ANNOUNCEMENTS
- From the Committee on Ministry (COM): The 2025 Pastor Compensation Policy has been posted on the NCP website under Documents > Committee on Ministry (COM) Documents > Compensation. In response to the Board of Pensions approval of a new medical dues structure which will take effect in 2025, NCP updated their policy. Within the policy document, look for “Appendix 1: Medical Benefits.” This same appendix is also posted separately and titled, “Theological and Practical Guidance for Benefits Decision-Making.”
To help with this transition, NCP’s Committee on Ministry and NCP staff have scheduled two Q&A Zoom sessions on Tuesday, August 27, 2024, and Thursday, September 12. Both sessions begin at 5:00 p.m.
