Congregations across the Presbytery often face a familiar challenge: a clear vision for ministry, education, and hospitality, but a building that can’t quite keep up. The Presbyterian Investment & Loan Program (PILP) exists to help close that gap.
PILP is a nonprofit agency of the General Assembly that partners with PC(USA) congregations nationwide, offering low-cost loans and financial project consultation for capital projects such as new construction, renovations, and refinancing existing debt. Unlike a traditional bank, PILP takes the time to understand a congregation’s leadership, history, and vision, not just its balance sheet.
PILP also offers an investment side to its ministry. Individuals, churches, and related entities can invest funds with PILP starting at just $500, earning interest while supporting low-cost lending to other PC(USA) congregations across the country. It’s a way to put savings to work for the broader mission of the church rather than a commercial bank’s bottom line.
Congregations exploring a building project can request a free consultation to help determine the right size and scope for their plans before applying for a loan.
Our congregations can connect directly with Linda Sharp, PILP’s Relationship Manager for our region, to talk through loan or investment options:
