Finding Our Way with Compass: What You Need to Know (November 13, 2025)
DATE: Thursday, November 13, 2025
TIME: 6:30 p.m. CST
PRESENTERS: Rev. Dr. Ken Sloane, Discipleship Ministries; Bob Christophel & Tony Prestipinio, Wespath
As we move into 2026, one of the changes that will affect both clergy and local churches (especially financial leaders) is the shift to the Compass Pension Plan. This change was approved at the 2024 General Conference. It applies to churches and clergy in the U.S. and reflects the realities of what the denomination and annual conferences have been through in recent years. It also continues our United Methodist tradition of caring for the financial well-being of our clergy during their ministry and especially in their retirement years.
Ken Sloane, Director of Stewardship and Generosity at Discipleship Ministries, will welcome two friends and colleagues from Wespath Benefits & Investments: Bob Christophel and Tony Prestipino, who will walk us through what is changing, what is not changing, and why making changes was important to the church and our ministry. Plan now to join us!
