FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR BY KEVIN P. GILMORE

The Journey to Improve Minister Benefits

Iwould like to share my thoughts about some of the changes that have taken place at NBUSA in recent years and how it has enabled us to improve benefits for those we serve.

“Do everything you can to improve benefits for our ministers” was the heartfelt charge given by the Board of General Superintendents (BGS) when I became Executive Director in 2019. I quickly discovered not only were there no new funds available to support that goal—but there would soon be less. Not due to a lack of support from our churches but because the Funding the Mission (FTM) formula would eventually be restored to its pre-2012 level. Back then, FTM allocations were shifted to the NBUSA Fund and away from our universities to strengthen our legacy pension plan. I remember calculating the negative impact to the NBUSA Fund of the impending change.

Church leaders acted responsibly to address a serious issue with our pension fund, and the results speak for themselves. The stabilization of the plan for pensioners resulted in resources being made available to allocate to improve benefits for our active ministers, so 2024 was the right time to restore the original FTM formula.

Church leaders acted responsibly to address a serious issue with our pension fund and the results speak for themselves.

The Lord has blessed NBUSA with the consistent and faithful support of churches and districts across the U.S. This support, along with favorable market

conditions, has provided the opportunity to improve benefits for our ministers in the following ways:

• Extra Pension Payments – Retirees in our Basic Pension Plan received an extra month’s payment in 2022, 2023, and again this past March.

• Extra APS Contributions – Eligible active participants in our 403(b) plan received additional Annual Pension Supplement (APS) contributions in 2022 and 2023.

• COVID Response – A number of immediate, temporary changes were implemented to the 403(b) plan to help ministers cope with the financial challenges of the pandemic.

• Survivor Benefits – Doubled the life insurance benefit to $30,000 for active ministers up to age 50 and added a $7,500 benefit for those age 71-75.

• 403(b) Roth Option – Added a Roth component to the 403(b) plan to give participants the ability to invest after-tax dollars to obtain tax-free distributions in retirement. Using the Roth for a portion of your investments is a strategy to consider because the minister housing allowance benefit ends upon death and is not transferred to a beneficiary.

• 403(b) BrokerageLink® – Partnered with Fidelity Investments to introduce a brokerage option,1 allowing participants to access a broad array of mutual and index funds.

• Bilingual Staff – Added a full-time, bivocational, Nazarene minister to our team to better serve the needs of our growing population of Hispanic clergy.

• 403(b) Minister Match – Launched January 1, 2024, this match program replaced the old APS system to directly address the significant and widespread lack of retirement readiness among our active clergy. It provides higher contribution levels from NBUSA through matching local effort contributions

to a minister’s 403(b) account. It was later amended to include a match opportunity for eligible student loan payments.

• A Path to Retire Well – Too many of our ministers, active and retired, lack a clear understanding about the nature of the retirement benefits provided by NBUSA. Since our founding in 1919, these benefits have been intended to supplement and not be the sole source of their retirement benefits. To fund an adequate retirement for the average Nazarene minister, it takes a combination of personal savings, Nazarene benefits (provided by their local church and NBUSA), and Social Security.

The Minister Match program provides a clear and simple path and process for ministers to retire well—and it starts with the foundational requirement for local effort contributions by the minister and/or their local church in addition to their support of the NBUSA Fund, which is our primary source for funding our benefits. The positive results for the first year of the match program demonstrate what is possible when the local minister, church, and NBUSA work together towards a vision that Nazarene ministers retire well.

What a wonderful list of God’s blessings! What might He have in store for us next? We’re already working on exploring some new initiatives. Stay tuned—Lord willing, there is more to come!

Kevin P. Gilmore serves as executive director of Nazarene Benefits USA for the Church of the Nazarene.

1 This option is treated and priced similar to a retail investment account but remains within the 403(b) plan. Funds invested are not provided oversight by the Investment Committee of the Church and do not benefit from the institutional pricing and lower cost structure of the plan’s preselected fund options.

SENSIBLE STEWARDSHIP BY AMY ARTIGA

How Bumpy of a Ride Can You Handle?

How to Determine Asset Allocation

Whew! We’re about halfway through the year, and what a year it has been. Many investors feel like they’ve gone from tubing down a calm river to white water rafting. It can be a lot of fun, but you have to know what you’re getting yourself into or you’ll fall out of the boat.

What you’re getting yourself into is called Asset Allocation in technical terms. It’s how you have your money invested— how much is in stocks, bonds, and other things. It matters a lot because different investments behave differently. Some are choppy Class 1 rapids and some are heart-stopping Class 4 rapids.

