“We started investing in IRAs and Notes with Disciples Church Extension Fund because of the rates and it was a good fit for us with the connection to our denomination. Then, we decided to invest in Notes for our grandchildren’s educations. It’s convenient because it comes out of our checking account automatically each month. Our oldest grandchild has already used hers to study art in Italy, which was pretty special for her. We like investing with DCEF because when we call, we feel like there’s always a real connection there.”
