In the past, when an HR issue arose, I had to contact our labor attorney for guidance. And, if it involved more than just a phone conversation, it became billable time. The HR Services provides a multitude of services, from answering HR questions, to establishing COVID protocols, to policy and handbook templates that may be customized. It has been a much simpler process for me overall. I really enjoy the HR Question of the Week emails I receive; they more often than not, provide answers to questions I might not have had a chance to email about.

I usually handle my correspondence with HR Services via written tickets, written follow-ups, etc. This was my first time calling in and the experience was great. Brian answered all of my questions and this documentation of our conversation is both very accurate and very helpful. THANKS so much!

I have been so impressed with your service and responses I personally paid for a 6-month subscription for my previous church.

I have been using the site and really appreciate all of the information in one place. Working with the specialists has been wonderful as well. I feel that it is a great tool for our ministry here at St. Peter Lutheran Church.

I’m part of a family with many church workers, and I went to an LCMS college (River Forest), so many of my friends serve the church, too. I love working for Concordia Plans because I understand the needs of those serving the church, and I enjoy being a part of their pathway to financial and retirement security.

The people, the atmosphere, the overall mission… This is what I like about Concordia Plans. I love being able to help those who are serving the church. It’s a blessing to be able to work at a place I enjoy going to every day.

I was drawn to Concordia Plans because of its overall mission to serve others. What keeps me here is the thriving business environment, where I feel challenged and supported to do meaningful work. Leaving the corporate world to work for a nonprofit doesn’t have to mean giving up that stimulating environment—at Concordia Plans, it means working with a community of business professionals united for a greater purpose.

I moved to St. Louis and joined Concordia Plans almost nine years ago after working 25 years in the secular world in the Twin Cities. What I’ve loved about CPS from the beginning was the focus on serving ministries and caring for workers. That mission and focus is why I’m still here!

Working for Concordia Plans gives me the opportunity, as a lay person, to serve those who are serving in ministry. It’s rewarding to help church workers better understand their benefits and equip them to use those benefits to their fullest

The great thing about Concordia Plans is the importance placed on work/life balance. Seldom do you find an organization that equally promotes professional development along with spending time with your family.

The great thing about Concordia Plans is it’s a Christian-based organization with outstanding benefits. We take pride in serving and supporting our customers and we’re always looking for ways to improve. It’s a blessing to work for this company.

Paychex's processing time is very good. Paychex support has been timely. Paychex's understanding of a church payroll is excellent in dealing with housing allowances and tax exemption situations and other nuances of a religious organization.

It was apparent to us that Paycor provided the most flexibility in processing our bi-weekly payroll out of two different checkbooks and chart of accounts, yet are able to combine the two entities for reporting into the government.

The certainty and accuracy of payroll tax withholding, remitting and reporting is critical for all congregations and their officers. The Paycor system is ideal for volunteer church treasurers and very economical for the service provided.

Concordia Plans sincerely cares about the health of their constituents. I recently had a situation and they supported me and helped me get through it.

I have always experienced prompt service and never any adverse situation.  I like the portal, and the information on the Concordia Plans website is easy to access and understand!

Concordia Plans is easy to work with since I am a volunteer at the church. They take care of so many things for us that we wouldn't know to do as volunteers.

Customer service, wise decisions, support for my health goals, easy to talk to, most importantly, agreement with my own personal values.

Concordia Plans is doing a great job, being patient with me while answering my questions.  Thank you!!