You may wonder why anyone would choose Class 4 rapids when they’re so scary. It’s because they get you to your destination faster. Typically, the investments with the greatest potential returns are the ones that move around the most. This volatility is called Risk in financial terms. Perhaps you have heard that stocks are riskier than bonds. That just means that their values fluctuate more.

Investors take on more risk (or volatility) in hopes of earning higher returns. Over the last hundred years or so, stocks have returned around 10% per year while bonds have earned about 5% per year. Those investors who took on more risk by investing in stocks were rewarded for it.

When choosing your investments, you have to consider what kind of returns you need. It may be tempting to keep your money in cash, where the value doesn’t change, but that’s actually dangerous. Because the value does change. Historically, inflation has averaged around 3% per year. That means the purchasing power of all the cash you have is decreasing in value by 3% per year.

When deciding how to invest your money, you also need to consider how big of rapids you can stomach—your Risk Tolerance. Think back to 2022. How did your investments

make you feel? If you don’t know what I’m talking about, then psychologically, you have a high risk tolerance. That year was bad for investors. It was only the third year since they started tracking in 1926 that both stocks and bonds were down. If you were a nervous wreck in 2022, then you have a low psychological risk tolerance. You get seasick in white water.

When deciding how to invest your money, you also need to consider how big of rapids you can stomach—your Risk Tolerance.

Your emotional response is not the only factor in risk tolerance; your financial situation plays a big part, too. If you’re 30 years old and have 35 years before you’ll be using your retirement funds, you have a high risk tolerance. You can ride the ups and downs of the stock market because you have plenty of time for your accounts to recover after you go over a waterfall. If you’re retired and need

that money to pay your air conditioning bill next month, then you have a lower risk tolerance. You can’t afford for your money to lose half its value.

Just because you’re retired doesn’t necessarily mean you have a low risk tolerance, though. If you can cover your living expenses with your Social Security checks and pension income, you may have a high risk tolerance for your investments. You can afford to have your money lose half its value because you don’t need it.

So what kind of water sports are you up for?

The Class 4 rapids of the stock market? The Class 1 rapids of bonds? The lazy river of cash? Likely, you’ll want a combination of those. Your exact combination, or Asset Allocation, should be determined thoughtfully, taking into account both your feelings and your financial situation.

PRESSING ON BY DARON BROWN

Life at the Table

“I

can’t explain it. I just know that I live for it. And I live from it.”

She is fresh from the table of grace, misty eyed. But this was more than an emotional encounter. Something is happening in her. She is increasingly alive with the life of Jesus. She is experiencing

personal revival. She connects her revival to the table of grace. Although she can’t explain it, she knows that she lives for what happens at the table and from what happens at the table.

An article about revival popped up in my news feed. The title was “Seven Steps to Revival.” I clicked

out of curiosity. All seven of the “Seven Steps to Revival” begin with “We must…” All seven are good and healthy practices. All seven have biblical basis. It would be hard to disagree with the importance of any of the seven. All seven are things that we must be doing. The article and the author, I have no doubt, are well intentioned. But does revival begin with what we must do?

Revival means to make alive again. We humans are clearly incapable of making ourselves alive. We need the Living God to meet us where we are to make us alive. This is the role the sacraments serve, particularly the sacrament of Holy Communion. Could the revival we long for begin at the table of grace?

The Wesleyan revival within the Church of England in the eighteenth century combined evangelical and sacramental streams. This was one of many ways John Wesley opted for both/and instead of either/or. In his mind and heart, there was beauty in the blending. His focus on heart change and inward growth did not cause him to diminish the importance of the sacraments. In fact, by synthesizing evangelism and the sacraments, Wesley emphasized the powerful presence of God in the sacraments that brought evangelical revival.

Wesley emphasized the powerful presence of God in the sacraments that brought evangelical revival.

In one of his communion hymns, Charles Wesley highlighted the availability of God’s life-giving power in the bread and cup:

Come, Holy Ghost, thine influence shed, And realize the sign; Thy life infuse into the bread, Thy power into the wine.

Effectual let the tokens prove, And made, by heavenly art, Fit channels to convey thy love

To every faithful heart.1

The Church of the Nazarene’s Articles of Faith describe both sacraments as “means of grace” that do the work of proclaiming. Article XIII says that in The Lord’s Supper, “… Christ is present by the Spirit.

