May 2010 Rates

More Than Interest Rates

There are a lot of factors to consider when investing. While interest rates and account features are important, they may not be the sole reason to invest with Texas CEF. Most investors see their accounts as both a ministry and a relationship. Not only are your funds gaining eternal significance when Texas CEF invests in other ministries, but also, you know you are dealing with a staff that shares the same values as you.

If you are interested in opening a new investment, or adding funds to an existing account, contact Sarah Rude at 888-951-1233 ext 242. Or, visit our website to find account information and forms to get started.

Scripture

"But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy."
1 Peter 2:9-10

Quote

"If we ever forget that we are One Nation Under God, then we will be a nation gone under."
Ronald Reagan
