We're passionate about Christian ministry.
For over 40 years, we’ve helped ministries get the funding and support they need to build and expand their ministry operations.
We offer a range of savings and term investments to help pool funds to resource Christian ministry. Loans and other assistance are made to churches and Christian organisations to support their work and activities.
We are a National Affiliated Ministry of Australian Baptist Ministries.
