All clergy are invited to attend the Clergy Benefits Academy hosted by the General Board – Pension and Health Benefits of the United Methodist Church. The Clergy Benefits Academy will be presented October 24-26, 2016 in Branson, Missouri at the Hilton Branson Convention Center Hotel. The Missouri United Methodist Foundation would like to reimburse clergy attending the academy for 2 nights of hotel room at the Hilton Branson Convention Center Hotel.

There is something for everyone! This event is an opportunity to learn about the many benefit issues that affect your life and ministry. You can even earn continuing education units (CEUs) for attending.
