2025 in Review
Looking back with gratitude and celebration.
Looking back on 2025, it’s easy to simply look at the numbers because they give us much to celebrate!
- Seventeen new investors began their BIC Foundation (BICF) journey, accounting for $1,964,512 new invested dollars, bringing the Foundation to a total of just over $49 million.
- BICF issued eight new loans to congregations and ministries this year, valued at nearly $4.4 million, bringing the total loan portfolio to $36.6 million.
- Additionally, six congregations received Matching Grants to support and launch new ministries in their communities, collectively totaling $10,000 in new ministry funding.
But for the BIC Foundation, investments and loans are about so much more than the numbers. They’re about financially empowering transformative ministry through diverse investment options, competitive loan offerings, ministry funding, and more.
Look beyond the numbers to see testaments of God’s hand at work through his faithful followers:
- A New Mexican congregation that ministers to families and individuals impacted by incarceration purchased their building, giving them a permanent ministry hub.
- Teens in Kansas ran a kids’ program to help new families connect with their congregation.
- A Pennsylvania business owner and his wife used their assets to give sacrificially, donating $167,000 dollars to U.S. and global ministry.
- A small congregation in Ohio transformed a run-down property into a place of resurrection, new life, and hope for people experiencing homelessness.
These examples showcase the true impact of the BIC Foundation.
“Thank you for your support and involvement this year,” says Jim Reynolds, executive director of BICF. “We look forward to new partnership opportunities in 2026.”
