Focused on Supporting Christian Education by Building Community


Whether you are a participant or an employer, CSI’s retirement program is the best fit for you. Having the ability to retire at an appropriate age with sufficient resources is beneficial to participants and schools. However, being able to predictably do so can be a challenge with the limited financial resources of many schools.

CSI Employee Benefits uses a pension program to provide retirement benefits to Christian school employees. The pension program fits well with the community model that drives both Christian education and CSI. By coordinating the retirement efforts of the Christian education community, CSI is able to do a much more efficient, effective and complete job of providing retirement benefits. The challenge is to use the limited resources of schools to the greatest advantage for teachers.

Various Contribution Levels to Meet Your Needs.

CSI has developed a retirement program that is designed specifically for the Christian education community. The program offers a choice of various contribution levels that let schools find the best fit to meet their needs. Each of the contribution levels provides the most bang for the buck through the use of a pension plan that is financially efficient and cost effective.

The CSI pension programs are the best fit for Christian educators and employers for several reasons. Because pension programs provide a defined (predictable) benefit to participants, retirement is predictable event. Teachers do not have to feel trapped in their jobs working longer than they or their employers want them to. 

Pension Programs Are Best Performers.

Pension programs have also been shown to financially outperform individual retirement accounts by a significant margin, often providing 30 to 40 percent greater retirement benefits. Studies show that the increased financial performance of pension programs is a result of several factors including: lower costs, accurate predictions of collective needs, and superior returns on investments. By being financially efficient, CSI’s pension programs can make use of limited resources and still provide viable retirement solutions.

Another reason that CSI has chosen to design pension programs for the Christian education community is the flexibility that the community approach provides. Leveraging the strength of the community, CSI’s pension programs are able to answer the unique needs of the community. Additionally, our plans provide disability benefits and early retirement options that would not be available with individual retirement account programs.

Let CSI Help You Fulfill Your Mission.

In summary, CSI’s retirement program can help your school attract and retain the best educators by taking limited resources and providing powerful retirement benefits. Want to learn more? Please contact us to find out how we can help your school achieve its mission.
