Member Benefits

OVERVIEW

Most providers will tell you that when you purchase life insurance you're buying peace of mind: the certainty that if you die unexpectedly and your income goes away, the people who depend on you won't be left without financial resources. That's true and wonderful. It's also the primary benefit LCBA offers.

But wouldn't it be nice to get something you can use TODAY in exchange for the premiums you pay? When you purchase an LCBA insurance certificate or annuity, you do! You become a member of a fraternal benefit society: a not-for-profit organization that operates under the "common bond" of Christianity and returns earnings from the sale of financial service products to our members in the form of discount/value added benefits and support service projects through our member branches in their communities.

Not sure what member classification you are?

Benefit Members

2. Juvenile Benefit Members - All individuals who have not yet attained age sixteen who are eligible for membership in the association and who are covered under a benefit certificate of the association are juvenile benefit members of the association.

Your member benefits include things like scholarships and discounts. Does this add to the cost of your life insurance or annuity? NOT ONE PENNY! It's just what we do with our net proceeds instead of paying shareholders like our for-profit competitors.
