Introduction
to The Church's Plan
|
This
year, The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod celebrates
40 years of providing benefits and services to Church workers
and their families through the Concordia Plans. |
|
| Anniversaries
provide an opportunity to celebrate past joys and blessings,
and a time to look forward to see what work still needs to be
done for His kingdom. |
| |
Looking
back, The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod (LCMS) can
celebrate and rejoice in 40 years of providing health, retirement,
survivor, and disability benefits for Church workers and their
families. Looking ahead, the LCMS is finding ways to best
provide for those in His service for the next 40 years and
counting by introducing a new packaged benefits offering.
|
|
| Called
simply The Church’s Plan, this package of benefits is
designed with the specific needs of LCMS workers in mind. While
The Church’s Plan offers employers a comprehensive, cost-effective
benefits package they can trust to provide for their workers,
there will be other options available to provide flexibility. |

This
special insert of the Reporter provides a brief overview of
The Church’s Plan and other benefit changes in 2006.
It also reviews why we’re making changes now and what
the changes will mean for employers, workers, and retirees.
This publication is just an announcement—employers,
workers, and retirees will get more information in the coming
weeks and months.
