Healthy Ministries… Healthy Borrowers. Ministry Financing Group is committed to serving the church lending community – both borrowers and lenders – to improve ministry health and reduce funding costs in this post 2008 environment. Prior to 2008, capital for loans was abundant and lenders were willing to factor in expected growth as they considered the loan requests of growing ministries. Since 2008, there are fewer dollars available for ministry loans and underwriting standards are tighter and changing. Healthy ministries – those that responsibly manage their finances as they pursue God’s calling – make the best borrowers. Today, ministries will benefit from having someone to guide them through the loan structure and application process. We can help to improve a church's financial profile to increase the quality of the financing choices available to them. We can help you if you are in one of the following situations:- Your ministry has been told by your existing lender that you do not qualify for low market rates- Your ministry has been told by lenders that you do not qualify for the full amount of financing that you need- Your ministry leadership has wondered whether you are managing your expenses and assets in a way that will qualify your ministry for the best available financing- Your ministry lacks the financial expertise to know what to change and how to change in order to improve the health of your ministry- You, as a lender, lack the resources or the specific market knowledge to improve the health of the ministry loans that you have in your portfolio
