LCEF, incorporated in 1978, is a continuation of the Synod's service to the entire LCMS. Congregations, ministries and schools gain funds for building, upgrading or remodeling facilities, and rostered church workers secured reasonable housing and consolidation loans. LCEF partners with more than 50,000 investors to make the funds available for these loans. Together, these partnerships have resulted in a total asset portfolio of $1.8 billion. God has truly blessed the ministry of Church Extension and its supporters!

The mission of Northwestern Publishing House is to deliver biblically sound, Christ-centered resources within the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod and beyond. We have fulfilled this mission for nearly 125 years. While publishing is much different today than when we first began, our ministry of serving others with the good news of salvation remains. God has blessed NPH with dedicated and gifted servants who daily carry out his work. We are deeply thankful for the people who have been instrumental in our ministry in years past and who play a role today. To God be the glory!
