Bridging the gap in finance Golden Gate Finance
About Us
A compassionate team of church funding partners
At Golden Gate Finance, we’re passionate about helping churches start on the right path with proper funding and project management. Do you have a dream to establish or expand a church? We’re here to assist in taking your project vertical.
So many banks are limiting their approval of church-related loans. This makes it more and more difficult for church founders to get much-needed capital to help their communities. Together, we can work together for the upbuilding of God's kingdom.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about applying for a church loan
Do you specialize in church loans?
Many financial experts recommend that you work with a lender who specializes in church loans, so it’s no surprise that this is a common question we receive. At Golden Gate Finance, we focus exclusively on church loans, and we offer in-house processing and underwriting without any upfront fees. You’ll benefit from our specialized experience and passion for helping churches get started from the ground up.
How long does the loan application process take?
After receipt and review of the necessary documents for final submission, an approval/commitment can be issued within 2-3 weeks.
How much money do I really need?
The answer to this will depend on your church’s specific needs. Our loans typically range from $500,000 to $25,000,000. Loans below $500,000 and above $25,000,000 are considered on a case by case basis. If you aren’t sure how much capital to apply for, contact us and we will personally guide you through the process.
