Baptist General Convention of Missouri

Annuity & Retirement Programs

 

Preparing for retirement is an example of good stewardship and the responsibility of every Christian.  Churches are also responsible for assisting their pastors and other church staff members as they prepare for retirement.  Some churches have expressed concern that their church may not have access to traditional convention programs due to denominational conflict and policy changes.

The Board of Directors recently approved a recommendation to become an Affiliate Partner with the Ministers and Missionaries Benefit Board.  The Ministers and Missionaries Benefit Board (MMBB) serves those who work for Baptist churches and affiliated organizations—and has since 1911.  MMBB understands the unique blessings and challenges of the ministry, and supports plan members throughout their lives.

The employer-funded Benefits for Life program provides:

  • Protection against the financial peril of disability before retirement;

  • The security of knowing that loved ones would receive substantial death benefits if the member were to die before retirement; and

  • Confidence from knowing that the member is building valuable assets for the future.

Other important components of a comprehensive benefit program include:

Enrollment will begin at our 2006 Annual Meeting, and the programs will become active within a few weeks.  Please contact Jim Cook, our MMBB Regional Representative, or www.mmbb.org for more information about our retirement or health care programs.
