Personal statement

I am thankful that God has given me the opportunity to serve on the Lutheran Church Extension Fund Board of Directors and the LCEF audit committee over the past seven years. I would welcome the chance to continue to use my financial background in this way. LCEF has an important role to play in supporting the LCMS in its mission and ministry. It is vital for LCEF to remain financially sound so that it can continue to be a benefit to districts, local congregations, schools, universities, rostered church workers, RSOs, and the other organizations of the LCMS while providing a benefht to its investors. LCEF works at developirng partnerships with other LCMS organizations, and it is important that these endeavors continue.
