Retirement Benefits
Investing in Your Future

Access your
Retirement Account
Welcome! Your church has chosen the Church Benefits Board as your retirement planning advocate. As the exclusive administrator of the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship 403(b) retirement plan, CBB offers you more choices than ever before. The CBF/CBB plan combines the tax benefits afforded folks in ministry, such as the housing allowance, and combines it with investment choices similar to those found in commercially available 401(k) plans.  

The Standard
Our retirement partners include Retirement Wealth Management Inc., for advisory services, and StanCorp Financial Group Inc., as plan provider for retirement benefits. At anytime, you can access your account online with The Standard. You can choose how aggressive or conservative your investments will be anytime day or night.
