Stewardship Resources from Lutheran Church Extension Fund
LCEF’s Consecrated Stewards program offers a full-congregation approach tostewardship education. Designed to energize your members in their ongoing giving, the program is not tied to the church budget but rather to your members’ desire to give. LCEF also offers a program called StewardPath, intended to reconnect your members to your congregation’s ministries while encouraging them to live as faithful stewards of the Lord’s gifts every day. They also help congregations access various steward-focused Bible studies from around the Synod. These vary in focus, length and accessibility.
