Rev. Dr. Patrick G. Duggan
Executive Director | United Church of Christ Church Building & Loan Fund (CB&LF)
Since 2012, Rev. Dr. Duggan has led CB&LF’s strategic vision to transform communities by helping the church live into God’s economy with a focus on church real estate development projects at the leading edge of missional transformation. This includes repurposing several church properties for affordable housing development, a New Markets Tax Credits community development project, a LEED-certified green-building renovation, and the development of a hydroponic farming facility on church property. These projects advance the mission of the church, create new revenue streams, and meet urgent needs in the communities they serve.
