Redesigned Benefits Plan by PC(USA) Board of Pensions

In April, the PC(USA) Board of Pensions released the new benefits plan for 2025. Details about the new plan and its financial implications can be found here.
The key change to the plan means that congregations and their pastors will need to have conversations regarding medical coverage for spouses and dependents.  While the new plan offers flexibility for congregations, it also has the potential to create confusion and anxiety in determining the best path forward as every situation will be different.

Our COM and Presbytery leadership are committed to walking along side you to find ways to care for all.  Below are some resources to start these conversations.  Please contact the Presbytery office if you have questions about the various options or need any assistance during this process.  We hope that by working together we can navigate this change with compassion, wisdom and generosity.
