Giving Thanks to Him for You
Volunteers make many Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod (LCMS) organizations and ministries run more smoothly and with greater vibrancy. Lutheran Church Extension Fund (LCEF) is no different. Our volunteers are critical to sharing the story of LCEF and how LCMS members, congregations, schools, service organizations and rostered church workers can share in the partnership.

Please accept our thanks and praise for all you do in His name and to empower ministries in the sharing of the Gospel!

I also noticed that there were was no mechanism or process for them to be trained as leaders. Far too often we complain that our congregations or organizations don't have any new leaders, while at the same time we fail to do anything intentional to see to it that the next generation of leaders is ready to take the reins when the time comes.  Read more...
