Overview
The Christian Education Pension Plan is designed to provide an important part of the income needed for retirement. The plan is a defined benefit pension plan and was established by Christian Education Benefit Solutions for employees of its schools in Canada. Both participants and schools benefit when educators are able to retire at an appropriate age because they have sufficient resources to do so. However, given the limited financial resources of many schools, predictability of this sufficiency can be a challenge. Our pension program allows for the provision of retirement benefits to all participating Christian school employees.
As more Christian educational organizations participate, the Pension Plan is strengthened. The Pension Plan is overseen by a Trustee Board made up of Canadian Christian educators and financial experts who have a vested interest in ensuring the Christian Education Pension Plan is the best option for retirement.
Highlights
There are several advantages that Christian education staff enjoy when they partner together through the Christian Education Pension Plan.

- Shared Expertise: All pension investments are overseen by a Board of Trustees and professional money managers.
- Shared Risk, Shared Reward. Our Pension Plan spreads investment risk over all Christian educational organizations and participants.
- Benefit for Life: Pension Plan participants receive an annuity for life, regardless of investment returns or life span.
