History

Wesleyan Pension Fund was established in November 1968 to provide for the retirement needs of the ministers of the newly formed Wesleyan Church. Prior to 1968, the predecessor denominations, Wesleyan Methodist Church and The Pilgrim Holiness Church, both had retirement plans serving their ministers. Following the merger that created The Wesleyan Church, the General Board acted to create a new entity, Wesleyan Pension Fund, that would serve the ministers and church staff of this newly created denomination.

For the last 57 years, Wesleyan Pension Fund has served the needs of individuals initially through a Defined Benefit Plan, and since 1999, with a Defined Contribution Plan. Wesleyan Pension Fund continues to provide retirement benefits to the remaining members of the Defined Benefit Plan of The Wesleyan Church as well as one surviving beneficiary of The Pilgrim Pension Plan. The current plan serves over 4,700 individuals with combined assets of over 400 million dollars.

Beginning in January 2025, the Board of Pensions of Wesleyan Pension Fund contracted with Servant Solutions to operate the day-to-day operations of Wesleyan Pension Fund. Servant Solutions is a sister organization, originally created to serve the retirement needs of the Church of God, Anderson, Indiana.

Servant Solutions continues to grow serving churches and ministry organizations all over the United States. Through this partnership, Wesleyan Pension Fund powered by Servant Solutions (WPF) will be better equipped to meet the needs of our members and the partnership with Servant Solutions will allow both organizations to continue to grow stronger.
