Answering a call to ministry comes with a lot of preparation: education, credentialing, learning to lead, and navigating the practical realities of ministry life. Financial preparation deserves a place on that list, too.
Retirement may feel far away, but questions about budgeting, housing allowance, saving, student loans, and family expenses often begin right away. The Servant Solutions Newly Credentialed Program helps ministers begin building healthy financial habits from the start.
Eligible participants receive a $500 gift deposited directly into their new retirement account, with no matching contribution required. After one year of regular contributions and completing a Financial Roadmap meeting, you’ll receive an additional $1,000 gift toward your retirement.
Do You Qualify?
The Newly Credentialed Program may be available to you if you meet all three requirements:
- You have been fully credentialed by an approved church body within the last five years.
- You work at least 20 hours per week for a church or nonprofit organization that participates in the Servant Solutions Retirement Plan.
- You receive compensation from that participating organization.
Not sure whether your organization participates? Contact Servant Solutions. We can verify whether it already participates or explore whether it qualifies to join the Retirement Plan.
