PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Item 1.   Financial Statements

The attached Balance Sheets as of June 30, 1998 and 1997, Statement 
of Operations for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, 
and Statements of Cash Flows for the six months ended June 30, 1998
and 1997 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, 1998 and 1997 and for the six months ended June 30, 1998
and 1997 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, 1998 and 1997 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, 1998 vs. Six Months Ended June 30, 1997

     During the six months ended June 30, 1998, the Company incurred 
a net gain of $38,149 as compared to a net loss of $(43,517) for the
same six months ended June 30, 1997, an increase in net income of
$81,666.  Interest income, net, for the period increased to $157,805, an
increase of $95,041 (or 151%) from $62,764 for the six months ended June 30,
1997.  These increases are attributable primarily to an increase in the
Company's Mortgage Loan investments.  The Company's cost of funds (i.e.,
interest expense) during this period increased $184,325 (or 147%); i.e.,
$309,570 for the six month period ending June 30, 1998 as compared to
$125,245 for the six months ended June 30, 1997.  This increase is
attributable to an increase in Notes Payable.  At June 30,1998, the company
had outstanding debt securities (Notes Payable) of $10,084,973, up 
from $4,434,653 at June 30, 1997, an increase of 127%.
                                                                         
   
     The Company's general and administrative expenses for the six
months ended June 30, 1998 increased to $107,813 from $104,127 for the
same period ending June 30, 1997, an increase of 4%.  This is attributable 
to the addition of one part-time employee during this period in 1998.

                      Liquidity and Capital Resources

Six Months Ended June 30, 1998 vs. Six Months Ended June 30, 1997

     Net increase in cash during the six months ending June 30, 1998 
was $452,124, compared to a net decrease of $(69,465) for the six months 
ended June 30, 1997, a difference of $521,589.  Net cash provided by
operating activities totaled $37,889 for the six months ended June 30, 1998,
an increase of $42,972 over $(5,083) used by operating activities during the
six months ended June 30, 1997.  This difference is attributable primarily to
an increase in net interest income from Notes Receivable during the six month
period ending June 30, 1998 as compared to the same period in 1997.

     Net cash used by investing activities totaled $(886,868) during the 
six months ended June 30, 1998, compared to $(2,994,661) used during the six
months ended June 30, 1997, a decrease of $(2,107,793) or 70%.  This
difference is primarily attributable to a decrease in Notes Receivable
purchased during the six month period ending June 30, 1998 as compared to the
same period in 1997.

     Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $1,301,104 for this
six month period in 1998, a decrease of $1,629,175, or 56%, from
$2,930,279 provided by financing activities during the six month period
ending June 30, 1997.  This difference is primarily attributable to the
repayment of a line of credit during the six month period ending June 30, 1998
as compared to borrowings from that line of credit during the same period
in 1997.

     At June 30, 1998, the Company's cash, which includes cash reserves 
and cash available for investment in the Mortgage Loans, was $572,110,
up from $90,938 at June 30, 1997, an increase of $481,172.

                       NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                          JUNE 30, 1998 AND 1997



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 $572,110 and $90,939 at June 30, 1998 and 1997,
   respectively.  Interest earned on these funds were $2,772 and $5,971 for
   the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

   MPIC utilized physical facilities and other services of ECCU.  A charge of
   $2,840 - 1998 and $5,998 - 1997 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 1997 and 1998, MPIC participated in church loans made by ECCU. 
   Interest is at variable rates of interest; ranging from 8.25% to 11.75%.
   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, 1998 and 1997, none of the loans are impaired.  Management believes
   all of the notes are adequately secured and fully collectible.
