Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies	1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Nature of Business American Church Mortgage Company, a Minnesota corporation, was incorporated on May 27, 1994. The Company was organized to engage primarily in the business of making mortgage loans to churches and other nonprofit religious organizations throughout the United States, on terms established for individual organizations. Accounting Estimates Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The most sensitive estimates relate to the realizability of the mortgage loans receivable, the valuation of the bond portfolio and the valuation of real estate held for sale. It is at least reasonably possible that these estimates could change in the near term and that the effect of the change, if any, may be material to the financial statements. Concentration of Credit Risk The Company's loans have been granted to churches and other non-profit religious organizations. The ability of the Company’s debtors to honor their contracts is dependent on member contributions and the involvement in the church or organization of its senior pastor. Cash and Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains accounts primarily at two financial institutions. At times throughout the year, the Company’s cash and equivalents balances may exceed amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Cash in money market funds is not federally insured. The Company had $14,841 and $2,233,533 in a money market fund account at December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. Bond Portfolio The Company accounts for the bond portfolio under the Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 320, Investments-Debt and Equity Securities. The Company classifies the bond portfolio as “available-for sale” and measures the portfolio at fair value. While the bonds are generally held until contractual maturity, the Company classifies them as available for sale as the bonds may be used to repay secured investor certificates or provide additional liquidity or working capital in the short term. The Company has classified $111,000 and $84,000 in bonds as current assets as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, based on management’s estimates for liquidity requirements and contractual maturities of certain bonds maturing in 2016 and 2015, respectively. Allowance for Mortgage Loans Receivable The Company records mortgage loans receivable at estimated net realizable value, which is the unpaid principal balances of the mortgage loans receivable, less the allowance for mortgage loans and less deferred loan origination fees. The Company’s loan policy provides an allowance for estimated uncollectible loans based on an evaluation of the current status of the loan portfolio with application of reserve percentages to specific loans based on payment status. This policy reserves for principal amounts outstanding on a specific loan if cumulative interruptions occur in the normal payment schedule of the loan, therefore, the Company recognizes a provision for losses and an allowance for the outstanding principal amount of the loan in the Company’s portfolio if the amount is in doubt of collection. Additionally, no interest income is recognized on impaired loans that are declared to be in default and are in the foreclosure process. At December 31, 2016, the Company reserved $1,311,983 for seventeen mortgage loans. Twelve of these loans are three or more mortgage payments in arrears of which three are declared to be in default and two are in the foreclosure process. The total principal amount of these twelve loans totals approximately $5,302,000 at December 31, 2016. At December 31, 2015, the Company reserved $1,204,833 for eighteen mortgage loans. Thirteen of these loans are three or more mortgage payments in arrears of which two are declared to be in default and three loans are in the foreclosure process. The total principal amount of these thirteen loans totals approximately $5,503,000 A summary of transactions in the allowance for mortgage loans for the years ended December 31 is as follows: 2016 2015 Balance at beginning of year $ 1,204,833 $ 1,177,231 Provision for losses on mortgage loans receivable 155,056 188,634 Reclassified to real estate held for sale (29,806 ) — Charge-offs (18,100 ) (161,032 ) Balance at end of year $ 1,311,983 $ 1,204,833 The total impaired loans, which are loans that are in the foreclosure process or are declared to be in default, were approximately $1,853,000 and $1,779,000 at December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, which the Company believes are adequately secured by the underlying collateral and the allowance for mortgage loans. Approximately $663,000 of the Company’s allowance for mortgage loans was allocated to these loans at December 31, 2016. Approximately $581,000 of the Company’s allowance for mortgage loans was allocated to impaired loans at December 31, 2015. The Company will declare a loan to be in default and will place the loan on non-accrual status when the following thresholds have been met: (i) the borrower has missed three consecutive mortgage payments; (ii) the borrower has not communicated to the Company any legitimate reason for delinquency in its payments to the Company and has not arranged for the re-continuance of payments; (iii) lines of communication to the borrower have broken down such that any