Clergy Loan Program.
We come alongside clergy to bring freedom to the loan relationship that gives you room to minister effectively.
Clergy Loan for fall application is now open.
Financial processing and distribution of loans will be from December through January.
We are here to help.
The Clergy Loan Program was created out of the desire to help clergy and their families to escape paralyzing debt that can have a negative effect not only on the individual and family but also on relationships within the church family. Our hope is that through participation in this program clergy will find new and healthy opportunities to be stewards of the financial blessings God has provided.
The Foundation is pleased to work in partnership with the NC Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church, Wespath Benefits and Investments, and The Duke Endowment to offer the Clergy Loan Program.
