Watch it Grow . . . Make it Count

As followers of Christ, we are stewards of everything entrusted to our care, including our time, our talent, and our treasure.  Christ teaches us to be faithful and fruitful.  He is pleased when we take what He’s given us and make it count for kingdom purpose and for His glory.

For over sixty years, Grace Brethren Investment Foundation has provided consistent and respectable returns for our investment account holders, thereby offering affordable mortgage financing for growing congregations, schools, and ministries in the Fellowship of Grace Brethren Churches.

Our investors across the United States earn interest, compounded monthly from day of deposit to day of withdrawal, and receive quarterly statements summarizing the activity in their investment accounts.  Access to account information is available online on request.  Investors with questions can call a helpful customer representative.

Comments from Pastors:

“I am so appreciative of all the GBIF investors across the country who made this loan possible for us.  With your financial help, we’ve been able to build and reach more people for the cause of Christ.  We are already filling up the new building by God’s grace.  You are a part in helping our vision become a reality and, wherever you are, you are making a huge difference in LaGrange County!”
– Pastor Rustin Krapfl, Brighton Chapel Grace Brethren Church, Howe, IN

“We want to thank the investors of GBIF with a deep appreciation for partnering with us in this project and helping us expand the kingdom.  It was a privilege and a pleasure to be able to finance our Activity Center through our own Fellowship.” – Pastor Mark Lingenfelter, Leamersville, PA
