Board of Pensions Information and Documents
COM Board of Pensions Team
We know that we cannot cover every situation in every church. The COM policy allows for exceptions to the 2025 BOP policy.
To receive an exemption pastor and representative of the session/congregation must meet with one of the COM BOP team.
They are available in facilitating a discussion about the options and what would work best for your particular situation. You may call on them whether you need and exemption or not.
