Because Ministry Is the Reason We Exist
Why We Serve: Church Together
Portico was created as a nonprofit ministry of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) and established to serve ELCA-affiliated ministries and organizations like yours.

Who We Serve
We believe ministries and faith-based organizations are stronger when God’s people are good stewards of the gifts God has given. When we care for our own well-being, we can show up with strength, courage, vulnerability, compassion, and grace.
As a ministry of the ELCA, Portico provides retirement, health, and other related benefits and consultative services to enhance the total well-being of those who serve in faith-based organizations — throughout their working years and in retirement. We serve the following types of organizations within the ELCA and its full-communion partners:
- Congregations, ELCA synods, and the ELCA churchwide organization
- Social ministry organizations and other ELCA-affiliated institutions
- Colleges, universities, seminaries and other ELCA-affiliated organizations
