"Journey of Discovery" is a Bible study resource designed to help congregations explore their stewardship practices during financial stewardship programs that occur any time throughout the year.

Journey of Discovery

"Journey of Discovery" is based on a travel theme, with the ultimate destination of a deeper spiritual understanding of God's intentions. Participants are encouraged as they make their prayerful decisions about the financial offerings given to the Lord through their church.

By taking this stewardship journey of Bible study, discussion and prayerful consideration, your congregation members will grow closer to each other and Jesus.

The five-session study takes participants through different "gates" of giving and sharing as they seek to answer the question, "What shall I render to the Lord for all His benefits to me?"

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.

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.

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.
