$506K Loan Enhances Community Stability and Secures Permanent Worship Facility

Clearinghouse CDFI (CCDFI) provided a $506,250 loan to Redeeming Grace Christian Center for the purchase and acquisition of a property to serve as a permanent place of worship.  

Redeeming Grace Christian Center serves the Nigerian-American and broader African communities in San Diego, offering various programs that cater to different groups within the congregation. The center’s activities are particularly focused on spiritual growth and community support, providing a vital space for both worship and communal engagement. Financing provided by CCDFI secures a stable location for worship and community gatherings, mitigating the financial uncertainties of rising rental costs. The location, close to their current rental, ensures continuity for the congregation, minimizing the risk of losing members during the transition. 

Redeeming Grace Christian Center, led by Pastor Emmanuel Iheke Sr., has been a beacon of hope and guidance since its inception in 2005, deeply rooted in spreading the teachings of the Bible and enriching the lives of its congregation through dedicated service and community outreach.
