MIF provides consulting services to congregations, synods, individuals and ELCA-related ministries. MIF's building consultants specialize in church planning and construction. They can guide your ministry through the building process, help you maximize resources, provide information about MIF loan options, and advise on how facilities can more effectively support your mission and ministry goals. Our staff architects assist congregations that are considering building or renovation programs with site planning, cost estimating and initial schematic designs. MIF's area representatives can help you learn more about MIF loans and investments. Services are provided free of charge.
