Partners in Caring assist families of clergy NC Conference Partners in Caring (PIC) is a way to care for the families of clergy members after they die. Beneficiary families receive $6,000 (effective 7/1/2012) from PIC when their participating clergy person dies. Member clergy contribute $20 (starting 7/1/2012) upon notification by PIC of each death. Membership in PIC is open to all pastors under appointment under the age of 60. The initial enrollment fee is $20. The hope is that every pastor in the North Carolina Annual Conference will want to respond to this ministry of compassion and connection. The Board of Trustees of PiC also wishes to bring before the Executive Session of Annual Conference 2012 proposed constitutional changes.