All are invited to participate by faith in Christ and be renewed in life, salvation, and in unity as the Church.”2

Unfortunately, many pastors and local churches settle for a low view of the sacraments as mere memorials or testimonies. Sacraments are sometimes peripheral and infrequently practiced. When they are practiced, human obedience is often emphasized more than God’s saving and sanctifying activity.

In studying our Wesleyan roots and our Nazarene theology, we can recover a rich understanding of the sacraments in which God in Christ, through the power of the Spirit, makes himself really present to us. Receiving the sacraments is not another “we must” like the list of seven steps. The sacraments are not primarily about what we do. The beauty of the sacraments, in part, is that our roles are secondary and responsive. God is the Primary Agent. In the sacraments, we encounter the Living God and avail ourselves to God’s prevenient, saving, and sanctifying grace. Something real happens in the sacraments precisely because God is really present In the sacraments, God claims, saves, energizes, heals, blesses, transforms, and much more.

Many of us hunger and pray for revival. We want revival that is authentic and widespread. We long for revival that is transformative for ourselves, our communities, our denomination, our country, and this world. What if the starting place for revival is in the sacraments? What if the life we long for begins in the bread and cup?

May we become increasingly alive with the life of Jesus. May we live for our encounters with Christ at the table, and may we live from those encounters. In doing so, may we experience revival.

DWELLING WITH GOD

BY MARY REARICK PAUL

Falling in Love

“Hear , O Israel; The Lord our God is one: You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength” (Deuteronomy 6:4).

“You shall love…” is a startling way to begin a sentence. Not only are we resistant to being directed to love but we also have a common assumption that love can’t arise on command. “The heart loves what it loves” is the phrase we often hear, with an assumption that our hearts have their own agency regarding who, how, and what we love. It might be helpful to question that notion: Do we really have no input in who and how we love? Are we just at the whims of our hearts? In the naming of loving God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength, we can hear an invitation rather than a command to fall in love with God. The question isn’t what our hearts feel but what practices cultivate good soil for our hearts, souls, and minds to fall in love with God.

It is helpful to remember that to “love God” is to first know we are responding to One who fully loves us. The often-quoted John 3:16 begins with these words of truth and promise: “For God so loved...” Insert your name to the end of this phrase, and allow the beauty of that love and promise to fall over your being in whatever state of life you find yourself. For God so loves me. The more we allow that love to flow over us in prayer, worship, and scripture, the better we can hear the invitation to more deeply grow in our love for God. God always initiates this love relationship.

This love relationship grows as we intentionally share life in the mundane and the thrilling. In the practices of giving prayers of thanks for today’s bread and in the miracles. It is the day-by-day walking with God that creates a deepening intimacy from which we sing, “tis so sweet to trust in Jesus…I have proved him o’er and o’er”.1 We can grow in our understanding of God’s character, promises, calling, and ultimately trust him. As we know God better, we can fall in love with God in ever-deepening ways.

The image of God as our shepherd—particularly found in the 23rd Psalm—is both a great expression of God’s faithful love and an invitation to fall in love. Perhaps, like me, hearing this passage in the King James Version holds memories of the voices of those who have read this passage over you and with you. I can see the people who gave witness to falling in love with Jesus, their Shepherd. It also captures the moments across my life when I have received these words as a promise and assurance. I would encourage you to read it out loud, slowly.

“The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies; thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.” (Psalm 23 KJV)

The more we allow that love to flow over us in prayer, worship, and scripture, the better we can hear the invitation to more deeply grow in our love for God. God always initiates this love relationship.

The 23rd Psalm is a beautiful reminder of God’s character, which is one of love and faithfulness. Our God loves us with provision, rest, leading, restoring, comfort, providing, and promised presence. God loves us like a shepherd. “You shall love” is a call to return that love so that we may know all that God wants to pour into our lives out of love.

There is nothing more beautiful than hearing the testimony of an elderly person who has walked with God in a vibrant way across the years. Their story is not past tense. It is a

present-tense witness that they keep falling in love as they encounter God in each new day. It is an alive witness that says, “The Lord is my Shepherd…surely goodness and mercy follow me.”

District Resources

It’s all God’s money–and we recognize our ability to provide benefits is only made possible through the faithful support of His people through our portion of the Funding the Mission efforts of churches and districts across the U.S.

In Colossians 3:23 Paul wrote, “whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters” (NIV). This is our approach towards the stewardship of the resources provided to us, but we also need to be transparent and accountable about their use.

