The approximate date that this Information Statement and the enclosed Consent Form are first being sent or given to the Noteholders is September 8, 2008.  Our corporate headquarters are located at 955 West Imperial Highway, Brea, California 92821, and our telephone number is 800-753-6742.
 
When used in this Information Statement, the terms the "Company," "we," "our" and "us" refer to Ministry Partners Investment Corporation, a California corporation. Also, unless otherwise expressly stated, capitalized terms used in this Information Statement have the meanings set forth in the Alpha Class Notes Loan and Trust Agreement dated April 20, 2005, which we refer to as the Indenture.
 
WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU FOR A PROXY AND YOU ARE REQUESTED NOT TO SEND US A PROXY.

SUMMARY

The following is only a summary of certain material information contained in this Information Statement. You should carefully review this entire document along with the Exhibits attached hereto to understand the proposal fully.

Why Do We Need Your Consent:
We need your consent so we can appoint U.S. Bank as Successor Trustee under the Indenture pursuant to the Supplemental Agreement with Consent of Noteholders, which we refer to as the Supplemental Agreement, a copy of which is included as Exhibit A to this Information Statement.
Consent Solicitation Period:
We will solicit and accept your Consent Forms until the close of business on September 29, 2008, unless sooner terminated.
Record Date:
You can submit your Consent Form if you owned an Alpha Class Note at the close of business on September 1, 2008.
Admission of U.S. Bank as Successor Trustee:
We are requesting you to consent to the appointment of U.S. Bank National Association, who we refer to as U.S. Bank, as Successor Trustee under the Indenture. If approved by the Noteholders, U.S. Bank will be admitted pursuant to the Supplemental Agreement.
The Supplemental Agreement:
The Supplemental Agreement will amend the Indenture to admit U.S. Bank as Trustee and makes certain other changes to the Indenture. A copy of the Indenture is included as Exhibit D to the Prospectus for the Alpha Class Notes which you received when you purchased your Note and which is Part I to the Form SB-2/A filed with the SEC on May 1, 2007, which is incorporated herein by reference. See "Documents Incorporated by Reference."

Reason for Change of Trustees:
The reason for the appointment of U.S. Bank as Successor Trustee is to replace King Trust Company, N.A., who we refer to as King Trust, which has requested to resign because it is winding down that portion of its business relating to servicing as trustee for smaller indentured debt issuances.
Effective Date of Resignation and Admission of Trustees:
If approved by the Noteholders, the effective date of the resignation of King Trust and the admission of U.S. Bank as Successor Trustee will occur upon our receipt of Consents from a Majority In Interest of the Noteholders, but in no event prior to September 29, 2008.
Effect of Change of Trustee:
Upon the Noteholders' consent to the admission of U.S. Bank as Successor Trustee and the approval of the Securities and Exchange Commission, which we refer to as the SEC, to U.S. Bank's service as Successor Trustee, King Trust will cease to be Trustee and U.S. Bank will become Trustee under the Indenture. The Noteholders will continue to possess all of the rights, privileges and powers currently provided the Noteholders under the Indenture.
Changes in Noteholder Rights:
There will be no significant change in the rights of the Noteholders under the Indenture by reason of the substitution of U.S. Bank as Trustee.
Consent Requirement:
The Indenture requires that any Successor Trustee must be approved by the Consent of a Majority in Interest of the Noteholders. Consequently, withholding of consents and abstentions with respect to Notes has the effect of a disapproval of the admission of U.S. Bank as Successor Trustee.
How to Give Your Consent:
Complete and sign the enclosed Consent Form and return it to us at our corporate offices located at 955 West Imperial Highway, Brea, California 92821, telephone number 800-753-6742, fax number 714-671-5767, e-mail info@ministrypartners.org. Consents may be delivered in person, by mail or overnight delivery, or by facsimile or e-mail.
You may not Withdraw Your Consent:
You may not revoke your consent after it is mailed or otherwise delivered to the Company. However, we will not take any actions on the Consents prior to September 29, 2008.
Recommendations of the Board of Directors:
The Board of Directors of the Company recommends that you "consent" to the admission of U.S. Bank as Successor Trustee under the Indenture.

THE CONSENT PROCEDURE

Who is entitled to consent?

