Certificates of Participation
North Carolina Baptist Financial Services offers investment opportunities to residents of or organizations headquartered in North Carolina, who are also individual members of a North Carolina Baptist congregation or organizations affiliated with the Baptist Denomination in North Carolina. This program is known as our Certificates of Participation and offers investors the opportunity to receive a competitive return on their investment while those funds, in turn, assist us in the financing of new or existing Baptist churches and other Baptist entities in North Carolina.
The proceeds invested in the Certificates of Participation are pooled to underwrite first mortgage loans to churches and other Baptist entities in North Carolina. As God’s Kingdom in North Carolina continues to grow, so the loan demand continues to grow. If you invest, your deposits will help to fund these loans, which are underwritten using our own underwriting guidelines.
