Welcome!
Welcome to the Pension website. This site has been created for women and men who participate under the Covenant Pension Plan of the Evangelical Covenant Church.
The Pension Plan was established many years ago by the Covenant Annual Meeting by vote of the delegates from churches. It provides participating ministers and missionaries with future retirement benefits paid for by member Covenant churches, regional conferences of the Covenant, and any institution, school or other entity approved by the Board of Pensions and Benefits.
In This Site you will find information about
- The Pension Departments: An overview of the roles of the Department of Administration, the Department of Finance, and the Department of the Ordered Ministry.
- Covenant Pension Plan: Links to the Summary Plan Description and the Covenant Pension Plan. (PDF)
- Pension Resources: A listing of resources and downloadable forms.
- The Staff: Information on the Pension Departments’ staff.
