Member Loan Opportunity
Last Sunday, the Lord continued to clearly lead our church family into the future through our vote to affirm the purchase of the adjacent land. Our bank is willing to increase our existing loan to cover the purchase price; however, we have had good success in the past using member loans instead of a bank loan, and if possible we would like to do this again. The member loans pay 5% interest and the term can be as little as one year.
If you are interested in helping in this way, please contact Charles Naselli for full details. We need loan commitments by August 30 and funding in mid-October. Of course, if you would like to make a gift towards the land purchase, that reduces the amount of money we will need to borrow.
