Welcome to the Preachers' Aid Society

   Minimize

Welcome to the Preachers’ Aid Society of New England. We hope that these few pages will give you an overview of our ministry and mission as well as some helpful guides to other significant United Methodist sites.

Our Society has been in continuous service to United Methodist clergy and their families in New England since 1832. We have tried to remain faithful to our core commitment to improving the quality of life among our United Methodist clergy, especially those who have retired from ministry and their surviving spouses. Through our strong financial support for retiree health care, training in personal financial management, spiritual life retreats and direct services to clergy families in need, we have used the endowment of our Society to help generations of families enjoy a rich and full life in Christian ministry.

We invite you to come in and look around; see for yourself how the Preachers’ Aid Society of New England strengthens the common witness of our United Methodist covenant by under girding the leaders who give their lives to our congregations and our members. We thank you for your prayerful and financial support for our work.
