“Participating in CBB’s financial planning process helped my family to name and reflect on our unspoken hopes for our future financial wellness. The process prompted us to set goals and priorities and to experience the relief of knowing we have a well-developed plan.”

~Scott Ford, Passport Camps

Active participants of the Church Benefits Board 403(b)(9) retirement plan can meet with one of Empower’s CFP® professionals to build a comprehensive financial plan, free-of-charge.

When an active participant of the Church Benefits Board 403(b)(9) retirement plan completes their financial plan with Empower, Church Benefits Board will add $500 to their Church Benefits Board 403(b)(9) retirement account.* ** CBB provides this financial planning incentive through generous grant support. Our goal is to encourage all of our participants to improve their financial well-being by building a financial plan.

*The $500 incentive is available while funds last, so do not delay. Schedule your financial planning appointment today.

**The $500 incentive is processed on a quarterly basis. Deposits of the $500 incentive into a participant’s Church Benefits Board 403(b)(9) retirement account can take up to 90 days.

To schedule an appointment, use the button below and when prompted, choose the first service appointment, “An Introduction Call/Welcome Meeting.”

How the financial planning process works:

1) SCHEDULE YOUR FINANCIAL PLANNING APPOINTMENT:

You may schedule your financial planning appointment online. The financial planning process takes place over three phone calls. You will need access to both your phone and a computer during the three phone calls. If you are married, we encourage you to invite your spouse to also attend these planning calls with you.

2) FIRST PHONE CALL:

During your first phone call, your dedicated financial planner at Empower will get to know you and will explore your needs, wants, and wishes related to financial planning. Your financial planner will then collect necessary data and information and begin to develop a personalized plan.

3) SECOND PHONE CALL:

During your second phone call, your financial planner will review the initial data and information. You will then have the opportunity on this call to offer additional information, or make any corrections, to assist with the financial planning process.

4) THIRD PHONE CALL + ANNUAL REVIEW & SUPPORT:

During the third phone call, your financial planner will present your financial plan via an online presentation. You will be have access through a secure portal to review and update your financial plan online. Your financial planner will remain available to review your financial plan on an annual basis, as requested, and is available throughout the year for questions and advice.

Again, CBB provides this financial planning service free-of-charge for all active participants. If you have additional questions, please contact us at churchbenefits@churchbenefits.org.
