Investment Services for Churches

Investment vision

Anabaptist Foundation believes that money reinvested in the Kingdom of God is both a secure and productive investment. The overarching principle guiding our investments is to advance the kingdom and enhance financial fellowship by facilitating mutual aid with mutual gain within the brotherhood.

Anabaptist Foundation operates as an investment organization that enables churches and non-profit organizations to reinvest donated money and receive a high interest yield. The types of funds we reinvest include cemetery funds, building funds, medical funds and trust/endowment funds. To achieve mutual aid fellowship, security, and good interest yield, we reinvest donated money within the conservative Anabaptist community to the greatest extent possible. Our loans program offers loans for business real estate, business operations, home mortgages, and non-profits. We do not offer consumer loans, such as those for automobiles and consumer items. Our loan application process measures risk factors and makes determinations regarding the integrity and financial ability of the individual or organization. Reinvesting donated money with Anabaptist Foundation creates a three-fold value.

Funds are reinvested in non-profit loans, home mortgages and business loans within the conservative Anabaptist community. This keeps your money working in the Kingdom of Christ.

Anabaptist Foundation assumes the task of administration and security.

Borrowers participate in real mutual gain fellowship with churches because interest and principal paid on loans benefit the church.
