Who Will

Pay For
Retirement?

Money is the number one distraction facing pastors. But we can help you fix the finances, save for the future, and be able to retire when you’re ready.

Make Retirement a Reality

Thanks to a generous grant from the Lilly Endowment, Converge North Central is rolling out a program to educate pastors about finances and accelerate retirement savings.

We can help you:

  • Prepare a free, personalized financial plan (a $1,000 value).
  • Uncover tax savings you might have missed. It’s literally thousands of dollars per year that can go toward your retirement savings.
  • Jumpstart your retirement with an infusion of up to $30,000 for those who need extra help.
 

Ready to Start Saving?

It starts by attending our annual Fix the Finances event. Bonus: It’s on us. We’ll pay the expenses for you and your board chair—and bring your spouses for a night away.

At Converge North Central, we believe we can go farther together. That means carrying one another’s burdens. Financial worry is a big one, so let’s address it together and refocus on the ministry God has called us to.