Only Noteholders of record at the close of business on the record date, September 1, 2008 (the "Record Date"), are entitled to consent to the admission of U.S. Bank as Successor Trustee. Each Note of record entitles its holder to submit one Consent Form. The significance of your Consent Form will be proportionate with the unpaid principal amount of your Note(s) on the Record Date.
 
2

 
How do I give my consent?

If you complete and properly sign the accompanying Consent Form and return it to us, it will count toward the Consent of the Majority In Interest of the Noteholders required to approve the admission of U.S. Bank as Successor Trustee.

Can I change my consent after I return my Consent Form?

No. After you have submitted your signed Consent Form, you may not revoke your consent. If you submitted a Consent Form disapproving the appointment of U.S. Bank or abstaining, you may later consent to the appointment of U.S. Bank by submitting a Consent Form bearing a later date.

What constitutes a Majority In Interest?

The appointment of U.S. Bank as Successor Trustee under the Indenture pursuant to the Supplemental Agreement requires the approval by written consent of a Majority In Interest of the Noteholders holding Notes outstanding as of the Record Date. Under the Indenture, a "Majority In Interest" means, as of the date of determination, a majority of the unpaid principal amount of all issued and outstanding Notes plus all unpaid interest due thereon (as reflected on the books and records of the Company). In determining whether the Noteholders have concurred in any consent, Notes owned by the Company and its Affiliates shall be disregarded. Consequently, withholding of consents or abstentions will have the effect of a non-approval of the proposal.

Who pays for the consent solicitation?

We will pay the cost of the consent solicitation, including the cost of preparing, printing and mailing the Information Statement and the enclosed Consent Form. In addition to the use of mail, our employees may solicit consents personally and by telephone. Our employees will receive no compensation for soliciting consents other than their regular salaries. We will request banks, brokers and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries to forward copies of the consent solicitation materials to beneficial owners of our Common Stock and to request authority for the execution of consent forms. We may reimburse such persons for their expenses incurred in connection with these activities.

What are the Board's recommendations?

Our Board of Directors unanimously recommends that Noteholders mark their Consent Form "For" the appointment of U.S. Bank as Successor Trustee under the Indenture pursuant to the Supplemental Agreement as more fully described below.

THE ADMISSION OF U.S. BANK AS SUCCESSOR TRUSTEE

Overview

You are being asked to consent to, and hereby approve, the admission of U.S. Bank as Successor Trustee under the Indenture. The admission of U.S. Bank as Successor Trustee will be made pursuant to the Supplemental Agreement, which is an amendment to the Indenture. The Supplemental Agreement also makes certain amendments or changes to the Indenture. By consenting to the appointment of U.S. Bank as Successor Trustee, you will also be consenting and agreeing to the Supplemental Agreement and thus to the changes made thereby to the Indenture. These changes are discussed in detail below.

Procedure for Admission of U.S. Bank

U.S. Bank has agreed to become Successor Trustee under the Indenture upon the resignation of King Trust.  U.S. Bank's admission as Successor Trustee will be made pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Supplemental Agreement. The admission of U.S. Bank as Successor Trustee will be effective upon the approval of the proposal by the Noteholders.

Reasons for Admission of U.S. Bank

King Trust, which has served as Trustee under the Indenture since its creation, has requested to resign as Trustee. U.S. Bank has agreed to serve as Successor Trustee under the Indenture pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Supplemental Agreement. On August 7, 2008, the Company, King Trust and U.S. Bank entered into the Agreement of Resignation, Appointment and Acceptance, a copy of which is included as Exhibit B to this Information Statement, whereby the parties consented to and agreed to the resignation of King Trust as Trustee and the appointment of U.S. Bank as Successor Trustee, subject to and effective on the consent of a Majority In Interest of the Noteholders.
 
Material Terms of the Supplemental Agreement

Pursuant to the Supplemental Agreement, U.S. Bank adopts and agrees, as Trustee, to be bound by the terms and conditions of the Indenture, as amended by the Supplemental Agreement. The Supplemental Agreement includes six amendments to the Indenture, as follows:

 
   1.
Article I of the Indenture is amended expressly to provide that the Indenture is qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939. The definition of "Agreement" currently states that the Indenture is not qualified, which statement is incorrect. The sole purpose of this change is to delete the incorrect reference to non-qualification of the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939.

