3 "L" Academy
In the past, the Mississippi Conference Board of Pension sponsored a two-day educational session where we assisted clergy in modeling and teaching the United Methodist commitment to fully utilizing their time, talents, gifts, service, and witness. We hope to be able to do this again in the spring of 2021.
Coming soon to these resources will be information in the form of videos explaining your clergy pension and health benefits.
