What is retirement? That depends on your perspective. Retirement years are also ministry years. At Envoy, we see retirement as not only a reward for past service, but a stepping-stone to future ministry Future-Funded Ministry: Managing Gods resources Gods way so His purposes can be carried out in and through our lives, to the very end.

A plan for those with ministerial status and named executives is required: 10% minimum contribution Additional options such as an additional matching component are possible Staff may participate on a voluntary basis immediately beginning with employment A plan for staff composed of a basic contribution, matching contribution, or both is available and up to each church to decide

Housing Allowance: Distributions taken by those with ministerial status can be tax- protected A Roth Provision: After-tax contribution and tax-free growth Loan Provision Default Investment: Where the money goes if the participant does not select one Automatic Enrollment: Starts the contribution even if the eligible participant has not enrolled
