The Convention provides a group benefit plan and a defined contribution pension plan in our partnership with Canadian Baptist Ministries, Canadian Baptists of Ontario and Quebec, Canadian Baptists of Western Canada and French Baptist Union. Since these are compulsory plans, churches are obligated to offer them to all employees that qualify. For further information regarding eligibility please refer to the Treasurer’s Handbook [4] (click link).
Enrolment forms are available through Karen Gunn, Benefits Coordinator at the Convention office. Email Karen Gunn [5], or phone 506-635-1922 ext 108.
If an employee chooses not to participate in the Plan, the employee must fill in a Pension Waiver Form [6]. The church should keep the original signed waiver on file and send a copy to the Convention Office.
The insurance plan provides for Basic Life insurance, Dependent Life insurance, Health, Dental & Vision coverage, Long Term Disability, Employee Assistance Program and Accidental Death & Dismemberment insurance. Details on these coverages along with premiums can be found in the Treasurer’s Handbook [4] (click link).
Note: Updated documents will be available soon.
