The United Church of Christ Church Building & Loan Fund
TRANSFORMING COMMUNITIES BY
HELPING the CHURCH LIVE INTO GOD'S ECONOMY.
The UCC Church Building & Loan Fund (CB&LF) assists new and renewing United Church of Christ congregations and other Christian congregations regardless of sect or denominational affiliation, that are planning to buy a first church building or land site, or who want to construct, renovate or develop a church building, school, parsonage or other church-owned real property that advances the mission of the Church.
CB&LF works exclusively with churches and church organizations that own or are seeking to own real property with the intention that through worship, service or other community enhancing, people-edifying and God-glorifying activity or use, the property will be dedicated to the advancement of the mission of Jesus Christ, explicitly and implicitly described in the New Testament as the Gospel.
God is still building, and we’re here to help.
The United Church of Christ Cornerstone Fund
joining together in faith to invest in and build community.
Since 1993, the Cornerstone Fund has served as a catalyst for ministries to thrive. By providing low cost, no-fee loans to churches and faith-based non-profits, we're helping them creating change in their communities. Our investing program offers an opportunity for individuals and organizations to take part in these projects — ranging from worship space renovations to transitional housing developments and everything in between.
When you invest with Cornerstone Fund, you are investing in church vitality, antiracism, climate care, and more.

The Pension Boards–United Church of Christ, Inc.
INVESTING IN THE SUSTAINABILITY & VITALITY OF MINISTRY
Every call to ministry is also a call to sustainability and self-care. As a nonprofit financial ministry, The Pension Boards–United Church of Christ, Inc. (PBUCC), along with our philanthropic partner, the United Church Board for Ministerial Assistance (UCBMA), serves those who serve the church—with care, clarity, and compassion.
Ministerial Resources
We support ministries so they can flourish and better serve their communities. Through financial guidance, leadership development, and crisis response, we offer practical tools and compassionate support. Our resources empower individuals and families to build financial wellbeing, equip leaders to nurture healthy congregations, and provide direct aid in times of need.
Retirement & Health Benefits
Ministry is a life of selfless service—and those who answer this call deserve enduring support. In partnership with UCC churches and organizations, we provide comprehensive benefits for clergy, lay employees, and caregivers in health and human services. These include:
A lifetime retirement income plan with employer, individual, and rollover contribution options
Health, dental, and vision coverage, including a Medicare Advantage plan for individuals 65 and over
Life and disability insurance
These benefits offer a secure foundation for wellbeing at every stage of life.
Stewardship & Legacy
Across the UCC, faithful leaders can make a lasting impact. Through UCBMA, we offer stewardship and legacy programs that sustain ministry and build a stronger future. From faithful giving and planned gifts to innovative partnerships, we help individuals and congregations invest in ministry for generations to come.
For over 100 years, The Christmas Fund—a special UCC offering—has provided emergency assistance and benefit supplements to clergy and lay employees. Planned giving ensures that UCBMA’s mission continues to strengthen financial security, equip leaders, and offer compassionate care well into the future.
