More Than a Lender: How LCEF Protected “Kingdom Land” for a Local Church

Late on the Friday before Memorial Day weekend, Victory Lutheran Church in Minnesota was stunned with lawsuit papers: a neighbor was trying to claim part of the church’s land through adverse possession. In Minnesota, if someone openly uses another’s land for more than 15 years, they can attempt to claim legal ownership. That is exactly what happened when a neighboring family built a basketball court, fire pit and retaining wall on land that belongs to the church. With only 21 days to respond and a quarter acre at stake, the congregation needed help fast. This video tells how Lutheran Church Extension Fund (LCEF) and its Real Estate Solutions team stepped in, connecting the church with attorneys, offering consulting support and even helping with legal fees. More than a lender, LCEF walks alongside ministries with real estate guidance, facilities expertise and resources made possible by believers who invest so “Kingdom land” can stay in Kingdom use. Watch the full story to see how God provided support in a stressful legal battle and how church property can be protected for Gospel-centered ministry.
