Preachers’ Aid has been assisting New England Conference Clergy through HELP since 2003. In that time clergy have repaid over $500,000 which has been returned to this revolving loan program to be used by new participants. Participants tell us they were able to pay off loans sooner or decrease their payments so that additional funds could go into savings for their children’s education or for their pension fund.

This program is not a scholarship program. Higher Education loans taken on by clergy parents of the New England Conference are rewritten. The maximum aggregate per clergy family cannot exceed $30,000. A clergy parent is a United Methodist ordained clergy or full-time local pastor connected with the New England Conference or the surviving spouse or ex-spouse of such clergyperson. The “child” is the natural born or adopted child of the ordained clergy or full-time local pastor.
