Lifelong learning through Board University

The Board of Pensions provides educational programs for active and retired members of the Benefits Plan, their spouses and partners, surviving spouses, employers, and seminarians.

Lifelong learning provides holistic programming to support you at specific stages of your life, career, or ministry.

When we are whole, we are able to bring our best gifts and energies to our work and our calls — and to everything we do. Wholeness allows us to live in harmony with God, our neighbors, and our families. It invites shalom.

That's why the Board of Pensions offers educational programs that foster your spiritual, health, financial, and vocational well-being.
