About this directory

A church extension fund is a ministry-run lender that raises money from investors and lends it to churches and related ministries for buildings, land, renovations, and refinancing. Most are tied to a denomination or a network of congregations, and many have been lending to churches for decades.

This directory lists church extension funds in the United States and shows what each one publishes about itself: who it serves, where it is based, what products it lists, and where to find its disclosure documents. We gather that information from each fund's own website and link back to the source so you can check it.

If you are an investor, the directory helps you find funds and understand what you would be buying before you contact one. If you are a church or ministry, it helps you find lenders that work with your denomination. Nothing here is a recommendation, an offer, or a rating. Every fund describes itself, and the details that matter most, including rates, terms, and risks, are in the fund's offering circular.

Important information

CEF Core publishes this directory for information only. It is not an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, any security, and it is not investment, legal, tax, or lending advice. We are not an offeror of securities, a broker-dealer, or an investment adviser. Details come from each fund's own public pages. We have not independently verified them, and they may be incomplete or out of date. A listing is not an endorsement, rating, or recommendation, and listings appear in alphabetical order. Church extension fund notes are generally not FDIC or NCUA insured, and offerings may be available only in certain states and to certain investors. Confirm all details with the fund and read its current offering circular before you invest or apply.

Directory information only; not an offer or advice.

CEF Core sells software to church extension funds. Our relationship with a fund does not affect whether or where it appears in this directory, and listings are alphabetical.
