Mission Fulfillment Now and for Future
Funding a ministry through a loan often involves the inevitable: paying interest. With an LCEF loan, you become a partner with other LCMS borrowers and investors in building the church. As a loan is repaid, those dollars become available to other congregations to build or update their facilities to serve this and future generations.
Paying for Health Expenses
If you have a high-deductible healthcare plan, invest to cover the costs of qualified expenses. A health savings account (HSA) can roll over each year.