reasonable prospect of rehabilitating the loan and return of regular payments is gone. The Company’s policies on payments received and interest accrued on non-accrual loans are as follows: (i) The Company will accept payments on loans that are currently on non-accrual status when a borrower has communicated to us that they intend to meet their mortgage obligations. A payment made on a non-accrual loan is considered a good faith deposit as to the intent to resume their mortgage payment obligation. This good faith deposit is credited back to interest first then principal as stated in the mortgage loan documentation. (ii) A letter outlining the re-payment terms or the restructure terms (if any) of the loan is provided to the borrower. This letter will be signed by the Senior Pastor and all board members of the borrower. This letter resumes the obligation to make payments on non-accrual loans. (iii) The borrower must meet all its payment obligations for the next 120 days without interruption in order to be removed from non-accrual status. No interest income was recognized on non-accrual loans for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015. When a loan is declared in default according to the Company’s policy or deemed to be doubtful of collection, the loan committee of the Advisor to the Company will direct the staff to charge-off the uncollectable receivables. Loans totaling approximately $3,449,000 and $3,724,000 exceeded 90 days past due but continued to accrue interest as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The Company believes that continued interest accruals are appropriate because the loans are well secured, not deemed to be in technical default and the Company is actively pursuing collection of past due payments. Real Estate Held for Sale As of December 31, 2016, the company has two properties acquired through foreclosure, and one via deed in lieu of foreclosure, with net carrying balances totaling approximately $341,000. We have listed the properties for sale through local realtors except for the property for which we received a deed in lieu of foreclosure. The Church is still occupying the property and paying rent while trying to either sell the building or obtain refinancing. Each property is valued based on its current listing price less any anticipated selling costs, including, for example, realtor commissions. The Company records real estate held for sale at the estimated fair value, which is net of the expected expenses related to the sale of the real estate. The fair value of our real estate held for sale, which represents the carrying value, is approximately $341,000 as of December 31, 2016 after total impairment of approximately $277,000. Foreclosure was completed in 2004 on a church located in Battle Creek, Michigan. The church congregation disbanded and the church property is currently unoccupied. The Company owns and took possession of the church and has listed the property for sale through a local realtor. A deed in lieu of foreclosure was received in 2008 from a church located in Pine Bluff, Arkansas. The Company owns and took possession of the church while the church attempts to obtain financing from another lender. If alternative financing cannot be obtained, the Company will list the church for sale with a local realtor. The church is paying monthly rent until the property is refinanced or sold. Foreclosure was completed in 2016 on a church located in Detroit, Michigan. The Company took possession of the property in March 2016 and listed it for sale through a local realtor. Carrying Value of Long-Lived Assets The Company tests long-lived assets or asset groups for recoverability when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Circumstances which could trigger a review include, but are not limited to: significant decreases in the market price of the asset; significant adverse changes in the business climate or legal factors; accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or construction of the asset; current period cash flow or operating losses combined with a history of losses or a forecast of continuing losses associated with the use of the asset; and current expectation that the asset will more likely than not be sold or disposed of significantly before the end of the estimated useful life. Recoverability is assessed based on the carrying amount of the asset compared to the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and the eventual disposal of the asset, as well as specific appraisal in certain instances. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount is deemed not recoverable and exceeds fair value as determined through various valuation techniques including, but not limited to, discounted cash flow models, quoted market values, and third party independent appraisals. Revenue Recognition Interest income on mortgage loans receivable and the bond portfolio is recognized as earned per the terms of the specific asset. Other income included with interest represents cash received for loan origination fees, which are recognized over the life of the loan as an adjustment to the yield on the loan. Deferred Financing Costs The Company defers the costs related to obtaining financing. These costs are amortized over the life of the financing using the straight line method, which approximates the effective interest method. Income (loss) Per Common Share No adjustments were made to income (loss) for