InvestedIn Ministry

Are you seeking Biblically responsible investments to help your church or family save for the future?

Individuals, churches and organizations can invest in ABEC Notes, which yield attractive returns over fixed time periods. And from those investments come enhanced ministries for churches.

When you invest in ABEC Notes, you know what your funds will be used to support. You are investing in ministries, which in turn promote the stewardship of resources.

You can begin investing with as little as $100.

ABEC Term Notes

Long-term investments

ABEC Term Notes pay interest according to the length of time invested, currently from one to five years. The longer the investment, the higher the interest paid. Standing behind your funds are the assets of ABEC: the first mortgages that secure ABEC loans and ABEC’s General Fund.

ABEC Demand Notes

Short-term investments

ABEC also provides a plan that allows individuals to earn competitive rates of interest for less than one year. Additional investments of $100 or more can be made to the original investment as often as you like. Interest can be compounded or mailed quarterly. Your interest rate on this investment may change monthly.

What could your investment become?

Interest compounds quarterly, so these figures match the yields on our rate card exactly.

Minimum initial investment is $100.
