Founded in 1943 as the Pension Board, BBT has a long tradition of caring service for Church of the Brethren members and agencies. BBT staff consists of people of faith who provide myriad services -- pension; insurance; asset and gift plan management; financial assistance for retired church workers in need; and Web site, e-mail, and e-commerce development and hosting -- from the Church of the Brethren General Offices in Elgin., Ill., and from a field office in Harrisonburg, Va. BBT's Board of Directors is comprised of 12 Church of the Brethren members who are experts in law, finance, benefits, or investments. Staff know members by name, not by number. Ministries are compassionately managed to provide savings for members, not profit for a corporate bottom line. Ministries are undergirded by a strong investment philosophy, with assets invested in socially responsible ways.</font></p><p><hr></p><p><font size="5"><b>This site was designed for use with frames capable browsers.