the purpose of calculating earnings (loss) per share, as there were no potential dilutive shares outstanding. Income Taxes The Company elected to be taxed as a Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT). Accordingly, the Company is not subject to Federal income tax to the extent of distributions to its shareholders if the Company meets all the requirements under the REIT provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. The Company evaluated its recognition of income tax benefits using a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring tax benefits when realization of the benefits is uncertain. The first step is to determine whether the benefit meets the more-likely-than-not condition for recognition and the second step is to determine the amount to be recognized based on the cumulative probability that exceeds 50%. Primarily due to the Company’s tax status as a REIT, the Company does not have any significant tax uncertainties that would require recognition or disclosure. Subsequent Events The Company has evaluated events and transaction through the date the financial statements were available to be issued. No material events or transactions occurred in the time period referenced above requiring adjustment to or disclosure in the December 31, 2016 financial statements.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurement	2. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT The Company measures certain financial instruments at fair value in our balance sheets. The fair value of these instruments is based on valuations that include inputs that can be classified within one of the three levels of a hierarchy. Level 1 inputs include quoted market prices in an active market for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are market data, other than Level 1, that are observable either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted market prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted market prices in an inactive market, and other observable information that can be corroborated by market data. Level 3 inputs are unobservable and corroborated by little or no market data. Except for the bond portfolio, which is required by authoritative accounting guidance to be recorded at fair value in our balance sheets, the Company elected not to record any other financial assets or liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis. We recorded an aggregate other than temporary impairment for losses on our Agape bonds (Note 3), which totaled $458,000 and $200,000 for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The following table summarizes the Company’s financial instruments that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis: Fair Value Measurement December 31, 2016 Fair Value Level 3 Bond portfolio $ 11,482,616 $ 11,482,616 Fair Value Measurement December 31, 2015 Fair Value Level 3 Bond portfolio $ 10,513,428 $ 10,513,428 We determine the fair value of the bond portfolio shown in the table above by comparing it with similar instruments in inactive markets. The analysis reflects the contractual terms of the bonds, which are callable at par by the issuer at any time, and the anticipated cash flows of the bonds and uses observable and unobservable market-based inputs. Unobservable inputs include our internal credit rating and selection of similar bonds for valuation. The change in Level 3 assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis is summarized as follows: Bond Portfolio Balance at December 31, 2015 $10,513,428 Purchases 1,622,000 Proceeds (394,812) Other than temporary investment (258,000 Balance at December 31, 2016 $ 11,482,616 Real estate held for sale and impaired loans are recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. The fair value of real estate held for sale was based upon the listed sales price less expected selling costs, which is a Level 3 input. The resulting impairment charges were $19,173 and $193,104 for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The following table summarizes the Company’s financial instruments that were measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis: December 31, 2016 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Fair Value at December 31, Impaired Loans $ — $ — $ 1,189,873 $ 1,189,873 Real estate held for resale — — 340,872 340,872 $ — $ — $ 1,530,745 $ 1,530,745 December 31, 2015 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Fair Value at December 31, Impaired Loans $ — $ — $ 1,197,302 $ 1,197,302 Real estate held for resale — — 697,422 697,422 $ — $ — $ 1,894,724 $ 1,894,724 The change in Level 3 assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis is summarized as follows: Impaired Loans Real Estate Held for Sale Balance at December 31, 2015 $1,197,302 $697,422 Additions/Acquisitions 221,683 134,173 Dispositions/Proceeds (134,173) (471,550) Impairment (111,362 ( 19,173) Balance at December 31, 2016 $ 1,173,450 $ 340,872

