QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

We recommend that you read the Proxy Statement/Prospectus. The following questions and answers provide an overview of key features of the Reorganization and of the information contained in this Proxy Statement/Prospectus.

Why did I receive this Proxy Statement/Prospectus?

This Proxy Statement/Prospectus provides you with information about the reorganization (“Reorganization”) between Praxis Core Stock Fund (the “Acquired Fund”), a series of Praxis Mutual Funds (the “Trust”), and Praxis Growth Index Fund (the “Acquiring Fund”), also a series of the Trust.

On September 28, 2012, the Board of Trustees of the Trust approved the Reorganization of the Acquired Fund into the Acquiring Fund. The Reorganization will require shareholder approval.

Why is the Reorganization being recommended?

The Acquired Fund has struggled to attract additional assets due to poor past performance, and Everence Capital Management, Inc. (“Adviser”) and the Board of Trustees believe that the Acquired Fund is unlikely to attract and retain sufficient assets in the near term to achieve necessary economies of scale.

What will happen to my existing shares?

Immediately after the Reorganization, you will own shares of the Acquiring Fund in an amount equal in value to the shares of the Acquired Fund that you held immediately prior to the closing of the Reorganization (although the number of shares and the net asset value per share may be different). You will receive the same class of shares in the Acquiring Fund that you held in the Acquired Fund.

How do the fees and expenses compare?

The Acquired Fund has an investment advisory fee of 0.74%, while the Acquiring Fund has a lower investment advisory fee of 0.30%. Class A shares of each Fund are subject to the same 12b-1 fees and front-end sales charges. Class I shares of each Fund neither impose a 12b-1 fee nor a front-end sales charge. The current gross expense ratios for the Core Stock Fund’s Class A and Class I Shares are 1.61% and 0.91%, respectively. Post-Reorganization it is estimated that the gross expense ratios for the Growth Index Fund’s Class A and Class I Shares will be 1.13% and 0.49%, respectively.

In addition, the Adviser has entered into a contractual expense limitation agreement with respect to the Acquiring Fund Class A shares until November 7, 2013. The Adviser has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its fees and/or reimburse certain Fund expenses in order to limit total Annual Fund Operating Expenses (excluding AFFE, brokerage costs, interest, taxes, dividends, fees paid to vendors for providing fair value pricing and fund compliance services, Trustees fees, legal fees, costs relating to such services and extraordinary expenses) for the Acquiring Fund to 1.04% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. The Fund has agreed to repay the Adviser for the amounts waived and/or reimbursed by the Adviser pursuant to this expense limitation agreement provided that such repayment does not cause the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses (excluding, AFFE, brokerage costs, interest, taxes, dividends, fees paid to vendors for providing fair value pricing and fund compliance services, Trustees fees, legal fees, costs relating to such services and extraordinary expenses) to exceed 1.04 percent, and the repayment is made within three years after the year in which the Adviser waived and/or reimbursed the expense. The Acquired Fund does not have such an expense limitation agreement in place with the Adviser. The section titled “Comparative Fee Tables and Expenses Examples” of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus compares the fees and expenses of the Funds in detail.

How do the investment objectives and principal investment strategies of the Acquired Fund and the Acquiring Fund compare?

Each Fund has similar investment objectives and principal investment strategies, although the Acquired Fund is actively managed and the Acquiring Fund is managed to track an index. The sections of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus titled “Comparison of Investment Objectives and Principal Investment Strategies” and “Additional Information about Investment Strategies of Acquired Fund and Acquiring Fund” describe the investment goals and principal investment strategies of the Funds.

Will I have to pay federal income taxes as a result of the Reorganization?

Shareholders are not expected to recognize gain or loss for federal income tax purposes on the Acquiring Fund shares received in the Reorganization. The Reorganization is intended to qualify as a tax-free reorganization for federal income tax purposes. The section of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus titled “Federal Income Tax Consequences” provides additional information regarding the federal income tax consequences of the Reorganization.

Who will manage the Acquiring Fund after the Reorganization?

The Adviser will continue to serve as the investment adviser to the Acquiring Fund. The same portfolio manager who currently manages the Acquiring Fund will continue to manage the Acquiring Fund after the Reorganization. For more information about the Adviser please see the section of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus titled “Fund Management.” The portfolio management team who currently manages the Acquired Fund will not be involved in the management of the Acquiring Fund after the Reorganization.

