Lansing United Church (LUC) would highly recommend Toronto United Church Council (TUCC) to help with your financing requirements when undertaking a church redevelopment project. TUCC helped LUC every step of the way with financing our major redevelopment project starting with bridge financing for letters of credit with the City of Toronto, to providing LUC with an energy loan for the renovation portion of the church construction and finishing with mortgage financing once the project was complete. They really understood our needs during our development and construction phases.
