is eligible to receive an interest rate rebate through the Get the Point! rebate program. The maximum rebate can reduce the interest cost charged on your loan by as much as 1 percent.

Here's how:

When your congregation receives a loan from the Presbyterian Investment & Loan Program, a rate is set for that loan for a given period of time. The session informs members and friends of the congregation about the Presbyterian Investment & Loan Program, its investment opportunities and how investing can save your church money

  • Once designated investments equal 35 percent of the congregation's outstanding loan balance, one-quarter-of -one percent (0.25 percent) of the mortgage rate is rebated for each month the 35 percent mark is maintained.
  • When 50 percent is achieved, 1/2 of 1 percent is rebated for each month the 50 percent mark is maintained.
  • When 75 percent is achieved, 3/4 of 1 percent is rebated for each month the 75 percent mark is maintained.
  • When designated investments reach 100 percent of the congregation's loan balance, one full percentage point (1.0 percent) is rebated for each month the 100 percent mark is maintained.

Since the rebate ratio is calculated on a loan's declining balance, almost every loan eventually receives a full, one percentage point rebate.

So, What's the Point?

Over the life of the loan, your congregation could save thousands of dollars through the purchase of Presbyterian Investment & Loan Program Notes. Compounded year after year, these savings could pay for an extra church classroom or support new mission. It will allow members of your congregation and others to participate in your building program through the purchase of investment notes.
