Our strategy for the future will not change. We will continue to invest these assets for the long term, while we recognize and surmount the challenges in the marketplace. We will look for new opportunities and try to balance the hype of Wall Street with the values of Main Street. In this tried and true manner, we will continue to serve the church servants of today and those who will follow. The Board of Pensions serves its members across the country through Regional Service Teams based in Philadelphia and Regional Representatives who live in the areas they serve.
Members can easily reach their team or representative through a single toll-free number.
While service has been the cornerstone of the Board of Pensions and its predecessors for many years, personalizing the service by designating individuals to serve specific areas began about 40 years ago. In addition to serving members individually, Regional Representatives also conduct educational seminars in financial and retirement planning and work directly with middle governing body leadership. Brought together from functional areas, the members of the Regional Service Teams answer Plan members questions and resolve issues about dues, pensions, healthcare benefits, and many other matters. The teams include specialists from service and benefits areas, such as processing healthcare claims or retirement and death benefits. The Regional Service Teams and the Regional Representatives work in active partnership with Plan members and their families so the members can take full advantage of the benefits provided by the church.
