New Services Support Church Functionality, Vitality
LCEF is committed to the ministry of building strong churches—and not just in a physical sense. We’re here to help church membership grow in spirit, mission, and membership.
There are two new workshops your congregation may wish to use: Building and Believing Workshop, a weekend of renewal in which congregations select a noted LCMS clergy to lead the discussions; and MissionFlex, a one-day workshop for creating a flexible constitution. |

SMP Working With Redeemer Lutheran Church, Las Vegas, Nevada
The pastor at Redeemer said the great thing about SMP is that the lay people continually focus on their "best understanding of God's calling and plan" for them. If they are having a meeting and decisions are being made, someone in the group will usually call attention to their SMP and say, "Remember our plan. Is this decision a part of our plan? Is this the direction that God's calling and plan for us is pointing?" |

Approaching 150th Anniversary with New Vision
As the congregation at St. John Lutheran Church and School, Darien, Ill., decided to remodel and update the church, it decided to really analyze its needs for the facility. To do that, it used Lutheran Church Extension Fund’s (LCEF) Strategic Ministry Planning. “It was a matter of saying, ‘Let’s start at the beginning and make sure we have our house in order, lay the foundation first.’” said Kathy McClain, St. John’s business manager.
St. John’s leadership approached the design team with a purpose and vision. Now that the plan is in place and renovations are complete, they have shifted their focus to an important milestone: the church’s 150th anniversary later this year. |

See your leaders work more efficiently without stress or burnout and your boards and committees become more focused-with shorter, more productive meetings.
