Texas District Church Extension Fund (Texas CEF) had the joy of returning more than $550,000 to Texas LCMS congregations through our Incentive Rebate Program.
86 congregations have received a loan rebate check — tangible evidence of partnership in ministry and God’s continued provision.
What a blessing to see investments multiplied into Kingdom impact across our state!
As congregations receive these funds, we give thanks to God for this incredible opportunity to reinvest in the work of multiplying followers across Texas.
How Supporting Funds Make This Possible
Supporting investments from individuals, congregations and other entities provide the funds for Texas CEF to make loans to LCMS ministries here in Texas.
Every investor can designate a congregation to receive supporting credit for their investment dollars.
Each month, the balances of all designated supporting investments for a congregation are combined. Based on those totals, a monthly rebate amount is calculated according to the Incentive Rebate Program tiers.
At the close of Texas CEF’s fiscal year (January 31), the total earned over the previous 12 months is calculated — and a check is sent to the congregation. Most rebate checks arrive in the second half of February.
Why This Matters
Supporting funds allow you to:
✔ Strengthen churches across Texas
✔ Encourage your home congregation
✔ Multiply ministry impact
✔ Participate in a program that returns dollars to ministry
It’s more than an investment. It’s a way to help fuel Gospel work — and then watch borrowing congregations receive a tangible blessing back.
If you’d like to designate or update your supporting congregation, we’d be honored to help. Please reach out to us at invest@texascef.org or call 888-951-1233.
