About Us
Empowering the Church's Mission Through a Cycle of Generosity
Wesleyan Impact Partners has been honored to be a ministry partner to churches, nonprofits, and leaders, providing investments, loans, gift planning, and leadership cohorts to nurture thriving congregations and flourishing communities across the United States.
Our ministry is made possible by individuals, congregations, and nonprofits who believe in the church’s mission, invest with Wesleyan Impact Partners, and get a return on their investment*, knowing those dollars will be loaned to congregations and nonprofits doing Christ’s loving work in the world.
Generous individuals with Wesleyan Impact Partners create gift plans to create lasting legacies, taking care of loved ones and supporting the congregations and causes they cherish most.
Investors and generous individuals together create a cycle of generosity that supports the mission of the church for the long term.
As a nonprofit, Wesleyan Impact Partners reinvests its net revenue in the church’s mission, supporting individual churches and nonprofits and sustaining their positive impact on the lives of those they serve.

Renovating Homes and Launching a New Daycare
Funded by a flexible-term loan from Wesleyan Impact Partners, McKendree-Simms-Brookland United Methodist Church in D.C. renovated homes, expanded their affordable housing ministry, and launched a new daycare, providing much needed support and hope to their neighbors and building community.
McKendree feels Wesleyan Impact Partners is a real partner in a circle of mission and giving, where their loan payments are themselves a way of giving back to the church and growing other ministries.