Mortgage Loans Receivable and Bond Portfolio	3. MORTGAGE LOANS RECEIVABLE AND BOND PORTFOLIO At December 31, 2016, the Company had first mortgage loans receivable totaling $24,732,280. The loans bear interest ranging from 0% to 10.25% with a weighted average of approximately 8.25% at December 31, 2016. The Company had first mortgage loans receivable totaling $25,354,876 that bore interest ranging from 1.00% to 10.25% with a weighted average of approximately 8.35% at December 31, 2015. The Company has a portfolio of secured church bonds at December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, which are carried at fair value. The bonds pay either semi-annual or quarterly interest ranging from 2.75% to 9.75%. The aggregate par value of secured church bonds equaled approximately $11,940,616 at December 31, 2016 with a weighted average interest rate of 6.77% and approximately $10,713,428 at December 31, 2015 with a weighted average interest rate of 6.92%. These bonds are due at various maturity dates through May 2046. The Company has recorded an aggregate other than temporary impairment of $458,000 and $200,000 at December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, for the First Mortgage Bonds issued by Agape Assembly Baptist Church. This bond series in the aggregate constitute approximately 8.50% and 10.00% of the bond portfolio at December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The Company had maturities and redemptions of bonds of approximately $395,000 and $145,000 in 2016 and 2015, respectively. The contractual maturity schedule for mortgage loans receivable and the bond portfolio as of December 31, 2016, is as follows: Mortgage Loans Bond Portfolio 2017 $ 790,083 $ 111,000 2018 3,283,240 139,000 2019 1,326,144 144,000 2020 1,389,493 156,000 2021 814,392 221,000 Thereafter 17,128,928 11,169,616 24,732,280 11,940,616 Less loan loss and other than temporary impairment on bonds allowance (1,311,983) (458,000) Less deferred origination income (298,499 ___-____ Totals $ 23,121,798 $ 11,482,616 The Company currently owns $529,000 First Mortgage Bonds and $497,000 Second Mortgage Bonds issued by Agape Assembly Baptist Church located in Orlando, Florida. The total principal amount of First Mortgage Bonds issued by Agape is $7,200,000, and the total principal amount of Second Mortgage Bonds issued is $715,000. Agape defaulted on its payment obligations to bondholders in September 2010. The church subsequently commenced a Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization proceeding regarding the property that secures the First Mortgage Bonds in December 2010. Agape is currently performing under a loan modification agreement. In October 2014, a minimum of 80% of the bondholders of Agape agreed to a modification in the terms of their bonds which has resulted in the resumption of both principal and interest payments to both the first and second mortgage bond holders. Both the First Mortgage Bonds and Second Mortgage Bonds have been modified to a fully amortized fixed rate, quarterly interest payment of 6.25% with a new maturity date of September 2037 for all the issued and outstanding bonds. The Company, along with all other bondholders, has a superior lien over all other creditors. The Company has an aggregate other than temporary impairment of $458,000 and $200,000 for the First and Second Mortgage Bonds at December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, which effectively reduces the bonds to the fair value amount management believes will be recovered.

Secured Investor Certificates	4. SECURED INVESTOR CERTIFICATES Secured investor certificates are collateralized by certain mortgage loans receivable or secured church bonds of approximately the same value as the certificates. The weighted average interest rate on the certificates was 6.47% and 6.44% at December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Holders of the secured investor certificates may renew certificates at the current rates and terms upon maturity at the Company’s discretion. Renewals upon maturity are considered neither proceeds from nor issuance of secured investor certificates. Renewals totaled approximately $831,000 and $958,000 during 2016 and 2015, respectively. The secured investor certificates have certain financial and non-financial covenants identified in the respective series’ trust indentures. The estimated maturity schedule for the secured investor certificates at December 31, 2016 is as follows: 2017 $ 2,803,000 2018 4,116,000 2019 2,333,000 2020 4,058,000 2021 1,928,000 Thereafter 12,686,000 Totals $ 27,924,000 In July 2014, the Company filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission to offer $10,000,000 worth of Series D secured investor certificates. The offering was declared effective by the SEC on August 12, 2014. The offering was renewed with an effective date of September 23, 2016. The certificates are being offered in multiples of $1,000 with interest rates ranging from 4.00% to 6.50%, subject to changing market rates, and maturities from 5 and 7 to 15 years. The certificates are collateralized by certain mortgage loans receivable and church bonds of approximately the same value. At December 31, 2016, approximately 7,296 Series D certificates had been issued and were outstanding for $7,296,000.