About Us
The Solomon Foundation
Who we are
The Solomon Foundation was created with you in mind; whether you are an investor looking for a fixed rate investment opportunity, or you are just starting to save money with our low-minimum investment. Perhaps you are the pastor looking for a partner in ministry, or the church planter needing funding for a facility where your ministry can grow. We are here to work with you!
Our team strives to provide excellent interest and create eternal impact. We seek to follow our Core Values every day. As a Church Extension Fund, we simply raise investment dollars from investors, and those funds are then lent to churches within the Restoration Movement for refinancing, church building acquisitions, and construction projects.
As an investor, you have a variety of options that you will find on our website and described in the Offering Circular. As a church, you can investigate the loan options available to acquire the capital to develop your ministry. Our loan and construction team will work with churches through each step of their building and financing process.
Additionally, we strive to help churches get to the next step. This is accomplished through one-on-one coaching by our board or staff and through conferences and events during the year.
To receive ongoing information about The Solomon Foundation, please sign up for our newsletter and visit our Facebook page.
We look forward to partnering with you!
