PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Item 1.   Financial Statements

The attached Balance Sheets as of June 30, 1997 and 1996, Statement 
of Operations for the three months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, 
and Statements of Cash Flows for the three months ended June 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 June 30, 1997 and 1996 and
for the three months ended June 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 June 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
                             
Six Months Ended June 30, 1997 vs. Six Months Ended June 30, 1996

     During the six months ended June 30, 1997, the Company incurred a net
loss of $(43,517) as compared to a net loss of $(5,616) for the same six
months ended June 30, 1996, a decrease in net income of $(37,901).  Interest
income, net, for the period, was $62,764, a decrease of 23% from $81,841 for
the six months ended June 30, 1996.  These decreases are 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 $27,407 (or 18%), $125,245
for the six month period ending June 30, 1997 as compared to $152,652 for
the six months ended June 30, 1996. At June 30, 1997, the company had
outstanding debt securities (Notes Payable) of $4,434,652, up from
$3,724,723 at June 30, 1996, an increase of 19%.
                                                                             
     The Company's general and administrative expenses for the six months
ended June 30, 1997 increased to $104,127 from $87,842 for the same period
ending June 30, 1996, an increase of 19%.  This is attributable to an
increase of $18,793 in legal and accounting expenses associated with SEC
registration, over the same period in 1996.

             Liquidity and Capital Resources
                             
Six Months Ended June 30, 1997 vs. Six Months Ended June 30, 1996

     Net decrease in cash during the six months ending June 30, 1997 was
$(69,465), compared to a net decrease of $(12,847) for the six months ended
June 30, 1996, a decrease of $56,618 as $3,585,522 in Notes Receivable were
purchased.  Net cash used by operating activities totaled $(5,083) for the
six months ended June 30, 1997, a decrease of $73,587 from $(78,670) used by
operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 1996.  This
difference is attributable primarily to a reduction in interest paid during
the six month period ending June 30, 1997 as compared to the same period in
1996.

     Net cash used by investing activities totaled $(2,994,661) during the
six months ended June 30, 1997, compared to $167,334 provided during the six
months ended June 30, 1996, a difference of $(3,161,995).  This difference
is primarily attributable to an increase in Notes Receivable purchased
during the six month period ending June 30, 1997 as compared to the same
period in 1996.

     Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $2,930,279 for this
six month period in 1997, an increase of $3,031,790 from $(101,511) used by
financing activities during the six month period ending June 30, 1996. This
difference is primarily attributable to an increase in the Company's
outstanding debt securities (Notes Payable) during the six month period
ending June 30, 1997 as compared to the same period in 1996.

     At June 30, 1997, the Company's cash, which includes cash reserves and
cash available for investment in the Mortgage Loans, was $90,938, down from
$183,586 at June 30, 1996, a decrease of $92,648 (50%).

                          JUNE 30, 1997 AND 1996

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 $90,939 and $183,586 at June 30, 1997 and 1996,
   respectively.  Interest earned on these funds were $5,971 and $4,073 for
   the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

   MPIC utilized physical facilities and other services of ECCU.  A charge of
   $5,998 - 1997 and $5,430 - 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 June
   30, 1997 and 1996, none of the loans are impaired.  Management believes
   all of the notes are adequately secured and fully collectible.
