Church Worker StewardAccount

You are a church worker. You have a mission—a call. God steered you toward a lifetime of service and sharing the message of living hope in Christ.

Of course, that doesn’t mean you are immune from the stresses of this world. For many church workers, money challenges can distract—and even derail—you from that service.

LCEF wants to help you focus on your mission by making it easy and worthwhile to put a little money away each month. Believe it or not, this simple act can provide a certain amount of relief, so you can continue faithfully serving our Lord.

If that sounds like you, LCEF’s Church Worker StewardAccount is for you. It’s an investment exclusively for LCMS rostered and lay church workers.

Anna VanVleet Investor

“The interest rates are competitive, and we like being able to support an organization that we know is supporting other church workers. We also know we’re not going to get scammed into something which can be the fear in other places.”
