Pension Program

The Be In Christ Registered Pension Plan (RPP) is in place to help you plan for your financial future and care for your family into your retirement years. Both you as the employee and the church you work for contribute to your RPP account. We recognize that the calling you have followed is not lucrative but we hope that our RPP program through our partnership with The Centre for Christian Charities will provide you additional certainty about your retirement planning. The Be In Christ Church is part of the pension program provided by The Centre for Christian Charities and administered through Canada Life.

Note that to be eligible for our Pension Plan you must be a credentialed pastor working at least 20 hours per week.

A RPP is just one part of an investment portfolio so it is important to consult with a professional financial planner to be well prepared for retirement living. We strongly encourage you to find a financial advisor who can guide you in creating your own balanced portfolio.

The Pension booklet that is provided to you as a plan member based on the province where you live is linked below along with an excellent FAQ created by the plan administrators, the Canadian Centre for Christian Charities.
