PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Item 1.   Financial Statements

The attached Balance Sheets as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, Statement 
of Operations for the three months ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, 
and Statements of Cash Flows for the three months ended December 31, 1996 
and 1995 of Registrant (the "Company") have been prepared by the Company 
without an audit.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which 
include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly 
the financial position, results of operations and cash flows at 
December 31, 1996 and 1995 and for the three months ended December 31, 1996 
and 1995 have been made.  

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial 
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting 
principles have been condensed or omitted.  The results of operations for 
the periods ended December 31, 1996 and 1995 are not necessarily indicative 
of the results for the full year.  

Item 2.   Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and 
Results of Operations.

The financial information included herein should be read in conjunction 
with the Financial Statements, including the Notes thereto.  

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended December 31, 1996 vs.Three Months Ended December 31, 1995

     During the three months ended December 31, 1996, the Company incurred 
a net gain of $11,192 as compared to a net loss of $(2,649) for the same 
three months ended December 31, 1995, an increase in net income of 322%.  
This increase is attributable to organizational income other than net 
interest income.  Interest income, net, for the period, decreased to $33,154,
a decrease of 16% over $39,598 for the three months ended December 31, 1995.
This decrease is attributable primarily to a reduction in the Company's 
Mortgage Loan investments during a lengthy registration process with the 
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in which maturing investor funds 
could not be reinvested, nor new sales transacted. For the same reason, 
the Company's cost of funds (i.e., interest expense) during this period
decreased $22,722 (or 31%); i.e., $50,004 for the three month period ending 
December 31, 1996 as compared to $72,726 for the three months ended 
December 31, 1995.  At December 31, 1996, the company had outstanding debt 
securities (Notes Payable) of $2,157,653, down from $3,354,309 at
December 31, 1995, a decrease of 36%.
                                                                             
     The Company's general and administrative expenses for the three months 
ended December 31, 1996 decreased to $41,788 from $43,263 for the same 
period ending December 31, 1995, a decrease of 3%.  This reduction is 
attributable to a decrease of $1,557 (64%) in marketing and promotion 
expenses over the same period in 1995, in connection with the temporary 
suspension of sales during SEC registration as mentioned above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Three Months Ended December 31, 1996 vs.Three Months Ended December 31, 1995

     Net decrease in cash during the three months ending December 31, 1996 
was $(2,463), compared to a net increase of $45,943 for the three months 
ended December 31, 1995, a change of $48,406.  Net cash used by operating 
activities totaled $(10,940) for the three months ended December 31, 1996, 
an increase of $15,078, or 364%, from $4,138 provided by operating activities 
during the three months ended December 31, 1995.  This difference is 
attributable primarily to a reduction in income from Notes Receivable 
during the three month period ending December 31, 1996 as compared to 
the same period in 1995.

     Net cash provided by investing activities totaled $162,360 during the 
three months ended December 31, 1996, compared to $(652,554) used during 
the three months ended December 31, 1995, an increase of $814,914 or 225%. 
This difference is attributable to an increase in Notes Receivable 
purchased during the three month period ending December 31, 1996 as compared 
to the same period in 1995.

     Net cash used by financing activities totaled $(153,883) for this three 
month period in 1996, an increase of $848,242 or 551%, from $694,359 provided 
by financing activities during the three month period ending December 31, 
1995.  This difference is attributable to an increase in the Company's
repayment of debt securities outstanding (Notes Payable) during the three 
month period ending December 31, 1996 as compared to the same period in 1995.

     At December 31, 1996, the Company's cash, which includes cash reserves 
and cash available for investment in the Mortgage Loans, was $160,403, down 
from $196,433 at December 31, 1995, a decrease of 18%.

                     MINISTRY PARTNERS INVESTMENT CORPORATION
                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                            DECEMBER 31, 1996 AND 1995

1. Summary of Significant accounting policies

   Nature of Business

   Ministry Partners Investment Corporation (MPIC) was incorporated in
   California in 1991 and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Evangelical
   Christian Credit Union (ECCU).  The Company provides funds for real
   property secured loans for the benefit of Evangelical churches and
   church organizations through funding provided by members of and
   persons associated with such churches and organizations.  The
   Company's offices, as well as those of its loan origination source,
   ECCU, are located in the state of California and substantially all of
   the business and operations of the Company are currently conducted in
   California and its mortgage loan investments are concentrated in
   California.

   Use of Estimates

   The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
   accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
   and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
   liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as
   of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of
   revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results
   could differ from those estimates.

   Prepaid offering expense

   Prepaid offering expense is related to a proposed public offering of
   unsecured notes.  It is being amortized over a three year period.

   Organization and start up costs

   Organization and start up costs have been capitalized and are being
   amortized, using the straight-line method over a five-year period.

   Notes Receivable

   Interest income on notes receivable is recognized over the term of
   the note and is generally computed using the simple interest method.


2. Related party transactions

   MPIC maintains all of its funds at the parent, ECCU.  Total funds
   held with ECCU were $160,403 and $196,433 at December 31, 1996 and
   1995, respectively.  Interest earned on these funds were $1,826 and
   $1,560 for the three months ended December 31, 1996 and 1995,
   respectively.

   MPIC utilized physical facilities and other services of ECCU.  A
   charge of $4,130 - 1996 and $7,118 - 1995 was made for these services
   which is included in Office Operations. The method used to arrive at
   the periodic charge is based on the fair market value of services
   provided. Management asserts that such method is reasonable.

   Notes payable are substantially to members of ECCU.

3. Notes receivable

   In March 1992, MPIC purchased a pool of first trust deed seasoned
   loans from ECCU for the then outstanding balance.  Loan maturities
   extend through 2001, although the majority were due in 1995 and 1996.
   Interest rates range from 7.025% to 11.50%, yielding an average of
   9.138%.  The loans were made to churches in Southern Calfiornia and
   are the collateral for certain notes payable.  This pool of first  
   trust deed notes was retired in early 1996.

   During 1995 and 1996, MPIC participated in church loans made by ECCU. 
   Interest is at variable rates of interest; ranging from 8.50% to 10.25%.  
   ECCU services these loans, charging a service fee.

   No allowance for doubtful accounts has been established for the notes
   receivable. The Company has no experience of loan loss and, as of  
   December 31, 1996 and 1995, none of the loans are impaired.      
   Management believes all of the notes are adequately secured and fully
   collectible.
