Missional Investing

The Virginia United Methodist Development Company (DevCo) receives investments from United Methodist churches and individuals across the Virginia Conference. These investments earn interest for the investors and are then loaned to churches for land acquisition, capital projects, building improvements and debt-refinancing. DevCo is currently funding more than $40 million in loans, helping churches move forward with expanded ministry and mission, extending the hands of Christ. These loans have impacted more than 4,000 United Methodist church members, enhancing their ability to do missional outreach and service to the community.

DevCo acts as the conduit for this missional investing — United Methodists helping United Methodists. Whether it involves building a new sanctuary, opening a preschool in an underserved community, renovating restrooms for ADA compliance, reducing debt service costs to enable the hiring of a director of Christian education or a multitude of other projects, DevCo provides financing to move God’s kingdom forward.
