When paired with healthy budgeting practices and a humble leadership team, church loans can be extremely helpful in facilitating necessary expansions or improvements to church buildings.  However, it is important for church leaders to be aware of these various dynamics in institutional lending before taking on a church loan.

Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ gives all of us access to arenas in which we can have eternal impact. Some days we are successful with our efforts to fight the good fight of faith. Other days, our lack of faith discourages our efforts. The most important thing is that we be strong, stay in the arena and continue the good fight of faith.

The context of your church determines your church’s relevancy in the community and the methods of your church ministry. Context will dictate your church’s unique strategy to effectively permeate the community.

Churches that adapt and pivot can thrive as a result of what they have learned and embraced from the Pandemic.
