2024 Pension Plan Annual Report
This year’s Pension Annual Report follows the theme of keys.
Highlights include updated Plan Member demographics, a greeting from President/Board Chair Rev. Dr. Gordon Jensen, reviews of ELCIC Pension Plan finances and investments, and a list of current staff, Board Directors, and contractors.
The ELCIC Pension Plan is a key to open the door to financial wellness in retirement. There may be multiple sets of keys to get you there, but the ELCIC Pension Plan is likely the most significant one if you’ve spent most of your career within the ELCIC. –Gordon Jensen

Investment Results Q1 2025
The ELCIC Pension Plan investments provided a slightly positive return this quarter. The fixed income investments returned just over 2%. While the growth fund saw positive returns in January, losses in February and March resulted in the quarterly return being flat.
The first quarter of 2025 has brought some challenges to the financial markets, mainly due to trade issues. Investors were worried about how the US tariffs might impact business and economic growth around the world.
While some uncertainty remains, markets can still improve in the long run.
Webinar: Family Relationships and Setting Boundaries
Description: Family – immediate or extended, chosen or blood – can be a source of identity, support, love, care, and happiness. But, like most important relationships, family dynamics can also be challenging to navigate.
Join CloudMD this month to learn how to build healthy family relationships, including strategies for managing conflict, setting boundaries, and balancing personal well-being with family commitments. Participants will be equipped with the knowledge and skills to cultivate fulfilling, meaningful connections with family.
Ask an Expert Question / Concern:
“I love my family, but they don’t seem to value or appreciate everything that I do for them. I constantly feel stretched thin from burning the candle at both ends – if I’m not working, I’m driving my kids around, trying to figure out meals for the week, trying to keep track of appointments, trying to stay on top of cleaning. I’m getting frustrated and resentful; I’d give anything for a little time to myself. What can I do?”
