Investments with LCEF meet your basic requirements: earn a competitive rate of return, help other ministries with loans and services and—most of all—support work being done to fulfill the Great Commission.

General Investments

In your designated plan for investments, you may have funds that you'd like to invest for a long period of time. In order to keep your plan flexible, you may need to access the funds or add to them as you wish with no penalties. LCEF's Dedicated Certificate investment has no maturity date.

Features:

  • Minimum $100 (custodial investments for minors: $25) investment.
  • Additional investments can be made at any time.
  • Full and partial redemptions allowed.
  • Tiered interest rates that rise as your balance grows.
  • Interest compounded and paid quarterly.

To start your kids on a good path to investing, sharing and spending, ask if your school or church participates in the K.I.D.S. Stamp Program.

For complete disclosure information about LCEF, see the Offering Circular or request a copy by calling 1-800-843-5233.

Fees may be charged for customer-initiated special service requests.

Celebrate Art & Architecture

Examples of remarkable structures that celebrate our faith will be honored through the Architectural Advisory Committee's Art and Architecture Award program. Find out how your church, school or ministry can participate. The deadline for entry is June 15, 2012. Awards will be presented during the LCEF Fall Leadership Conference in November.

Continue Tradition of LCMS Support

Educate those you love as to what is truly important about how you’ve invested. In your life’s journey, you may have invested to buy a house, send your children to college or for unexpected expenses. Maybe you’ve used it for retirement. Explain to your loved ones how your LCEF investment has helped create places for sharing the Gospel and supported ministries seeking to help their communities.

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.
