Page History

Missionaries often move into new missional locations for the purpose of the gospel. Examples of this would be moving for a church plant, a role at a different church, or a new ministry being set up in a new location. Though these moving costs are no longer considered a tax-free reimbursement, Reliant supports new works and roles such as these through a moving bonus. Full 

Full-Time 40 and 30 hourshour/week employees are eligible for this the full moving bonus. Part Time 25 and 20 hour employees are eligible for a partial bonus. Hourly missionaries are not eligible for the moving bonus.

(Please Note: As you are working on the moving bonus, please also make sure you are filling out the Missionary Change Notification Form and talking with Missionary Resources about your move.)

The goal of the bonus is not to cover all of the below expenses, but it is to help defray the cost for our missionaries. It is up to the missionary whether or not they take the entire bonus they are eligible for, and how they use the bonus. We will not ask for a tracking of expenses for this bonus. 

Examples of expenses that may be incurred during this time include:
