How We Help LCMS Ministries
The Real Estate Solutions (RES) team helps ministries like yours ensure sustainable growth and a thriving future by maximizing the potential of your real estate investments.
With over 75 years of combined experience serving churches, schools and not-for-profit organizations, RES delivers expert guidance and data-driven strategies — helping ministries steward their real estate resources for scenarios like school expansion, surplus property, feasibility studies and owner’s representative services.
RES Foundational Pillars
Meeting Human Needs
Hebrews 6:10 tells us that God will remember how we have helped people; therefore, how can we be good stewards and use real estate to help people
Pouring Ministry Behind Our Work
Imagine what ministry could be done through surplus real estate. As James 2:26 says, faith apart from works is dead; we understand LCMS ministries and work daily to help the church thrive.
Enhancing Communities
We use real estate to positively impact the surrounding community by engaging people outside the property boundaries.
Developing Alternative Sources of Income
To ensure ministry sustainability, it is important to use your surplus real estate assets to have an ongoing, reliable source of revenue.

How Can Your Real Estate Serve Your Mission?
Here are a few questions you might consider when it comes to assessing the current real estate needs of your church, school or organization.
Would you like to expand your ministry through your real estate assets?
Do you need a professional to help you navigate the complexities of a building expansion?
Do you need a plan for maintaining, managing and understanding your existing property and assets?
Do you have excess real estate and wonder about its best use to expand your ministry?
If you answered yes to any of the questions above, it’s time to connect with your LCEF District Vice President (DVP) to discuss how we can help your ministry realize its fullest real estate potential.
