                            Church Extension Fund

At the dawn of the 20th century, June 18, 1901, our Lutheran forefathers, both clergy and laymen, came together and conceived an innovative notion – a shared financial institution that would be available to assist new mission congregations throughout Michigan in building their first worship facilities through affordable loans.
                       This was the humble beginning of 
             Church Extension Fund in Michigan.
