Benefits Lunch and Learn

Location: Online via zoom

Lunch And Learn

Ever wish you knew more about clergy taxes, or housing allowances, or why gravity is so unforgiving? Well, we may not be able to help with the last one, but if you want to know about BENEFITS, keep reading!

Our Conference Benefits officer, Cheryl Weaver, will be hosting a monthly “Lunch and Learn”.  Each month we will spend some time learning about the different benefits that are available to clergy and lay employees of the Conference. There will be time for questions as well.

Questions? Contact NIC CBO, Rev. Cheryl Weaver.