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	6. INCOME TAXES As discussed in Note 1, a REIT is subject to taxation to the extent that taxable income exceeds dividend distributions to shareholders. In order to maintain status as a REIT, the Company is required to distribute at least 90% of its taxable income. In 2016, the Company had pretax loss of $(337,207) and distributions to shareholders in the form of dividends during the tax year of $402,672. The tax benefit based on statutory rates to the Company, pre-dividends would have been $(114,650) in 2016. In 2015, the Company had pretax loss of $(38,234) and distributions to shareholders in the form of dividends during the tax year of $469,783. The tax based on statutory rates to the Company, pre-dividends, would have been $(13,000) in 2015. The Company paid out 100% of taxable income in dividends in 2016 and 2015. The following reconciles the income tax provision with the expected provision obtained by applying statutory rates to pretax income: 2016 2015 Tax based on statutory rates $ (114,650 ) $ (13,000 ) Tax effect on realized losses on properties (361,276 ) — Benefit of REIT distributions 475,926 13,000 Total tax provision $ — $ — The components of deferred income tax assets are as follows: 2016 2015 Loan origination fees $ 101,490 $ 114,017 Loan and bond loss provisions 446,074 477,643 Real-estate impairment 94,254 271,984 Valuation allowance (641,818 ) (863,644 ) Deferred income tax asset, net $ — $ — The change in the valuation allowance was approximately $(222,000) and $(64,000) for 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Notes to Financial Statements
Fair Value of Financial Instruments	7. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The Company is required to disclose the fair value information about financial instruments, where it is practicable to estimate that value. Because assumptions used in these valuation techniques are inherently subjective in nature, the estimated fair values cannot always be substantiated by comparison to independent market quotes and, in many cases, the estimated fair values could not necessarily be realized in an immediate sale or settlement of the instrument. The fair value estimates presented herein are based on relevant information available to management as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Management is not aware of any factors that would significantly affect these estimated fair value amounts. As these reporting requirements exclude certain financial instruments and all non-financial instruments, the aggregate fair value amounts presented herein do not represent management’s estimate of the underlying value of the Company. The estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments, none of which are held for trading purposes, are as follows: December 31, 2016 December 31, 2015 Carrying Fair Carrying Fair Amount Value Amount Value Cash and equivalents $ 3,382,994 $ 3,382,994 $ 4,377,110 $ 4,377,110 Accounts receivable 219,352 219,352 189,609 189,609 Interest receivable 175,912 175,912 172,169 172,169 Mortgage loans receivable 24,732,280 25,646,901 25,354,876 29,054,399 Bond portfolio 11,940,616 11,940,616 10,713,428 10,713,428 Secured investor certificates 27,924,000 35,415,944 28,246,000 36,995,152 The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument for which it is practicable to estimate that value: Cash and equivalents Due to their short-term nature, the carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value. Accounts receivable The carrying amount of accounts receivable approximates fair value. Interest receivable The carrying amount of interest receivable approximates fair value. Mortgage loans receivable The fair value of the mortgage loans receivable is currently more than the carrying value as the portfolio is currently yielding a higher rate than similar mortgages with similar terms for borrowers with similar credit quality. The credit markets in which the Company conducts business have experienced an increase in interest rates resulting in the fair value of the mortgage loans falling during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016. Bond portfolio We determine the fair value of the bond portfolio shown in the table above by comparing with similar instruments in inactive markets. The analysis reflects the contractual terms of the bonds, which are callable at par by the issuer at any time, and the anticipated cash flows of the bonds and uses observable and unobservable market-based inputs. Unobservable inputs include our internal credit rating and selection of similar bonds for valuation. Secured investor certificates The fair value of the secured investor certificates is currently greater than the carrying value due to higher interest rates than current market rates.

Summary Of Significant Accoun15

Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2016
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Nature of Business	Nature of Business American Church Mortgage Company, a Minnesota corporation, was incorporated on May 27, 1994. The Company was organized to engage primarily in the business of making mortgage loans to churches and other nonprofit religious organizations throughout the United States, on terms established for individual organizations.
Accounting Estimates	Accounting Estimates Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The most sensitive estimates relate to the realizability of the mortgage loans receivable, the valuation of the bond portfolio and real estate held for sale. It is at least reasonably possible that these estimates could change in the near term and that the effect of the change, if any, may be material to the financial statements.
Concentration of Credit Risk	Concentration of Credit Risk The Company's loans have been granted to churches and other non-profit religious organizations. The ability of the Company’s debtors to honor their contracts is dependent on member contributions and the involvement in the church or organization of its senior pastor.
