National City Christian Church Foundation, which is an organization that holds in trust, preserves and maintains the physical facilities of the church, discovered the importance of going green. In addition to the renovations made through capital campaigns, National City Christian Church Foundation took out a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.disciplescef.org\/borrow\/renovation-loans\/#green-loans\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Green Loan<\/a> with Disciples Church Extension Fund (DCEF), which offers eco-friendly loans to Disciples ministries that are interested in creating projects that have a positive impact on the environment. National City Christian Church Foundation received the loan to replace more than 800 fluorescent light fixtures with energy-efficient LED fixtures in National City\u2019s facilities. With this simple change of light fixtures, it is estimated that National City\u2019s annual energy savings will reach approximately USD $26,000.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cWe are pleased that the DCEF Green Loan contributed to National City Christian Church Foundation experiencing such a tremendous energy savings,&#8221; said <a href=\"mailto:wjsinger@disciplescef.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bill Singer<\/a>, vice president of DCEF. &#8220;This is a notable example of the tremendous impact that Green Loans have on promoting an eco-friendly environment,\u201d he said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<hr \/>\n<p><em>DCEF supports congregations in building and maintaining environmentally friendly places of worship.
