PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Item 1.   Financial Statements

The attached Balance Sheets as of September 30, 1999 and 1998, Statement
of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998,
and Statements of Cash Flows for the nine months ended September 30, 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
September 30, 1999 and 1998 and for the nine months ended September 30, 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 September 30, 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

Nine Months Ended September 30, 1999 vs. Nine Months Ended September 30, 1998

    During the nine months ended September 30, 1999, the Company incurred
a net gain of $38,712 as compared to a net gain of $49,174 for the
same nine months ended September 30, 1998, a decrease in net income of
($10,462).  Net interest income after Provision for Notes Receivable Losses
increased to $305,106, an increase of $59,194 (or 24%) from $245,912 for
the nine months ended September 30, 1998.  This increase is attributable
primarily to an increase in Notes Receivable.  The Company's cost of funds
(i.e., interest expense) during this period increased $130,729 (or 28%); i.e.,
$605,898 for the nine month period ending September 30, 1999 as compared to
$475,169 for the nine months ended September 30, 1998.  This increase is
attributable to an increase in Notes Payable.  At September 30,1999, the company
had outstanding debt securities (Notes Payable) of $14,081,158, up from
$10,849,694 at September 30, 1998, an increase of 30%.

    The Company's operating expenses for the nine months ended September
30, 1999 increased to $238,771 from $176,257 for the same period ending
September 30, 1998, an increase of 35%.  This is attributable primarily to
increases in such office operating expenses as marketing, management,
accounting services and salaries (one additional employee) 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.
All remaining critical systems were compliant prior to June 1, 1999 as the
Company installed new systems to better serve its investors.  All new systems
were tested and verified as Year 2000 compliant before their installation,
which also occurred prior to June 1, 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 were nominal for the Company through completion of Year 2000
compliance in mid-year 1999, and are expected to be nominal for the remainder
of 1999 and 2000.

                      Liquidity and Capital Resources

Nine Months Ended September 30, 1999 vs. Nine Months Ended September 30, 1998

     Net increase in cash during the nine months ending September 30, 1999
was $1,237,495, compared to a net increase of $298,541 for the nine months
ended September 30, 1998, an increase of $938,954.  Net cash used by
operating activities totaled ($1,121) for the nine months ended September
30, 1999, a decrease of ($65,946) over $64,825 provided by operating
activities during the nine months ended September 30, 1998.  This difference is
attributable primarily to a decrease on Accounts Payable over the same period in
1998.

     Net cash used by investing activities totaled ($386,314) during the
nine months ended September 30, 1999, compared to ($1,832,108) used during
the nine months ended September 30, 1998, a decrease in cash used of
($1,445,794) or (79)%.  This difference is attributable to a decrease in Notes
Receivable purchased and an increase in Notes Receivable collected during the
nine month period ending September 30, 1999 as compared to the same period in
1998.

     Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $1,624,931 for this
nine month period in 1999, a decrease of ($440,893), or (21%), from
$2,065,824 provided by financing activities during the nine month period
ending September 30, 1998.  This difference is attributable to an increase in
principal payments made on Notes Payable and a decrease in amounts paid on the
Line of Credit during the nine month period ending September 30, 1999 as
compared to the same period in 1998.

     At September 30, 1999, the Company's cash, which includes cash reserves
and cash available for investment in the Mortgage Loans, was $1,505,148,
up from $418,526 at September 30, 1998, an increase of $1,086,622.

                     MINISTRY PARTNERS INVESTMENT CORPORATION
                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                            SEPTEMBER 30, 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
   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 $1,505,148 and $418,526  at September 30, 1999 and
   1998, respectively.  Interest earned on these funds were $23,233 and
   $7,444 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998,
   respectively.

   MPIC utilized physical facilities and other services of ECCU.  A
   charge of $8,324 - 1999 and $4,192 - 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
   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
