LCEF developed Kids Into Discipleship and Stewardship (K.I.D.S.) programs to help teach young people at an early age the importance of giving back what God has shared with us.
K.I.D.S. Programs
The Kids Into Discipleship and Stewardship (K.I.D.S.) Stamp Program provides a fun and exciting way to build God's kingdom through lessons in sharing, saving and spending.
Features:
- Young people receive their own K.I.D.S. stamp book to start their LCEF investment.
- Activity books are available to teach lessons about discipleship and stewardship.
- Program provides base for mission education as children learn about the ministry opportunities for which they are investing.
- Teaches the basics of managing money and earning interest within a Biblical context.
- NEW K.I.D.S. participants receive their first order of stamps FREE (up to a $100 value.) (Subsequent orders will be charged.)
- All supporting program materials (excluding stamps) are FREE.
School Stewardship Lessons
Complement your Stamp program with the K.I.D.S. Count curriculum resource. Stewardship-focused lessons for students kindergarten through eighth grade teach children God-pleasing choices and how to manage His gifts.
K.I.D.S. Count lessons can be taught in less than an hour, are flexible and include hands-on activities to keep kids learning. Skits, puppets, activity sheets, posters, crafts, indoor and outdoor games, cooking, field trips, and service projects are just some of the fun ways K.I.D.S. Count makes each lesson come alive.
Visit our Multimedia Center to learn more about K.I.D.S. by viewing a short video with details about this unique, fun and ministry-filled investment program and the ease of participation.

The True Value of Your Investment
Your LCEF investment represents more than a monetary "net worth": it represents a desire to reach more people with the Gospel. The value to your heirs will not come in the balance, but in the fact that you want your funds to help expand or renovate churches, and support Lutheran schools and church workers. As you periodically review your beneficiary designations, tell them why LCEF is special to you.
Christian Partner for Funding
If your congregation is remodeling, building a sanctuary, upgrading systems for efficiency or expanding its daycare center, we have loan funds available to assist you. We offer personal, caring, Christian services that help you bear witness to Jesus Christ and to those that do not know Him.
