Grace Brethren Investment Foundation, Inc. was organized in 1955 for the principal purpose of enabling individuals who support the ministry objectives of the Fellowship of Grace Brethren Churches to invest funds at a reasonable rate of interest and to provide thereby a source of mortgage financing for churches, schools, and other organizations affiliated with the Fellowship.
With offices located in beautiful and historic Winona Lake, Indiana, GBIF employs a staff of skilled professionals who are impassioned to serve investors and borrowers with care and excellence as a ministry to the Lord and the building of His Church.
GBIF is governed by a Board of Directors representing all regions of the FGBC. The Board is comprised of experienced lay and ministerial professionals who provide counsel, develop policies, and give direction to ensure the safety, security, and continuity of the GBIF. The Board has adopted a Statement of Vision to guide its operations and ministry.
As a part of its supportive ministry to the FGBC, the GBIF seeks to provide annual goodwill contributions from its net earnings to worthy ministries associated with the FGBC. In addition to these annual goodwill contributions, the GBIF serves as the administrative agency of the Eagle Commission, providing financial, staff, and logistical support for our Grace Brethren Chaplains who serve in the U.S. Armed Forces.
GBIF is a long-standing member in good standing of the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability (ECFA) and subscribes to its standards for financial integrity.
