About the Board of Pensions

The Board of Pensions of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) administers the church Benefits Plan and Assistance Program, provides educational opportunities, and manages investments of approximately $9 billion. We are a not-for-profit corporation and one of six national agencies of the General Assembly, the governing body for the PC(USA), which is the largest Presbyterian denomination in the U.S. We trace our roots to 1717, when Presbyterians in Philadelphia established the Fund for Pious Uses to assist ministers and their families.

We respect differences, but we also value them. The approximately 185 individuals who work at the Board reflect the diversity of our region – in ethnicity, religious beliefs, gender, sexual orientation, and generation. They come from various backgrounds, and bring a range of abilities and interests to their work. Diverse perspectives kindle creativity throughout the organization, and through mutual respect, we are able to execute ideas our creativity generates.
