Improve your building with a church renovation loan from DCEF.
Whether you’re improving your facility to better serve your ministries or simply making it more accessible for your people, Disciples Church Extension Fund can help by providing an affordable church renovation loan.
Accessibility loans
Make your church accessible to more people.

- Ramps and exterior entrances
- Elevators
- Restrooms
- Sensory packages (e.g., lighting and sound)
- Chancels
- Baptistries
- Vans
- Playground and childcare equipment
Green loans
Care for God's creation by “going green”
Disciples Church Extension Fund supports congregations in building and maintaining environmentally friendly places of worship. We provide green loans of up to $150,000 to churches that want to:
- Upgrade heating/air conditioning systems
- Replace or repair inefficient windows
- Insulate, rewire or weatherproof a facility
- Improve operations that contribute to a more energy-efficient building
“From a church leader perspective, any congregation that is looking at doing HVAC replacement or any other kind of remodeling that affects the carbon footprint, should get in touch with their regional DCEF advisor and really consider how the Green Loan can be utilized in the church."
