2023 PSWR Regional Gathering Offering: Ministerial Relief and Assistance Fund
Every year we honor different ministries on each day of our Regional Assemblies and Gatherings by collecting an offering for their benefit. This year we will be honoring the Ministerial Relief and Assistance Fund.
For over 125 years, Ministerial Relief & Assistance the Church’s way of giving back to ministers, their spouses and lay employees. This fund was established by Pension Fund of the Christian Church to care for those who have fallen into troubled times and need a helping hand from their church community. Today, Pension Fund offers over a dozen programs to support our colleagues throughout their ministerial career (and beyond). They include: Parental Leave Assistance, Low-Interest Loans, Reserve Chaplain Dues, Gift Pensions for New Church Planters, Ministerial Relief Pensions, Vocational Counseling, Emergency Aid, Disaster Relief and Funeral Support.
