Organization Education Loans
Rising higher education costs and student loan debt are some of the most troublesome obligations faced by many LCMS ministers. Minimizing debt may cause ministers to concentrate more on their financial needs and less on their call to serve their ministry.
Organization Education Loans are provided to sponsoring LCMS organizations who act as eligible borrowers to support active ordained or commissioned LCMS ministers, typically in the first 10 years after graduation.
