Pews To Palm Trees
Retirement is possible, but it takes planning to go from pews to palm trees. Will you be able to retire when ready? Financial worry is common for pastors, but we can help.
Make Retirement a Reality
Thanks to a generous grant from the Lilly Endowment, we’re rolling out a program to educate pastors about financial matters and accelerate retirement savings.
We can help you:
- Prepare a personalized, individual financial plan.
- Uncover tax savings you might have missed. It’s literally thousands of dollars per year that can jumpstart your retirement savings.
- For those who need extra help, infuse thousands of dollars into your retirement.
