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 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.
