In reply to Carl Vehse.

Per the LCMS Handbook, 3.7.1, Concordia Plan Services (CPS) “is responsible for managing the benefit plans/trusts of the LCMS . . .” In addition, 3.7.1.2 specifies “Concordia Plan Services is also responsible for managing other ancillary programs . . .” This action is being taken simply to provide CPS with the tools and structure to best meet its purpose as defined by the Synod in Convention.
