PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Item 1.   Financial Statements

The attached Balance Sheets as of March 31, 1997 and 1996, Statement 
of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, 
and Statements of Cash Flows for the three months ended March 31, 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 
March 31, 1997 and 1996 and for the three months ended March 31, 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 March 31, 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

Three Months Ended March 31, 1997 vs.Three Months Ended March 31, 1996

     During the three months ended March 31, 1997, the Company incurred 
a net loss of $(33,754) as compared to a net loss of $(1,492) for the same 
three months ended March 31, 1996, a decrease in net income of $(32,262).  
Interest income, net, for the period, decreased to $20,930, a decrease of 
51% from $43,081 for the three months ended March 31, 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 $23,740 (or 31%); i.e., $52,688 for the three month period ending 
March 31, 1997 as compared to $76,428 for the three months ended 
March 31, 1996. At March 31, 1997, the company had outstanding debt 
securities (Notes Payable) of $3,447,728, down from $3,652,438 at
March 31, 1996, a decrease of 6%.
                                                                             
     The Company's general and administrative expenses for the three months 
ended March 31, 1997 increased to $57,473 from $46,334 for the same 
period ending March 31, 1996, an increase of 24%.  This is attributable 
to an increase of $10,507 in office operations expenses, primarily audit-
related, over the same period in 1996.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Three Months Ended March 31, 1997 vs.Three Months Ended March 31, 1996

     Net increase in cash during the three months ending March 31, 1997 
was $180,064, compared to a net increase of $66,035 for the three months 
ended March 31, 1996, an increase of $114,029.  Net cash used by operating 
activities totaled $(8,466) for the three months ended March 31, 1997, 
an increase of $14,575 over $6,109 provided by operating activities 
during the three months ended March 31, 1996.  This difference is 
attributable primarily to a reduction in income from Notes Receivable 
due to interest rate adjustments and the cessation of sales while 
completing SEC registration during the three month period ending 
March 31, 1997 as compared to the same period in 1996.

     Net cash used by investing activities totaled $(683,641) during the 
three months ended March 31, 1997, compared to $(283,380) used during 
the three months ended March 31, 1996, an increase of $(400,261) or 141%. 
This difference is attributable to an increase in Notes Receivable 
purchased during the three month period ending March 31, 1997 
as compared to the same period in 1996.

     Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $872,171 for this
three month period in 1997, an increase of $528,866 or 154%, from $343,305
provided by financing activities during the three month period ending March
31, 1996. This difference is attributable to an increase in the Company's
outstanding debt securities (Notes Payable) during the three month period
ending March 31, 1997 as compared to the same period in 1996.

     At March 31, 1997, the Company's cash, which includes cash reserves 
and cash available for investment in the Mortgage Loans, was $340,467, up 
from $262,468 at March 31, 1996, an increase of $77,999 (30%).

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                            MARCH 31, 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.

   held with ECCU were $340,467 and $262,468 at March 31, 1997 and
   1996, respectively.  Interest earned on these funds were $2,789 and
   $1,762 for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996,
   respectively.

   MPIC utilized physical facilities and other services of ECCU.  A
   charge of $2,984 - 1997 and $2,598 - 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 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 1996 and 1997, MPIC participated in church loans made by ECCU.
   Interest is at variable rates of interest; ranging from 7.50% to 
   10.00%.  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  
   March 31, 1997 and 1996, none of the loans are impaired. Management
   believes all of the notes are adequately secured and fully
   collectible.