The chart below illustrates how NBUSA Funds were used during our fiscal year ending in September 2024 compared to the average for the past nine years.

Use of NBUSA Fund Receipts

We also produce an annual District Benefits Received Report which includes the total amount of contributions along with a summary of the benefits NBUSA returned to eligible Nazarene ministers on each U.S. district. Reports were emailed to each district office and are also available at nbusa.org/districtbenefits-received-report.

A video about how NBUSA funds were distributed to districts through the Nazarene match program in 2024 can also be found on this page.

TO PRESENT BY STAN INGERSOL

The Nazarene Synthesis

Nazarenes emerged from the holiness revival of the nineteenth century, children of the National Holiness Association (NHA). The NHA conducted holiness camp meetings and conventions starting in 1867 at Vineland, New Jersey. By 1900, it had spawned a network of state and local holiness associations across America. The story is well-told in Melvin E. Dieter’s The Holiness Revival of the Nineteenth Century (1980) and Charles Edwin Jones’ Perfectionist Persuasion (1974).

Early Nazarene leaders were active NHA members and preached in its camps, including C. W. Ruth, Phineas Bresee, and Edward F. Walker. Nazarenes have long called Christian holiness “our watchword and song.”

A common commitment to Christian holiness was not the only thing that knit the Nazarenes together. By 1900, North America was home to nearly 30 holiness groups, yet only five (and part of a sixth) were consolidated into the Pentecostal Church of the Nazarene by late 1908. So, why did other groups not join? Three elements in the Nazarene synthesis attracted those who united but excluded others.

The first was the acceptance of women in the ministry on an equal basis with men, a view held by all three uniting churches of 1907 and 1908. Bresee referred to a ministry inclusive of women as an “apostolic ministry” and believed that denominations that did not affirm women in ministry lacked this apostolic characteristic.

PAST

Camp Meeting Scene with Dr. Bresee in Foreground

Nazarene contemporaries shared his view. A woman was ordained by the Nazarene forebears in New England in 1892, in the South in 1899, and on the Pacific coast in 1902. The gifts and graces of women in apostolic ministry were affirmed at the First and Second General Assemblies, where women were included in both classes of ordinands.

This feature excluded other groups. J. O. McClurkan refused to unite with Pentecostal Nazarenes over three issues, including this one. His Pentecostal Mission deployed women as evangelists and pastors, but he would not ordain them. His group only joined the Nazarenes after his death.

The second attracting and repelling issue was the Nazarene position on millennial theories. Interest in the subject was propelled by a series of prophecy conferences held across America in the late nineteenth century. The NHA would not allow speakers to preach on the Second Coming at its conferences and conventions because of the divisive potential. The NHA’s focus was on “the north star of holiness” without deviation into side issues.

The Nazarene synthesis gave space for members to hold differing millennial views. Bresee leaned toward premillennialism but considered the whole subject speculative and insisted on only broad affirmations concerning Christ’s return.1 A. M. Hills, who taught theology at Pasadena College, was an ardent post-millennialist. His colleague, Olive Winchester, a New Testament scholar, was an amillennialist who believed that all elements of the Book of Revelation described events of the first and second centuries. The Nazarene watchword regarding Second Coming theory was “Liberty of Conscience.”

By contrast, other groups like the Pilgrim Holiness Church enshrined premillennialism as an article of faith, which would have excluded Hills, Winchester, and most Nazarenes in New England.

In the Nazarene synthesis, “Liberty of Conscience” also applied to baptismal theology and practice. Bresee’s primary practice was to baptize infants, doing so in various settings—including district assemblies—and he would immerse adults in Pacific Ocean surf. General superintendents Reynolds,

Goodwin, Williams, and Chapman baptized dozens of infants at district assemblies in the 1920s and ‘30s.2 One could be sprinkled, poured, or immersed. Chapman said Nazarenes insist only upon “some water by some mode.”3

Other holiness groups held exclusionary views. The Holiness Baptists of Arkansas would only unite with groups that practiced immersion. The New Testament Church of Christ also had an exclusive view, namely pouring as the scriptural mode of baptism, but its leaders were able to compromise and enter into covenant with those who preferred other modes.

So, the Nazarene synthesis had four elements: commitment to the Wesleyan-holiness theology of grace, including the grace of entire sanctification; women in ministry on an equal basis with men; and liberty of conscience on millennial theologies and baptismal practice.

These positions are all broad, not narrow. They have been part of our theological DNA, and every group joining the Nazarenes since 1908 has accepted this synthesis, which has served us well for a century and a quarter.

