A new Benefits Plan for the changing Church
The Reverend Dr. Frank Clark Spencer, President of The Board of Pensions of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), explains the need for a new Benefits Plan and outlines the new dues packages that take effect Jan. 1, 2025.
Benefits that serve more
The redesigned Benefits Plan gives congregations the flexibility to structure a benefits package that meets their unique needs and the needs of their pastor.
Why a new Benefits Plan
The Church has changed, but the Benefits Plan has not changed with it. Designed 40 years ago for a different type of pastoral leadership and a different family structure, the current plan and its dues structure are outdated and do not support today’s congregations.