Will any of the Acquired Fund’s securities be sold prior to the Reorganization?

Yes, it is anticipated that the Adviser will reposition approximately 60% of the current market value of securities in the Acquired Fund prior to the Reorganization. The securities will be sold to reposition the Acquired Fund’s investments to align more closely with the Acquiring Fund's benchmark index, Standard & Poor’s 500 Growth Index. Based upon the assumption that the repositioning would be carried out in advance of the Reorganization, the estimated impact to the Acquired Fund from transaction costs is approximately 0.06% of its net asset value. It is also anticipated that the repositioning will generate realized gains and that these realized gains will be used to offset historical, accumulated capital loss carry forwards.

Will I have to pay any sales load, commission or other similar fee in connection with the Reorganization?

No, you will not pay any sales load, commission or other similar fee in connection with the Reorganization.

Who will pay for the Reorganization?

Shareholders in the Acquired Fund are expected to experience a considerable reduction in the gross and net expense ratio in the Acquiring Fund as a result of the Reorganization. Due to this, the Reorganization related costs will be borne by the Acquired Fund and allocated on a relative net asset value basis to each share class. Management estimates the costs of the Reorganization to be $92,500. Post-Reorganization, it is anticipated that it will take approximately 3 months for a shareholder in the Acquired Fund to recoup the Reorganization related costs in the form of ongoing fund operating expense savings. It is important to note that the Acquired Fund will pay for the Reorganization costs even if the Reorganization is not consummated.

What if I redeem my shares before the Reorganization takes place?

If you choose to redeem your shares before the Reorganization takes place, then the redemption will be treated as a normal sale of shares and, generally, will be a taxable transaction and may be subject to any applicable deferred sales charge.

Why am I being asked to vote?

To proceed with the Reorganization, shareholder approval is required by the vote of a majority of outstanding voting securities (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Acquired Fund. The section of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus titled “Voting Requirements” contains further details.

When will the Reorganization occur?

Assuming the proposal is approved by shareholders, the Reorganization is expected to occur on or about December 14, 2012.

Who should I contact for more information?

You can contact shareholder services at (800) 977-2947.

SUMMARY OF THE PROPOSAL

Proposed Reorganization

After carefully considering the Reorganization proposal, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously approved the Reorganization Agreement on September 28, 2012, subject to shareholder approval. Shareholders of the Acquired Fund are now being asked to approve the Reorganization Agreement.

Subject to the approval of the shareholders of the Acquired Fund, the Reorganization Agreement provides for (i) the transfer of all of the assets, subject to all of the liabilities, of the Acquired Fund to the Acquiring Fund in exchange for shares of the Acquiring Fund having an aggregate net asset value equal to the aggregate net asset value of the shares of the Acquired Fund, (ii) the distribution to shareholders of the Acquired Fund of those shares of the Acquiring Fund, and (iii) the liquidation and termination of the Acquired Fund.

Approval of the Reorganization Agreement will require, if a quorum is present at the Meeting, the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Acquired Fund, which is defined in the 1940 Act as the lesser of (i) 67% or more of the voting securities of the Acquired Fund present at the Meeting, if the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the Acquired Fund are present or represented by proxy, or (ii) more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the Acquired Fund. The section of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus titled “Voting Requirements” contains further details. Shareholders of the Acquired Fund are entitled to one vote for each dollar of net asset value represented by such shareholders’ shares as of the Record Date (as defined below) and a proportionate fractional vote with respect to the remainder of the net asset value of such shares, if any. Shares of all classes will vote together as a single class for the proposal.

The Reorganization is scheduled to be effective after the close of business on December 14, 2012, or on another date as the parties may agree (“Closing Date”). If the Reorganization is approved, shareholders of the Acquired Fund will become shareholders of the Acquiring Fund. Each holder of a class of shares of the Acquired Fund will receive, following the transfer, on a tax-free basis for federal income tax purposes, a number of full and fractional shares of the corresponding class of shares of the Acquiring Fund having an aggregate net asset value equal to the aggregate net asset value of the shareholder’s Acquired Fund shares as of the close of business on the Closing Date.

