Bringing you investment options that best suit you and your families' needs is important. The choices LCEF offers are meant to be just a part of your overall financial plan, filling critical pieces of the "pie."

Investments for LCMS Members and Businesses

As an LCEF investor, you earn competitive rates of interest, retain ownership of investment balances and maintain accessibility of funds. While you work to meet your investment goals, you are sharing the use of your invested resources with fellow Lutherans, making LCEF loans and related services possible.

Are you investing for:

LCEF also offers:

Online access through MyAccount promotes the good stewardship of resources. By using these financial services, you help us reduce administrative costs. That in turn allows us to keep loan and service rates to churches, schools, and church workers as low as possible.

MyAccount access is granted through an application process to investors and loan customers. Fill out an application to receive your user name and password.

Note: Some LCEF investments are not available to investors living in South Carolina, per state regulations. Review your state's Offering Circular for details.

The True Value of Your Investment

Your LCEF investment represents more than a monetary "net worth": it represents a desire to reach more people with the Gospel. The value to your heirs will not come in the balance, but in the fact that you want your funds to help expand or renovate churches, and support Lutheran schools and church workers. As you periodically review your beneficiary designations, tell them why LCEF is special to you.

Be Prepared for the Unexpected

Don't let financial emergencies sabotage your monthly budget. Start a Family Emergency StewardAccount® to help you cover unexpected expenses, while also providing funds LCMS organizations need for their ministry needs.

LCEF is a nonprofit religious organization; therefore, LCEF investments are not FDIC-insured bank deposit accounts. This is not an offer to sell investments, nor a solicitation to buy. LCEF will offer and sell its securities only in states where authorized. The offer is made solely by LCEF's Offering Circular. Investors should carefully read the Offering Circular, which more fully describes associated risks.
