We care for church staff and want them to have peace of mind and financial security in retirement. Since 1967, the Converge Retirement Plan has helped Converge pastors, church staff and commissioned missionaries plan for their future and build added financial security for retirement. Unlike other plans, participants enjoy the benefit of lifetime income through a pension, continued housing allowance (even in retirement) and a defined contribution (similar to a 401(k) plan) to build additional savings.
