Church financing is different from standard commercial lending. Church leaders often need a lender that can understand ministry realities, uneven cash flow patterns, board decision-making, and the importance of clear communication throughout the process.
Griffin Church Loans focuses specifically on church lending. Our goal is to give churches practical guidance, realistic options, and a streamlined process from first review through closing.
Before reaching out, you may find it helpful to review our guide on how to get a church loan or use our church mortgage calculator to explore payment scenarios based on your financing need.
Our process is designed to help churches move quickly without unnecessary confusion.
Share your church's basic information and financing need. No full application required to start the conversation.
We review recent financials and supporting documents to understand the request and identify realistic loan options.
A loan specialist walks through available structures, likely terms, and any issues that need to be addressed early.
If the fit is strong, we guide your church through the application and closing process with clear communication at every stage.
To help us evaluate your request efficiently, churches should be prepared to provide the following:

Yes. Griffin works with churches on purchase, refinance, renovation, expansion, and construction-related financing needs.
No. Churches that want to discuss their situation first can start with a conversation. Contact us directly to speak with a loan specialist before submitting any paperwork.
Some churches come with more complexity than others — unusual ownership structures, prior financial difficulty, or unconventional properties. It is still worth having the conversation early so realistic options can be assessed.
Timing depends on the deal and the documentation provided, but Griffin's goal is to keep the process responsive and clear. Most initial inquiries receive a response quickly.
Recent financial statements, property details, and a short summary of the financing need are the best starting point. See the Documents to Prepare section above for the full list.
Whether your church is purchasing, refinancing, renovating, or planning its next step, Griffin Church Loans can help you review the situation and understand your options.
