2020 Spiritual Vision

 

Mortgage Refinance

October 20, 2010  

Cicero Christian Church strives to operate debt-free (our latest example was the Picnic Shelter), and God has enabled us to do so for the past several years with the exception of a mortgage. One Mission 2020 goal is to pay off this debt within 10 years.

On October 20, 2010, a debt refinance was completed. Our new mortgage is for $2,260,000 for 10 years (20 year amortization) at 5.12% interest and encumbers the triangle-shaped property on which the buildings reside. Seventy-two acres of undeveloped land to our south, which is farmed, are debt-free.

The effects of this refinance are positive and numerous. The interest rate has been reduced and fixed. Costly annual and monthly fees have been eliminated. Payments are reduced 10% compared to 2010, 19% over 2009, and 28% over 2008. The increased stability allows us to budget for additional annual principal payments, explore pay increases for the first time in 5 years, increase ministry funding, and save for property maintenance on our aging building without increasing the budget. Please continue to support the work of God at Cicero Christian Church through your time, treasure and talent.
