MISSION STATEMENT

The mission of the Texas District Church Extension Fund is to extend God's Kingdom by boldly and responsibly assisting congregation to acquire land and buildings and by linking investors with congregations.

A Unique Ministry

The church extension ministry provides Texas District Lutherans a unique opportunity to make funds available in support of the Great Commission:  "Go ye, therefore, and make disciples of all nations."

Yesterday

The Texas District Church Extension Fund was established in 1906 as a separate treasury of the Texas District, to provide loans and funds to member congregations, the District itself, and associations qualifying as Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod recognized service organizations in Texas.  The Church Extension Fund is a ministry of the Texas District.  For more than 100 years CEF has provided consultation and low cost funding for Texas congregations to build and expand.

Today

More than 13,000 investors make the Texas District Church Extension Fund possible.  With more than $130 million in assets today, CEF is presently assisting more than 130 congregations throughout Texas with loans to help expand the Kingdom. 

Tomorrow

Our goal is to anticipate and be responsive to the ministry needs of the future; to continue to provide quality services, resources, training and leadership, and vision to meet those needs.  We will continue to assist congregations to reach the lost, disciple the saved and care for people-locally and globally as we identify new and creative ministry opportunities throughout Texas.