Cash and Equivalents	Cash and Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains accounts primarily at two financial institutions. At times throughout the year, the Company’s cash and equivalents balances may exceed amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Cash in money market funds is not federally insured. The Company had $14,841 and $2,233,533 in a money market fund account at December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.
Bond Portfolio	Bond Portfolio The Company accounts for the bond portfolio under the Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 320, Investments-Debt and Equity Securities. The Company classifies the bond portfolio as “available-for sale” and measures the portfolio at fair value. While the bonds are generally held until contractual maturity, the Company classifies them as available for sale as the bonds may be used to repay secured investor certificates or provide additional liquidity or working capital in the short term. The Company has classified $111,000 and $84,000 in bonds as current assets as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, based on management’s estimates for liquidity requirements and contractual maturities of certain bonds maturing in 2016 and 2015, respectively.
Allowance for Mortgage Loans Receivable	Allowance for Mortgage Loans Receivable The Company records mortgage loans receivable at estimated net realizable value, which is the unpaid principal balances of the mortgage loans receivable, less the allowance for mortgage loans and less deferred loan origination fees. The Company’s loan policy provides an allowance for estimated uncollectible loans based on an evaluation of the current status of the loan portfolio with application of reserve percentages to specific loans based on payment status. This policy reserves for principal amounts outstanding on a specific loan if cumulative interruptions occur in the normal payment schedule of the loan, therefore, the Company recognizes a provision for losses and an allowance for the outstanding principal amount of the loan in the Company’s portfolio if the amount is in doubt of collection. Additionally, no interest income is recognized on impaired loans that are declared to be in default and are in the foreclosure process. At December 31, 2016, the Company reserved $1,311,983 for seventeen mortgage loans. Twelve of these loans are three or more mortgage payments in arrears of which three are declared to be in default and two are in the foreclosure process. The total principal amount of these twelve loans totals approximately $5,302,000 at December 31, 2016. At December 31, 2015, the Company reserved $1,204,833 for eighteen mortgage loans. Thirteen of these loans are three or more mortgage payments in arrears of which two are declared to be in default and three loans are in the foreclosure process. The total principal amount of these thirteen loans totals approximately $5,503,000 A summary of transactions in the allowance for mortgage loans for the years ended December 31 is as follows: 2016 2015 Balance at beginning of year $ 1,204,833 $ 1,177,231 Provision for losses on mortgage loans receivable 155,056 188,634 Reclassified to real estate held for sale (29,806 ) — Charge-offs (18,100 ) (161,032 ) Balance at end of year $ 1,311,983 $ 1,204,833 The total impaired loans, which are loans that are in the foreclosure process or are declared to be in default, were approximately $1,853,000 and $1,779,000 at December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, which the Company believes are adequately secured by the underlying collateral and the allowance for mortgage loans. Approximately $663,000 of the Company’s allowance for mortgage loans was allocated to these loans at December 31, 2016. Approximately $581,000 of the Company’s allowance for mortgage loans was allocated to impaired loans at December 31, 2015. The Company will declare a loan to be in default and will place the loan on non-accrual status when the following thresholds have been met: (i) the borrower has missed three consecutive mortgage payments; (ii) the borrower has not communicated to the Company any legitimate reason for delinquency in its payments to the Company and has not arranged for the re-continuance of payments; (iii) lines of communication to the borrower have broken down such that any reasonable prospect of rehabilitating the loan and return of regular payments is gone. The Company’s policies on payments received and interest accrued on non-accrual loans are as follows: (i) The Company will accept payments on loans that are currently on non-accrual status when a borrower has communicated to us that they intend to meet their mortgage obligations. A payment made on a non-accrual loan is considered a good faith deposit as to the intent to resume their mortgage payment obligation. This good faith deposit is credited back to interest first then principal as stated in the mortgage loan documentation. (ii) A letter outlining the re-payment terms or the restructure terms (if any) of the loan is provided to the borrower. This letter will be signed by the Senior Pastor and all board members of the borrower. This letter resumes the obligation to make payments on non-accrual loans. (iii) The borrower must meet all its payment obligations for the next 120 days without interruption in order to be removed from non-accrual status. No interest income was recognized on non-accrual loans for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015. When a loan is declared in default according to the Company’s policy or deemed to be doubtful of collection, the loan committee of the Advisor to the Company will direct the staff to charge-off the uncollectable receivables. Loans totaling approximately $3,449,000 and $3,724,000 exceeded 90 days past due but continued to accrue interest as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The Company believes that continued interest accruals are appropriate because the loans are well secured, not deemed to be in technical default and the Company is actively pursuing collection of past due payments.
