PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Item 1.   Financial Statements

    The attached Balance Sheets as of March 31, 1999 and 1998, Statement 
of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, 
and Statements of Cash Flows for the three months ended March 31, 1999
and 1998 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, 1999 and 1998 and for the three months ended March 31, 1999
and 1998 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, 1999 and 1998 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, 1999 vs. Three Months Ended March 31, 1998

    During the three months ended March 31, 1999, the Company incurred 
a net gain of $15,206 as compared to a net gain of $11,438 for the
same three months ended March 31, 1998, an increase in net income of
$3,768.  Net interest income after provision for note receivable losses
increased to $103,933, an increase of $27,908 (or 37%) from $76,025 for
the three months ended March 31, 1998.  These increases are attributable
primarily to an increase in interest income from the Company's Mortgage 
Loan investments.  The Company's cost of funds (i.e., interest expense) 
during this period increased $39,907 (or 27%); i.e.,$190,339 for the
three month period ending March 31, 1999 as compared to $150,432 for 
the three months ended March 31, 1998.  This increase is attributable
to an increase in Notes Payable.  At March 31,1999, the company had 
outstanding debt securities (Notes Payable) of $13,011,592, up 
from $8,635,978 at March 31, 1998, an increase of 51%.
                                                                         
    The Company's operating expenses for the three months ended March
31, 1999 increased to $81,393 from $61,264 for the same period ending 
March 31, 1998, an increase of 33%.  This is attributable primarily to
increases in such office operating expenses as marketing, management and 
accounting services provided for the company over the same period in 1998.

    The Company is addressing the Year 2000 issue with its parent company, 
Evangelical Christian Credit Union, who is the data processing provider for 
the Company.  The Company is tracking its Year 2000 preparation in a database
that includes software, hardware devices, vendors and interfaces.  Most
critical time-sensitive systems were compliant by the end of 1998.  Some
remaining systems are being retired in 1999 as the Company installs new
systems to better serve its investors.  Although new systems may be
characterized as Year 2000 compliant by their vendors, the Company will not
list them as compliant until they have been installed and tested.  All
installed systems will be compliant by mid-year 1999.  

    Because of the nature of their operations, the Company does not believe the
ability of Mortgage Loan recipients (primarily churches) to maintain payment
schedules will be materially impacted by the Year 2000 issue.  However, the
failure of several Mortgage Loan recipients to meet such payment schedules as
a result of the Year 2000 issue could have a material adverse effect on the
Company's results of operation or financial position.  Though the Company does
not expect the Year 2000 issue to have a material adverse effect on its result
of operation or financial condition, there can be no assurances of that
position.

    Contingency plans include alternative vendors, alternative procedures and a
business recovery plan which is tested annually.  The business recovery plan
is designed for catastrophic events such as earthquakes or major fires, and
has application also to the Year 2000 issue.  Remediation costs associated
with Year 2000 have been minimal for the Company.  It believes remediation
costs will continue to be nominal through completion of Year 2000 compliance
in mid-1999.

                      Liquidity and Capital Resources

Three Months Ended March 31, 1999 vs. Three Months Ended March 31, 1998

    Net increase in cash during the three months ending March 31, 1999 
was $540,017, compared to a net decrease of $(40,151) for the three months 
ended March 31, 1998, an increase of $580,168.  Net cash provided by
operating activities totaled $12,256 for the three months ended March
31, 1999, an increase of $6,887 over $5,369 provided by operating
activities during the three months ended March 31, 1998.  This
difference is attributable primarily to an increase in income from Notes
Receivable during the three month period ending March 31, 1999 as
compared to the same period in 1998.

    Net cash used by investing activities totaled $(27,604) during the 
three months ended March 31, 1999, compared to $(994,541) used during 
the three months ended March 31, 1998, a decrease of $966,937 or
97%.  This difference is attributable to a decrease in Notes Receivable
purchased and a decrease in Notes Receivable collected during the three month
period ending March 31, 1999 as compared to the same period in 1998.

    Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $555,365 for this
three month period in 1999, a decrease of $(393,656), or (41%), from
$949,021 provided by financing activities during the three month period
ending March 31, 1998.  This difference is attributable to a decrease in
the Company's outstanding debt securities (Notes Payable) and a decrease 
in funds provided by the Line of Credit during the three month period 
ending March 31, 1998 as compared to the same period in 1998.

    At March 31, 1999, the Company's cash, which includes cash reserves 
and cash available for investment in the Mortgage Loans, was $807,670,
up from $79,834 at March 31, 1998, a increase of $727,836.

                     MINISTRY PARTNERS INVESTMENT CORPORATION
                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                            MARCH 31, 1999 AND 1998

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

   $1,164 for the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998,
   respectively.

   MPIC utilized physical facilities and other services of ECCU.  A
   charge of $2,456 - 1999 and $1,389 - 1998 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

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 California and
   are the collateral for certain notes payable.  This pool of first  
   trust deed notes was retired in early 1996.

   During 1997, 1998 and 1999, MPIC participated in church loans made by ECCU.
   Interest is at variable rates of interest; ranging from 8.00% to 
   11.625%.  ECCU services these loans, charging a service fee.

   An allowance for doubtful accounts has been established for notes
   receivable of $11,000 as of March 31, 1999.  At March 31, 1998 no 
   allowance for doubtful accounts had been established. The Company has
   no experience of loan loss and, as of March 31, 1999 and 1998, none of
   the loans are impaired. Management believes all of the notes are 
   adequately secured and fully collectible.
