Covenant Benefits
The simple choice. The Covenant choice.
Covenant Benefits was created by the Evangelical Covenant Church in 1993 to provide a comprehensive benefits package to denominational and conference staff, missionaries, local church and camp staff, and retirees. We are a nonprofit, multi-employer group health plan for the Covenant with a commitment to:
- Providing a “one-stop shop” for employers to easily offer a comprehensive benefits package to their pastors and staff as a way of care and employee retention
- Protecting members from financial hardship in times of physical or mental hardship
- Providing quick and thorough service to all
- Managing funds wisely to continuously increase the quality of our benefits package while keeping yearly premium rate increases low
We focus on your benefits, so you can focus on your ministry.

What Does Covenant Benefits Mean to You?
“One of my favorite things about the denomination is the deep care and concern for the well-being of our clergy, not just in ministry, but for their families, for their mental, emotional, and spiritual self-care.”
BRYAN MURPHY
SUPERINTENDENT, PACIFIC SOUTHWEST CONFERENCE
“My husband and I have served as Covenant pastors for almost 40 years, and Covenant Benefits have been a part of our story the entire time. We have called many times with questions, needing direction, needing advocacy.
They have been so incredibly helpful.”
