All ELCA-Primary Health Plan options will change in 2026, and it’s essential to understand your options before Annual Enrollment begins this fall. Whether you’re a rostered minister, lay staff member, or congregational leader, this change affects you and your ministry.

Portico Benefit Services is hosting two important Zoom sessions on Wednesday, August 27, 2025 to explain what’s changing, what tools will be available to help you decide, and how to prepare. Sessions will not be recorded, so we encourage all participants to attend live.

For Rostered Ministers and Lay Staff on the ELCA-Primary Health Plan:

• Wednesday, August 27 at 12:00 PM Pacific / 1:00 PM Mountain

• Register Here

  After registering, you’ll receive a confirmation email with Zoom details.

For Congregational Leaders:

• Wednesday, August 27 at 5:30 PM Pacific / 6:30 PM Mountain

• Register Here

  Again, registration is required and sessions will not be recorded.

This is your opportunity to receive direct guidance and get your questions answered as we prepare for a year of transition in benefits. These sessions are part of our shared responsibility to care for the well-being of our leaders and ensure ministries are equipped with up-to-date information.

As we navigate this change, we’re reminded of our Lutheran commitment to mutual support and wise stewardship. Join us in this important step forward.
