    PILP Elects James G. Rissler 
    as Vice President and Chief Operating Officer 
 
by Jerry L. Van Marter 
 
LOUISVILLE, Ky.-The Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) Investment and Loan 
Program has named James G. Rissler as its vice president and chief 
operating officer.  He succeeds Joey B. Bailey, who recently resigned from 
the position to serve as the Deputy Director for Mission Support Services 
with the denomination's General Assembly Council. 
 
    A graduate of Vanderbilt University, Rissler has worked in the banking 
industry for 17 years, most recently as vice-president of PNC Bank. 
 
    "Jim Rissler brings the right combination of skills and experience to 
the Investment & Loan Program and the General Assembly mission of church 
growth," said Ken Grant, president and Chief Executive Officer of the 
Investment & Loan Program.  At PNC he consistently strengthened customer 
service and generated growing revenues and profits." 
 
    Rissler arrives at a time when PILP is growing rapidly.  "In the last 
26 weeks, the loan portfolio has doubled in size. The needs of both large 
and small borrowers are being met. New congregations and established 
congregations are using our services.  In today's market, churches are 
refinancing and doing new construction.  This has caught the attention of 
investors," explained Grant. 
 
Rissler is an elder at Harvey Browne Memorial Presbyterian Church in 
Louisville.
