Even better, ELCA members can schedule time with a credentialed Portico Financial Planner at no out-of-pocket cost. These planners understand the unique structure of church benefit plans and have deep knowledge of ELCA-specific benefits, helping you align your financial decisions with your vocational and personal goals.

Faithful stewardship includes caring for our financial well-being—not as an end in itself, but as a way to support sustainable ministry, personal stability, and generous living. January is a perfect time to begin—or renew—that work.
