The James Brown Incentive Program

The James Brown Incentive Program (BIP) was created to encourage pastors who are serving churches that are members in good standing with the National Association of the Church of God (NACOG) to begin their retirement planning with Servant Solutions.

It is hoped that most pastors applying for and receiving a BIP grant are pastors early in their career who can begin good planning habits that will be maintained over the long-term and will create adequate income replacement during retirement years. That being said, the program is open to pastors of any age who are in need of assistance to begin or jump-start their retirement planning.

Why should I apply?

Pastors can receive up to a $500 contribution for their retirement into their Servant Solutions Retirement Plan account.. In addition to financial support, we also provide our members with free financial education and planning tools to help them prepare for retirement.

Who can apply?

Any pastor credentialed by the Church of God (Anderson, IN) or formally recognized by the National Association of the Church of God as a minister of the Gospel AND serving at a church in good standing with the National Association of the Church of God (NACOG).