 
   2.
Article II of the Indenture is amended to state that U.S. Bank National Association is defined as Trustee under the Indenture.

 
   3.
Article II, Section 2.08 of the Indenture is amended to specifically provide that the Trustee may, but is not obligated to, request the Company to provide the status of the amount of principal and interest paid or outstanding in respect to each of the Notes. The Company believes that the Trustee's authority to request this information is implicit in the Indenture and that this change is merely a clarification of that right.

 
   4.
Article III, Section 3.03 of the Indenture is amended to provide that if an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise the right and powers vested in it by the Indenture using the same degree and skill as a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs. This is the required standard under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939. Currently, Section 3.03 does not specifically address the Trustee's conduct in the case of an Event of Default. U.S. Bank and the Company believe that this change is necessary to clarify the Trustee's duties under the Indenture if an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, as provided by the Trust Indenture Act of 1939.

 
   5.
Article II, Section 11.02(a) of the Indenture is amended to set forth the address of U.S. Bank.
 
4

 
 
   6.
Article VII, Section 8.02(a) of the Indenture is amended to require that at least one of the Company's officers shall sign the Notes by manual or facsimile signature. The Company has requested this change to make it clear that the Company may issue Notes under the signature of a single officer.

Operation of Indenture Following Admission of U.S. Bank as Trustee

The Company does not anticipate that there will be any significant changes to the rights of the Noteholders under the Indenture following the admission of U.S. Bank as Successor Trustee or the changes to the Indenture made under the Supplemental Agreement.

Information concerning U.S. Bank is included in its Form T-1 included as an exhibit to the Company's Form S-1/A filed August 22, 2008 with the SEC. See "Documents Incorporated By Reference" below.

Risks Associated with the Change in Trustees

Interest of Certain Persons in Appointment of U.S. Bank

  Trustee Resignation

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We are delivering this letter to you on behalf of Ministry Partners Investment Corporation (the "Company") in connection with the resignation of King Trust Company, N.A. ("King Trust") as Trustee under the Loan and Trust Agreement effective April 20, 2005 by and between the Company, you as Trustee, and the Holders of the Alpha Class Notes issued thereunder (the "Indenture").  King Trust will resign as Trustee under the Indenture, pursuant to the Agreement of Resignation Appointment and Acceptance by and between the Company, King Trust and U.S. Bank National Association as Successor Trustee (the "Resignation Agreement").
 
This letter is to serve as our opinion within the meaning of Article III, Section 3.11(b) and Section 3.12 of the Indenture.  This letter is delivered to and may be relied upon by you pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (the "TIA"), including Sections 3.14(a)(4) and 3.14(c) thereof.
 
We have examined such documents, certificates, orders and proceedings and made such investigation as we deemed necessary to or appropriate in order to give our opinions herein.  The nature and scope of our examination and investigation upon which our opinions herein are based includes our review of (a) the current Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Company, (b) the resolutions of the Board of Directors authorizing the Company's execution and delivery of the Resignation Agreement, (c) the Resignation Agreement, (d) the procedures and practices employed by the Company in issuing Notes under the Indenture and maintaining its books and records with respect thereto, (e) the Indenture, including the exhibits thereto and the conditions precedent to the resignation of the Trustee and the appointment of a Successor Trustee, (f) the Company's Form S-1/A and Schedule 14(c) Information Statement filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and (g) the Consent Procedure by which the Consents obtained from the Holders of the Alpha Class Notes constituting a Majority in Interest approving the Resignation Agreement were obtained.  In our opinion, our foregoing examinations and investigation is sufficient to enable us to express informed opinions herein.
 
It is our opinion that all such conditions precedent have been complied with other than the due appointment of the Successor Trustee by a Majority in Interest of the Holders as required by Section 7.01(b) of the Indenture.
 
We have provided legal consultation to the Company as referenced in the Certificate of President and the Certificate of the Assistant Secretary of even date herewith.
 
Nothing has come to our attention which would cause us to believe that any action or inaction by King Trust, including its execution and delivery of the Resignation Agreement and performance thereunder, in reliance on this letter would be grossly negligent, negligent, not in good faith or otherwise cause you not to be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 3.06(c) of the Indenture or under the Resignation Agreement.
