Loan Application Contract

In order to be faithful stewards, the Presbytery of East Tennessee believes that churches need to be held accountable for any loan money as faithful stewards themselves. This form is designed not to be a hardship, but to reinforce the responsibility of each pastor and Session member in administering funds. Therefore, we request that the loan application be signed by the Moderator and the Clerk of Session.
