                    PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Item 1.   Financial Statements

The attached Balance Sheets as of September 30, 1997 and 1996, Statements 
of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, 
and Statements of Cash Flows for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 
and 1996 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 September 30, 
1997 and 1996 and for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 
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 September 30, 1997 and 1996 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
                             
Nine Months Ended September 30, 1997 vs. Nine Months Ended September 30, 1996

     During the nine months ended September 30, 1997, the Company incurred a
net loss of $(42,895) as compared to a net loss of $(8,347) for the same nine
months ended September 30, 1996, a decrease in net income of $(34,548).  This
change is attributable primarily to increases in marketing, legal and
accounting expenses as a new offering was prepared and presented to the
public.  Interest income, net, for the period, was $122,152, an increase of 
1% from $121,050 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996.  The Company's
cost of funds (i.e., interest expense) during this period increased $20,908
(or 9.7%), to $235,730 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 as
compared to $214,822 for nine months ended September 30, 1996. This increase
is attributable to an increase in the sale of debt securities (Notes Payable).
At September 30, 1997, the company had outstanding debt securities of
$6,573,441, up from $2,236,731 at September 30, 1996, an increase of 194%.
                                                                             
     The Company's general and administrative expenses for the nine months
ended September 30, 1997 increased to $165,046 from $129,783 for the same
period ending September 30, 1996, an increase of 27%.  This is attributable 
to an increase of $22,084 in legal and accounting expenses associated with 
SEC registration, over the same period in 1996, and an increase of $20,740 in
marketing and promotion expenses as the new offering was presented to the
public.

                       Liquidity and Capital Resources
                             
Nine Months Ended September 30, 1997 vs. Nine Months Ended September 30, 1996

     Net decrease in cash during the nine months ended September 30, 1997 was
$(91,201), compared to a net decrease of $(33,566) for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996, a decrease of $57,635.  Net cash used by operating
activities totaled $(27,624) for the nine months ended September 30, 1997, a
decrease of $55,611 from $(83,235) used by operating activities during the
nine months ended September 30, 1996.  This difference is attributable
primarily to a reduction in interest paid during the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 as compared to the same period in 1996.

     Net cash used by investing activities totaled $(4,271,834) during the
nine months ended September 30, 1997, compared to $1,458,106 provided during
the nine months ended September 30, 1996, a difference of $(5,729,940).  This
difference is primarily attributable to an increase in Notes Receivable
purchased during the nine months ended September 30, 1997 as compared to the
same period in 1996.

     Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $4,208,257 for this
nine month period in 1997, an increase of $5,616,694 from $(1,408,437) used 
by financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 1996. 
This difference is primarily attributable to an increase in the Company's
sale of outstanding debt securities (Notes Payable) during the nine months
ended September 30, 1997 as compared to the same period in 1996.

     At September 30, 1997, the Company's cash, which includes cash reserves
and cash available for investment in mortgage loans, was $69,202, down from
$162,867 at September 30, 1996, a decrease of $93,665 (57.5%).

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. <PAGE>
             

2.   Related party transactions
 
MPIC maintains all of its funds at the parent, ECCU.  Total funds held with
ECCU were $69,202 and $162,867 at September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
Interest earned on these funds were $7,822 and $6,821 for the nine months
ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
 
MPIC utilized physical facilities and other services of ECCU.  A charge of
$9,237 - 1997 and $8,136 - 1996 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 9.138%.  The loans were made to 
churches in Southern California and are the collateral for certain notes
payable.  This pool of first trust deed notes was retired in early 1996.
 
During 1996 and 1997, MPIC participated in church loans made by ECCU. 
Interest is at variable rates of interest; ranging from 8.25% to 11.25%.
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 September
30, 1997 and 1996, none of the loans are impaired.  Management believes all
of the notes are adequately secured and fully collectible.