TO YOUR HEALTH

BY STEPHEN A. WILSON

Measles–What Is Old Is New Again

Many of the readers of NBUSA Quarterly have children and grandchildren. Some have great grandchildren. Please encourage them to get their childhood vaccines. MMR vaccine saves lives and prevents disability for life.

MMR vaccine saves lives and prevents disability for life.

Vaccinating children with the Measles, Mumps, Rubella (MMR) vaccine is vital and effective in protecting their health and the health of the community. These three highly contagious diseases can lead to severe complications such as pneumonia, brain swelling, hearing loss, or even death in extreme cases. At its peak, there were 500,000 cases of measles in the USA annually resulting in 500 deaths. Getting two doses of MMR vaccine reduces the chances of getting these diseases by about 97%. This article focuses on measles.

What is measles? Measles is a highly contagious, vaccine-preventable viral illness. There are four phases: 1) incubation, 2) prodrome, 3) rash, and 4) recovery.

• Incubation lasts about 10-12 days after exposure; there are no symptoms.

• Prodrome can last 2-4 days and begin with symptoms of fever, cough, coryza (runny nose), and conjunctivitis (red, watery eyes). Small white spots, known as Koplik spots, may appear inside the mouth 2–3 days after symptoms start.

• Rash that is red and blotchy starts on the face and spreads down to the trunk, arms, legs, and feet. It usually appears 14 days after exposure and lasts about 5–6

days. Fever may spike during this phase, sometimes exceeding 104°F (40°C).

• Recovery, the rash fades in the same order it appeared, and symptoms gradually resolve.

However, complications like ear infections, diarrhea, pneumonia, or encephalitis can occur, especially in young children, adults over 20, pregnant women, and those immunocompromised by medicines or comorbid illness. Ear infection and diarrhea occur in less than 10% of cases. Pneumonia occurs in about 5% (1 in 20) children. Encephalitis (brain swelling) in 1 in 1,000 cases. Some of the brain sequelae can be fatal, lead to disability, or occur up to a month after the initial infection. Other rare complications include hepatitis, myocarditis, or keratoconjunctivitis, which can lead eventually to blindness.

Because vaccination has been so successful, people have either forgotten or have never seen the results of measles. Instead, they get concerned about temporary side effects of the vaccine, which may include mild fever in 5–15% of people 6–12 days after vaccination, transient mild rash in ~5% of people, temporary joint pain in up to 25% of adult women but less common in children, and rarely transient swelling of neck and cheek glands. Severe side effects, such as allergic reactions (1 in a million doses) or febrile seizures (1 in 3,000), are extremely rare.

Because vaccination has been so successful, people have either forgotten or have never seen the results of measles. Instead they get concerned about temporary side effects of the vaccine.

One side effect that is missing is autism because MMR vaccine does not cause autism. Multiple large studies have shown this. The one study that suggested a link was later found to be a fraudulent fabrication. This 1998 study by Andrew Wakefield was published in The Lancet. It was discovered later that Wakefield manipulated data and failed to disclose financial conflicts of interest. The study was retracted (removed permanently from The Lancet) in 2010, and Wakefield lost his medical license.

Measles is very infectious. The “attack rate” refers to the proportion of people exposed to a disease who become infected. It varies for different infections. Measles has a very high attack rate, as high as 90% among unvaccinated individuals exposed to the virus.

Immunizations protect the vaccinated as well as those around them, also called herd immunity. Herd immunity protects those who are unable to receive vaccines, such as newborns or individuals with compromised immune systems. This collective immunity helps prevents outbreaks in schools and communities. Herd immunity is most effective when the MMR vaccinate rate is >90%.

Please do not

1) Forget about the death, disability, and sickness measles can cause in unvaccinated people or communities with low vaccination rates.

2) Send children to go to “measles parties” to be intentionally infected with measles from an infected child, which is multiple times more risky than the vaccine, which has not caused a death in a healthy recipient.

3) Discourage MMR vaccination. Overall, MMR vaccine is safe. It protects the recipient, those around them, and their community. There are decades of use and rigorous testing affirming its effectiveness. Side effects are generally mild and temporary. The benefits far outweigh the risks.

Nazarene Benefits USA strives to support ministers from their first assignment through retirement.

One way we support ministers is through Nazarene events. Our events are attended in person or virtually with a live representative.

We strive to educate participants on our benefit plans, financial markets, the importance of retirement planning, and a variety of other financial issues that may be impactful.

Participant registration is required, but all events are free of charge.
