FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FOR CHURCHES

Building and Loan Fund

The Building and Load Fund’s purpose is to promote, encourage, assist, and, in any manner, aid the establishment, building, remodeling, maintenance, repair, location and/or relocation of Congregational Christian Churches which are members of the NACCC. Churches may apply for low interest loans.  The NACCC seeks and encourages contributions to the fund so that it may extend assistance to an increasing number of Churches. 

To learn more about your eligibility for these loans and the terms of participation, please contact the NACCC office.

John Richard Memorial Endowment

John Richard was an avid and gifted musician whose appreciation for the musical arts was a source of inspiration for many.  The John Calvin Richard Memorial Endowment was established by his family as a loving and living memorial to him. His love for music and theater performance was a large part of his talented but short life.   The Endowment awards annual grants of up to $500 to National Association member Churches of 200 members or less which are planning a Fine or Performing Arts event in their Church.  Application deadline is April 15, 2021 and funds must be used by April 1, 2022.
