LCEF's Home Equity Loan Program is designed to lend personal financial assistance to LCMS rostered church workers use the equity in their homes as collateral for a loan.
Homeowners often use the money from these types of loans to pay off higher-interest debt, purchase an automobile, make large-scale home improvements, pay tuition or for other major purchases. Our home equity loans offer competitive and fixed interest rates that allow borrowers to consolidate bills into one monthly payment.
LCEF home equity loans are available to qualified applicants in approved states who have an existing first mortgage. Before submitting your application, please view the approved states in which LCEF is able to provide RCW housing loans.
*Consult your tax advisor.
Program participants receive and give the "ministry dividend." We ask that you also invest with LCEF (in which you earn a competitive interest rate), and these invested dollars further help us help other church workers in the future. Your true investment is in helping others—just as others have helped you.
If you have questions, you may contact us or see the frequently asked questions.
Have a "wish" list? Need funds to replace equipment, renovate space, add child-care services or make efficiency upgrades? LCEF is a trusted partner for architectural advice, a stewardship campaign, expert building assistance and a loan. Whatever the "wishes," LCEF can help make realities.
Planning a wedding, buying a new house or retiring in the near future? Targeting a specific date for some of your investments can help fund those plans. Term notes are invested for a specific period of time and remain yours to redeem at the end of the term or to re-invest. While invested, they are not only building your dreams, but helping fund a loan for a school or church.
