A Closer Look at the STEWARD ACCOUNT from LCEF

For many, the start of a new year means resolving to make some positive changes. This can include a renewed focus on personal savings. If this describes you, consider looking into a StewardAccount from the Lutheran Church Extension Fund (LCEF).

Comparable to a money market account

LCEF StewardAccount is a convenient way to save money and earn interest, but with a significant added benefit: your savings support the growth of churches, schools, and other ministries of the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod. What bank can offer you that piece of mind?
