Healthcare affordability is more than a benefits issue. It can affect congregational budgets, staffing decisions, ability to call or retain clergy, financial wellbeing of church workers, retirement readiness, and overall sustainability of ministry. The Pension Boards views health affordability as part of a broader commitment to supporting ministry and lifelong wellbeing that will strengthen your foundation in service to others.
The Pension Boards along with several Chief Executive Officers of Church Benefit Association (CBA) member organizations, which collaborate on shared benefits issues, share a statement on its commitment to sustainable health benefits.
At the heart of the Pension Boards’ mission is a simple but profound belief: a just and thriving ministry is essential to creating a just world for all.
As ministry professionals—whether clergy, lay workers, or caregivers—you live out this vision through your dedication, compassion, and commitment to God and service. Our role is to ensure you can focus on your call without carrying the weight of unnecessary burdens. By establishing a strong foundation—financially, physically, emotionally, and spiritually—you can serve our UCC communities and devote more of your energy to the mission of the church more confidently and with knowing that you are supported and secure.
The Pension Boards will be providing Forms 1095-B only to those eligible members who request to receive a Form 1095-B. You may request a Form 1095 from the Pension Boards through any of the below methods. Forms will be available starting on January 31, 2026.
Welcome to everyone visiting with us in our offices here in New York City—members of our PB staff, our Board of Trustees, the Rev. Dr. Karen Georgia Thompson—and to those of you online.
First, in my new role at the Pension Boards as President and CEO, I want to give special mention to my predecessor, Brian Bodager, who passed away earlier this year, and whose deep thinking and commitment will continue to shape the foundation upon which we build and serve your needs. I hope you will have the opportunity to review our online 2024 annual report which has been dedicated to Brian’s service.