Real Estate Held for Sale	Real Estate Held for Sale As of December 31, 2016, the company has two properties acquired through foreclosure, and one via deed in lieu of foreclosure, with net carrying balances totaling approximately $341,000. We have listed the properties for sale through local realtors except for the property for which we received a deed in lieu of foreclosure. The Church is still occupying the property and paying rent while trying to either sell the building or obtain refinancing. Each property is valued based on its current listing price less any anticipated selling costs, including, for example, realtor commissions. The Company records real estate held for sale at the estimated fair value, which is net of the expected expenses related to the sale of the real estate. The fair value of our real estate held for sale, which represents the carrying value, is approximately $341,000 as of December 31, 2016 after total impairment of approximately $277,000. Foreclosure was completed in 2004 on a church located in Battle Creek, Michigan. The church congregation disbanded and the church property is currently unoccupied. The Company owns and took possession of the church and has listed the property for sale through a local realtor. A deed in lieu of foreclosure was received in 2008 from a church located in Pine Bluff, Arkansas. The Company owns and took possession of the church while the church attempts to obtain financing from another lender. If alternative financing cannot be obtained, the Company will list the church for sale with a local realtor. The church is paying monthly rent until the property is refinanced or sold. Foreclosure was completed in 2016 on a church located in Detroit, Michigan. The Company took possession of the property in March 2016 and listed it for sale through a local realtor.
Carrying Value of Long-Lived Assets	Carrying Value of Long-Lived Assets The Company tests long-lived assets or asset groups for recoverability when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Circumstances which could trigger a review include, but are not limited to: significant decreases in the market price of the asset; significant adverse changes in the business climate or legal factors; accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or construction of the asset; current period cash flow or operating losses combined with a history of losses or a forecast of continuing losses associated with the use of the asset; and current expectation that the asset will more likely than not be sold or disposed of significantly before the end of the estimated useful life. Recoverability is assessed based on the carrying amount of the asset compared to the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and the eventual disposal of the asset, as well as specific appraisal in certain instances. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount is deemed not recoverable and exceeds fair value as determined through various valuation techniques including, but not limited to, discounted cash flow models, quoted market values, and third party independent appraisals.
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition Interest income on mortgage loans receivable and the bond portfolio is recognized as earned per the terms of the specific asset. Other income included with interest represents cash received for loan origination fees, which are recognized over the life of the loan as an adjustment to the yield on the loan.
Deferred Financing Costs	Deferred Financing Costs The Company defers the costs related to obtaining financing. These costs are amortized over the life of the financing using the straight line method, which approximates the effective interest method.
Income (loss) Per Common Share	Income (loss) Per Common Share No adjustments were made to income (loss) for the purpose of calculating earnings (loss) per share, as there were no potential dilutive shares outstanding.
Income Taxes	Income Taxes The Company elected to be taxed as a Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT). Accordingly, the Company is not subject to Federal income tax to the extent of distributions to its shareholders if the Company meets all the requirements under the REIT provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. The Company evaluated its recognition of income tax benefits using a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring tax benefits when realization of the benefits is uncertain. The first step is to determine whether the benefit meets the more-likely-than-not condition for recognition and the second step is to determine the amount to be recognized based on the cumulative probability that exceeds 50%. Primarily due to the Company’s tax status as a REIT, the Company does not have any significant tax uncertainties that would require recognition or disclosure.
Subsequent Events	Subsequent Events The Company has evaluated events and transaction through the date the financial statements were available to be issued. No material events or transactions occurred in the time period referenced above requiring adjustment to or disclosure in the December 31, 2016 financial statements.
