Making a Difference with the Mission Investment Fund

What if you, as a member of the ELCA, could grow your personal finances while helping to grow your church?

And what if, in turn, mission congregations, established congregations and ELCA-related ministries could finance capital building projects with competitively priced loans and take advantage of comprehensive building-consulting services?

The Mission Investment Fund of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America makes both of these dreams possible. Through the fund, individual members, congregations and ministries of the ELCA can purchase investments, earning interest at competitive rates.

With these investments, the Mission Investment Fund makes loans to help congregations purchase land, expand their current facilities or begin new building projects that directly benefit their members and surrounding communities.

Currently, the Mission Investment Fund has nearly 800 active loans totaling almost $500 million to ELCA ministries throughout the United States, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. Though the loans are for a wide range of uses, they all have one thing in common: each is helping to grow the ELCA and do God’s work in the world.
