Why Storehouse

Your investment does double duty

Kingdom impact

Every dollar supports churches acquiring, constructing, renovating, and refinancing the facilities they use to serve.

Competitive returns

Terms from 6 to 36 months plus Loan Support Certificates, with interest compounded quarterly or paid out to you.

A shared mission

Open to members, contributors, and participants in HMU and affiliated organizations who share our convictions.

The vision

God is calling us to think generationally

We believe He is preparing us to grow, not just to meet today's needs, but to build a foundation our children and their children can stand on: a tool that funds Kingdom work, supports new communities as they emerge, and gives our people real financial infrastructure for the world that's coming. Storehouse is how we answer that call, together.

The Joseph pattern: store in the years of plenty, and eat from the harvest, not the seed.

“A good person leaves an inheritance for their children’s children.”
Proverbs 13:22

A new building under construction
Real ministry

Buildings that become a home for the church

Behind every certificate is a sanctuary filled, a classroom built, a debt refinanced so a congregation can give more to its mission. Your investment helps make the room.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about investing in Storehouse Certificates.

What is a Storehouse Certificate? (in plain terms)
Think of it like a certificate of deposit (CD) at a bank: you set aside a sum of money for a fixed length of time, and you're paid interest for it. The difference is who holds the money and what it does. With a Storehouse Certificate, you are lending to the Fund. Your money is pooled with other investors' and lent out as mortgages to churches that are building, expanding, or refinancing, and in return the Fund pays you interest. Unlike a bank CD, it is not a bank deposit and not FDIC insured, so your return depends on the financial strength of the Fund.
What types of certificates are offered, and what does each one mean?
All of them work the same basic way: you lend money to the Fund for a set time and earn interest. They differ in how long, how much, and who they're for.
  • Term Certificates. The standard option. You choose how long to lend (6, 12, 18, 24, or 36 months), and generally, the longer the term, the higher the rate. You can start with as little as $500. Interest is added to your balance every three months, or paid out to you.
  • Loan Support Certificate. A longer commitment of 3 to 5 years, for investors whose main goal is to support the mission. You can often choose your own rate within a set range, and accepting a lower rate means more of your money goes toward helping churches. Minimum $1,000. Think of it as investing and giving at the same time.
  • Negotiated-rate certificates. For larger investments of $50,000 or more, where the rate and term are worked out with you individually instead of taken from the standard list.
  • Institutional certificates. The same as above, but for organizations such as a church, ministry, business, or trust investing $50,000 or more, rather than an individual.
Any of these can also be held inside a self-directed IRA. See Certificate Types & Rates for the full table.
Who is eligible to invest?
Members, contributors (including prior investors), and participants in HMU, the Fund, or affiliated programs and organizations, as well as other religious organizations with a programmatic relationship to HMU or the Fund. Investors affirm this affiliation on the purchase application. Certificates are offered only where registered or exempt.
How do I get the Offering Circular?
Use the Request Information form. We provide the Offering Circular and application directly to interested investors.
Are certificates insured or guaranteed?
No. Certificates are not bank deposits, are not FDIC insured, and are not guaranteed by HMU or any affiliated church, school, or ministry. Investors rely on the financial condition of the Fund.
What are the minimums and terms?
Term certificates start at $500, with terms of 6, 12, 18, 24, and 36 months. The Loan Support Certificate has a $1,000 minimum and a 3–5 year term. Negotiated-rate and institutional certificates have a $50,000 minimum.
How is interest paid?
Interest is compounded quarterly and added to principal, or you may receive simple interest paid by check or electronic funds transfer. The Fund issues 1099-INT forms; interest is taxable as ordinary income.
Can I redeem early?
Term certificates redeemed early generally forfeit 180 days of interest unless waived by the Fund. At least 30 days' prior written notice is required.
Can certificates be held in an IRA?
Yes. Certificates can be held in self-directed IRAs through a compatible custodian.
How are my invested funds used?
Your funds are pooled with those of other investors and lent as mortgages to HMU-affiliated churches and ministries for the acquisition, construction, renovation, expansion, and refinancing of their facilities. A portion is also held in liquid reserves to meet redemptions.
