Our History
Church Extension Plan was founded in 1950 by the Superintendent of the Oregon District of the Assemblies of God. Today, we are organized and operated by member districts of the Assemblies of God.
At the heart of each of our transactions is a spirit of win-win partnership, which often takes us “outside the box” of a traditional financial institution. We’re encouraged to stretch with (and for) a ministry organization that requires a creative financial solution whenever it is fiscally prudent to do so. We are blessed to develop these partnerships through our service to districts and churches, families and individuals.
