We offer 2 types of investment accounts for individuals: Liquid Accounts and Investment Certificates
Liquid Accounts offer a variable interest rate and flexibility for deposits and withdrawals. The interest rate ranges from 0% (if the balance in your account is below $500) to 3.75% (if the balance in your account is above $25,000), and is tiered, based on the actual balance in the account. Funds can be deposited at any time, and can be withdrawn* upon written demand. Total transactions (deposits and withdrawals), are limited to 3 per month.
Investment Certificates pay a fixed rate of interest over a fixed length of time. Individuals can choose from a 1, 2, or 3-year term, with a minimum investment of only $1,000. Our current rates on Investment Certificates are:
Term | Rate |
1 year | 5.00% |
2 years | 4.00% |
3 years | 4.00% |
Investment Certificates contain a provision for early withdrawal penalty if you withdraw* funds before the certificate matures. Withdrawal requests must be made in writing. Funds can be reinvested or withdrawn (without penalty) at maturity.
IRA Investment Certificates are also available – please contact us for information regarding IRAs.

When you invest with the Missionary Church Investment Foundation (MCIF), you receive a “double blessing.” While you earn interest, your funds enable Missionary Church churches and ministries to expand and grow through low-cost loans.
In fact, since 1958, MCIF has provided hundreds of loans to Missionary Churches and ministries. Your dollars have helped construct and renovate churches, buy land and equipment, repair roofs or storm damage, and finance buildout least space.
