Everything we do works toward seeing the Kingdom of God flourish in New Zealand. As the only charitable licensed non-bank deposit-taker in the country, finance is our means to that mission. For over 60 years, we've given people a way to invest ethically while helping organisations that are feeding the hungry, comforting the lonely, and redeeming broken parts of our society. Thousands have entrusted us with their savings, and through fair and affordable lending, we've empowered hundreds of Christian churches and charities to serve their communities
Our impactFrom our very first loan financing pews for a church, we now lend over $270m to Christian churches and charities. Our calling has grown larger as well. While serving as the go-to lender for the sector remains a core part of why we’re here, we are now an essential part of the infrastructure for Christian churches and charities seeking to embody Christ’s love and do amazing things. When they thrive we all thrive, so through capital and deep partnership, we’re here to help build foundations for the future.
We're committed to the hope the gospel brings. We seek to grow the Kingdom and bear a strong witness to Christ in all we do.
We've worked shoulder-to-shoulder for decades so we know the unique needs, challenges, and opportunities of ministry.
We've not only got the finance covered, we also invest in and grow capability in the sector.
We are the only for-purpose charitable deposit taker licensed by the RBNZ.
Thanks to our thousands of depositors and decades of experience, we have the leverage and expertise to invest for good.
Coming together with shared purpose and vision, we're blessed with a dedicated, professional, and friendly team.
