In a recent release, Gordon Gilles, President of the United Church of Christ Cornerstone announced:

For the first time in our history the loan portfolio has exceeded $50,000,000!

As of December 31, 2008, the $51,157,910.94 loan portfolio consists of 174 loans which are spread among 33 of our 38 Conferences. From our humble beginning in September, 1993 through 2008 much has been accomplished.

The United Church of Christ Disabilities Ministries refers churches to Cornerstone as a potential financial resource when planning to build or adapt a building to become accessible and welcoming to all people.

Such inclusion is a goal of the denomination as mandated by the accessibiity resolution, “Becoming an Accessible to All,” accepted by the 2005 General Synod.

Congratulations Cornerstone Fund and Thank You.
