Targeting a specific date for some of your investments can help you better plan for your first house, or big events such as having a baby, celebrating a wedding or even retiring.

Short- and Long-Term Investment Options

Your goals vary, just as the ways we can share our faith vary. For some of your investment portfolio, you may have specific goals that need to be achieved by a certain date. That's why an LCEF Term Note might be the right choice: the funds are invested for a specific period of time and remain yours to redeem at the end of the term or re-invest.

You may select:

  • Fixed-Rate Term Note—this note carries a constant interest rate, and requires a $500 minimum investment. Variety of terms available from 6 months to 20 years.
  • Floating-Rate Term Note—rate is adjusted monthly based on prevailing market rates, and requires a $100 minimum investment. 30-month and 60-month terms available. Investments of $25 or more accepted throughout the term.

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

Coaching for Today's Ministry

Pastor Coaching Ministry is a process of personal renewal through one-on-one sessions with highly respected, ministry-tested pastors. This service is a great investment for congregations and pastors who desire to minister in today's rapidly changing culture. Participating pastors often strengthen leadership skills and gain clarity in God’s purpose for them.

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.

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.
