Benefits Road Show Dates in Northern Districts

There’s still time to catch the Benefits Road Show, especially if you’re in the Northeast, North Central or Northwest district. Join Conference Finance and Administrative Ministries staff as they share information about the new Compass Retirement Plan and updates to clergy health benefits. We highly recommend that all clergy serving half-time or more and a lay representative from every church attend.

MUMF Retired Clergy Well-being Grant Program

Thanks to a collaboration between the Methodist Benevolent Association and the Missouri United Methodist Foundation’s C2FM program, financial assistance is available to retired United Methodist pastors in good standing who have served in the Missouri Annual Conference (and its predecessors, MO East or MO West). The spouse or surviving spouse of a retired clergyperson is also eligible to apply for assistance. The grant process begins with completing a Retired Clergy Well-being Grant Application, which is available on the MUMF website.
