As a participant in the BMA of America Retirement Plan, you know that a good retirement strategy is not just one-dimensional. It takes multiple streams of income working together—Social Security and your retirement plan investments—to provide both security and flexibility. This combination helps build what we call your Future Funded Ministry, allowing you to minister with or without compensation in your golden years.

Ministry doesn’t stop when financial questions arise—but we know those questions can weigh heavily on pastors and churches. At BMA Financial, our goal is simple: to remove financial uncertainty so you can stay focused on what matters most—fulfilling your role for your church by trusting God and stewarding his finances well.

When it comes to money, the best financial advice book you’ll ever find is the Bible. Proverbs 13:11 says, “Wealth gained hastily will dwindle, but whoever gathers little by little will increase it.” That’s God’s way of saying wealth isn’t built by chasing "get-rich-quick-schemes" but by steady, faithful stewardship over time.

If you’re retired—or even preparing for retirement—you’ve likely asked yourself a tough question: What happens if the market drops right when I need income? The last thing anyone wants is to be forced into selling stocks at a loss just to cover everyday expenses. That’s where a practical approach called the bucket strategy can help.

Procrastination doesn’t just steal time—it can also steal God-given opportunity. When it comes to investing, delaying can have a lasting impact not only on your personal finances, but on your ability to steward resources for kingdom impact.
