The Mission Investment Fund, a financial ministry of the ELCA, offers a variety of investments for congregations, their members and ELCA-related ministries to purchase. MIF uses these investments to make low-interest loans to established ELCA congregations, new-start congregations and ELCA-related ministries for important capital projects. Loans by the Mission Investment Fund fuel growth of our church.
Whether you are seeking investment opportunities for yourself or your congregation, or a loan for capital improvements for your congregation or ministry, contact Joel at joel.wudel@elca.org or call him at 773-682-1765.
