Whether planning their retirement, picking the right health care plan or insuring their families are well looked after in the event of their death, pastors and church leaders have to navigate a plethora of information when it comes to making smart decisions for the future.

Wespath has developed a free webinar series called “Sifting through the Facts” that provides detailed information on the following topics:

  • De-Mystifying Heath Savings Accounts — This webinar will cover the basics of health savings accounts, how they work, how you can leverage them to help save money – for healthcare and possibly retirement.

  • 50 Ways to Support Your Pastor’s Well-Being — Your pastor’s health and well-being are critical to vital ministry and require a two-way partnership between the pastor and the congregation. Learn ways to lead the congregation to support the well-being of pastors and a process for constructive dialogue.
