Celebrating 80 Years of Kingdom Building
And this is only the beginning. Together, we will continue planting, building, and expanding the ministries that bring people to Christ.
Empowering Kingdom Visions Since 1946
Eighty years ago, a humble seed was planted—rooted in the belief that churches should have the support they need to flourish. Placed in faithful soil, that seed took hold. Watered by commitment, tended with wisdom, and passed from one generation to the next, what began as a simple idea grew into something stronger: the Wesleyan Investment Foundation.
Today, that once-nimble seedling stands as a resilient oak. Trusted by those who enjoy its shade, Wesleyan Investment Foundation has brought opportunity, stability, and peace to thousands of churches across the United States. By engaging believers to invest in Kingdom work, this foundation has produced fruit whose impact reaches far beyond any one congregation— impact that echoes into eternity.
For eighty years—and for every year to come—we grow where God leads, until His Kingdom is on earth as it is in Heaven.

Looking Forward
Today, as we look to the future of church finance, we see a generational opportunity to serve churches through a broader array of products and services. In 2023, we made a strategic investment in Overflow, a digital platform that enables fully integrated giving for churches. In 2025, we invested in First Southern National Bank. Together, we’re building a bank of the church, by the church and for the church—set to launch in April 2026.
Along the way, we’ve remained the leader among church extension funds—providing more church loans, by number and dollar volume, across more states, provinces, denominations, and associations than any other. Yet we’re not content to simply be the best among church extension funds. Our goal is to provide as much as we can, to as many as we can, for as long as we can.
In that spirit, we echo the words of John Wesley:
“In the years ahead, the church will need WIF more than ever, as commercial banks either pursue more lucrative markets or turn away from serving faith-based organizations. And just as we did in 1946,
we will stand in the gap.”
