I love Texas Two-Step! Not only do I get an increased interest rate on my investment, but I also am able to partner with CEF in supporting my beloved Texas Partners in Mission!
My wife and I chose to invest in the Flex Savings for our two boys when they were young. Investing money from birthdays, Confirmation and Christmas, this helped our boys learn the benefits of saving for the future.
My wife and I chose to invest with Texas CEF because we like that they use the funds to help other established congregations as well as new mission start ups in Texas. The money that we invest helps ministries in Texas.
