Benefits & Rates

2024 Benefits Package

Covenant Benefits is a ministry of the Covenant Church to provide an avenue for Covenant churches and ministries to share the cost and administrative burden of managing employee benefits contracts. Premiums paid to Covenant Benefits directly pay for Covenant pastors’ and ministry staff’s medical expenses. It’s a tangible way the Covenant is “in it together” in ministry and caring for each other.

We have been hard at work this year training new staff, educating members on how to use their benefits most effectively, and preparing for the next year. New staff includes a manager of benefit education and church relations—please reach out to Aaron Dean for personalized assistance in determining how Covenant Benefits fits into your ministry.

Most significantly, we have successfully transitioned our billing and enrollment platform to a new partner. The open enrollment process is improved with a platform specifically designed to help pastors and ministry staff understand their benefits and assist them in making decisions.

Enrollment and Other Policy Changes

Covenant Benefits has migrated to a new and improved platform that makes it easier for churches and ministries to educate employees and administer policy changes.

Enrolled and newly eligible employees can register and log on to covbenefits.mybenefitchoice.com to view benefits information, update personal information, add life insurance beneficiaries, and request changes to their benefits based on qualifying life events. 

Churches and participating ministries may request enrollment and other policy changes using a simple, secure online form. Please contact us for access.

If your ministry does not yet partner with Covenant benefits and is excited to learn more and get started, please contact us for a one-on-one consultation.

Prior to moving to the USA, I was a professor at the National University of Colombia and served with the International Fellowship of Evangelical Students in Colombia for 16 years. Starting in 2001, I served as InterVarsity National Staff in the USA. I have a master’s degree in Christian Ministries, and I serve in Spiritual Direction to those who want to be fully present and available to God and receive His grace over them. My joy is to see professors and college students coming to know Jesus and being transformed into people that bring the good news of righteousness and justice to others.
