Save money and receive great service
Do you like saving money?
There are a number of partnership programs the Fellowship Services department provides to help Fellowship church members save money.
The Fellowship offers competitive healthcare and pension plans that churches can participate in to provide important benefits to church employees. We offer programs to benefit our Fellowship churches with Brokerforce providing church insurance, Baptist Builders providing financial assistance to churches involved in small capital projects, a church loan program to offering churches financial assistance, and a Plan to Protect partnership enabling our churches to receive a 10% discount on Plan to Protect materials.
Today, I want to highlight a couple of programs that are not just for our churches and pastors, but can be beneficial to all our Fellowship church attendees:
D.L. Deeks Insurance Services Inc.
Deeks has been insuring members and supporting the Fellowship for over 14 years. Through this unique partnership, members and adherents of Fellowship Baptist churches benefit from preferred rates on their personal auto, and property insurance. Customers benefit from the purchasing power of our church membership across Canada which secures the best competitive rates. The insurance coverage is underwritten by the largest insurance company in Canada with their 24/7 claims network. When successful, this program helps individuals save on their personal insurance while helping support the ministry advancement of The Fellowship. Don’t keep it a secret—the growth of this program happens best through word of mouth, so please share it with your family and friends.
Enterprise/National
We have a partnership with Enterprise and National that provides vehicle rental discounts across all their locations throughout Canada and around the world. This program is available to all Fellowship pastors, church members, and adherents. Set up an Emerald Club account and link it to our corporate account by referencing our account number: XVC1173.
Car rentals rates have significantly increased since the pandemic, so check out this partnership program available to all Fellowship church members. I recently became an Emerald Club member and the savings have been significant — 30% or more! Also, as a member you don’t stand in line to get your rental vehicle — you go to the special “Emerald Aisle” at Enterprise/National, pick out your car and find the keys waiting for you in the vehicle, saving money and time.
I also want to underscore the critical importance of all church staff and missions personnel being enrolled in a pension plan to prepare for the future. If you’re not in a pension plan check out the Fellowship’s plan with SunLife. I’ve been a plan member for 37 years and I’m very pleased with the results. Currently my Fellowship pension plan has grown by 9.8% over the past three years and 8.1% over the past five years despite walking through a pandemic and financial downturn in recent years.
