Does Your Church Need a Loan?
The Iowa United Methodist Church Building Fund Trust makes loans to local churches for the purposes of building new buildings, renovating existing facilities, repairs, purchasing land or parsonage. The Trust will also refinance high-interest loans. The loan usually carries a better loan rate than commercial institutions offer.
To apply for a loan contact Dave Harner – 515-974-8928 or david.harner@iaumc.org.
