Patrick Duggan

传：The Reverend Doctor Patrick Garnet Duggan, an authorized minister in the United Church of Christ (UCC), has served as Chief Divisional Operating Officer of the UCC Church Building and Loan Fund (CB&LF) since 2012. Founded in 1853, CB&LF is among the oldest church building societies in the United States, having financed nearly10,000 church building projects. The Fund offers loans, capital campaigns and consulting services for the financing and redevelopment of real estate owned by UCC and other Christian churches in the United States. In 2013, CB&LF became the first UCC financial institution to implement an impact investment policy. In 2018, CB&LF launched the Adese (Ah-DEH-seh) Fellowship, a catalytic experience for emerging spiritual entrepreneurs. In 2022, CB&LF launched its affiliate, Amistad Redevelopment Corporation (ARC) to provide development services and financing to churches interested in affordable housing and community development. ARC was certified as a Community Development Financial Institution in August 2025. Dr. Duggan served as a UCC pastor for 28 years. He has taught seminary level courses, and in 2021, executive produced the three-time award-winning documentary, “It Takes A Village”. Dr. Duggan asserts that he is “on a mission to enable church leaders and congregations to live into God’s economy”. This thinking guides CB&LF’s work at the leading edge of American Christianity, namely, helping faith-based organizations to reimagine, redevelop and re-deploy their real estate assets to have continuing social impact and remain 100% mission-focused in the 21st century and beyond. A native New Yorker (now living in North Carolina), Dr. Duggan earned the Bachelor of Arts from Harvard University, and both the Master of Divinity and Doctor of Ministry degrees from New York Theological Seminary. Dr. Duggan and his wife Patricia, a retired school administrator, have three adult sons and five grandchildren.
