Congregation/Business Investments
You have a unique opportunity as a business connected to the LCMS. Your Lutheran ties enable you to invest your firm’s funds in order to empower ministries in all they do to expand God’s kingdom. Their outreach will be enriched by having the funds your organization invests available to them to use for low-cost loans and ministry support resources.
​
Investing with LCEF connects you to ministries across the world while you earn competitive rates and retain ownership of investment balances.
Online access through MyAccount promotes the good stewardship of resources. By using these financial services, you help us reduce administrative costs. That in turn allows us to keep loan and service rates to churches, schools, and church workers as low as possible.
MyAccount access is granted through an application process to investors and loan customers. Click here to get started

Young Investors (Y.I.) Club
You know it’s important to teach children to give thanks for God’s many blessings and use those blessings wisely to serve Him. Learning to understand the value of sharing, saving and spending money is a good place to start.
​
When you help your child save for the future through the LCEF Young Investors (Y.I.) Club, those dollars can also help someone else learn about Jesus. Through the Y.I. Club activities, newsletters and web pages, your child can learn valuable stewardship concepts while empowering ministry through LCEF.
​

With an investment of just $25 to open the Y.I. StewardAccount, your young investor becomes a Y.I. Club member with special fun activities that grow with three different age levels.
