Financial Stewardship Services

Today's ministries are conducted in a fast-paced environment. LCEF is a resource for implementing appropriate programs to share and celebrate God's gifts, stay in touch with members, and develop a community of supporters to keep your ministry vital and responsive.

Financial Stewardship Services

LCEF is a partner to LCMS ministries, understanding that there are many financial needs that must be met and accommodated, but must be rooted in our Lutheran faith. We never forget that your mission is to serve, not be an expert at raising funds or cash management. We want you and your members to thrive in giving, not be stifled by the effort.

In general terms, we offer services and tools that can help your organization:

Big Events Support Churches, Schools

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.

Build Connections Through Childcare

"We feel very blessed to have been able to work with LCEF to fund this project," said Rev. Lawrence Mitchell of Faith Lutheran Church in Bloomington, Ind. An LCEF loan allowed the congregation to build an addition that supports its growing child-care ministry. Mitchell says "many families have become involved or re-involved with the church" through the center. Let LCEF help fund your childcare outreach.

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.
