Church Loans
What is a Church Loan and Personal Guarantee?
A Church Loan is the specialized lending process religious organizations use to secure capital for major capital expenses as the purchase property, refinance existing debt, renovate facilities, expand ministry space, or support other major capital needs.
A Personal Guarantee is required when a lender wants to ensure the loan will be repaid even if the church itself fails or runs out of money. By signing it, you legally pledge your personal assets—like your savings, investments, or home—to cover the debt if the company defaults. For a smaller or younger churches with less than 2 years of operating history, the lender often require key board members or trustees to sign a personal guarantee.