For the reasons discussed below, the Board of Trustees, including a majority of the Independent Trustees (as defined below), has concluded that the Reorganization would be in the best interests of the shareholders of the Acquired Fund and Acquiring Fund, and that the interests of shareholders of the Acquired Fund and Acquiring Fund would not be diluted as a result of the Reorganization and, therefore, have submitted the Reorganization Agreement for approval to the shareholders of the Acquired Fund.

The Board of Trustees recommends that shareholders of the Acquired Fund vote “FOR” the proposed Reorganization Agreement.

Comparison of Investment Objectives and Principal Investment Strategies

	Acquired Fund	Acquiring Fund
Investment Objective	The Acquired Fund seeks capital appreciation. To a lesser extent, the Acquired Fund seeks current income.	The Acquiring Fund seeks capital appreciation.

Principal Investment Strategies	The Acquired Fund invests primarily in equity securities (typically common stocks) of large capitalization companies (those companies whose total market value is more than $10 billion at the time of purchase) which provide products and services that are consistent with the Praxis stewardship investing core values. The Acquired Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80 percent of its net assets (plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes) in stocks. The Acquired Fund has the flexibility to invest a limited portion of its assets in companies of any size, to invest in companies whose shares may be subject to controversy, to invest in foreign securities, and to invest in securities other than common stock, such as preferred stock, convertible bonds, and other forms of equity securities. Historically, the Acquired Fund has invested a significant portion of its assets in financial services companies.	The Acquiring Fund invests primarily in U.S. equity securities and seeks to reflect the performance of the U.S. large capitalization growth equities market, as measured by the Standard & Poor’s 500 Growth Index, the Acquired Fund’s benchmark index. Under normal circumstances, the Acquiring Fund invests 80 percent of the value of its assets in securities of, and investments related to, issuers in the Acquiring Fund’s benchmark index. Companies that are determined not to meet the Stewardship Investing screens will be excluded. In addition, the Adviser uses optimization techniques to select securities according to their contribution to the Fund’s overall objective and to seek to replicate the characteristics of the benchmark index.

	The Acquired Fund’s Sub-Adviser conducts extensive research to identify well-managed companies with durable business models that can be purchased at attractive valuations relative to their intrinsic value. The Sub-Adviser emphasizes individual stock selection and believes that the ability to evaluate management is critical, routinely visiting managers at their places of business in order to gain insight into the relative value of different businesses. The Sub-Adviser selects securities of durable, well-managed businesses that can be purchased at value prices and held for the long term. The Sub-Adviser considers selling a security if the issuing company no longer exhibits the characteristics that: (i) foster sustainable long-term expansion of earnings; (ii) manage risk; and (iii) enhance the potential for superior long-term returns.

	The Acquired Fund engages in Stewardship Investing.	The Acquiring Fund engages in Stewardship Investing.

Criteria for Socially Responsible Investing and Stewardship Investing Screens. Praxis is a word that refers to a way of joining belief and action. The Adviser believes that it captures the essence of the investment philosophy of the Funds.

The goal of the Funds is to join beliefs with deeds, using the tools of socially responsible investing. The Funds are governed by a philosophy, called Stewardship Investing. It is the Funds' belief that being faithful stewards means using assets God has entrusted to us to promote economic results that are not only productive but also reflect God's values, caring for others as well as all of Creation.

When constructing the Stewardship Investing screens used by the Funds, the Adviser seeks to avoid companies that are deemed inconsistent with the Funds' Stewardship Investing Core Values (see below). Recognizing no company is perfect, the Funds also utilize shareholder advocacy to encourage corporations to be good stewards of their resources, to care for the environment, and to create just work environments while generating long-term value for all stakeholders.

Investments will be screened to attempt to assure that the Funds' investments are socially responsible based upon the Praxis Stewardship Investing Core Values. When a Fund becomes aware that it has invested in a company that may be engaged in an activity which is inconsistent with the Praxis Stewardship Investing Core Values or a Fund's specific Stewardship Investing screens, it may first seek to use its influence to change that activity and may eventually determine to sell its investment. The Funds are not under any strict time schedule to make a decision to sell such investments.

The Praxis Stewardship Investing Philosophy . Stewardship Investing is a philosophy of financial decision-making motivated and informed by social convictions drawn from the 500 year-old Anabaptist-Christian faith tradition. This approach holds in tension a responsibility for the productive use of financial resources and a deep-seated concern for the individuals, communities and environments that are impacted by our investment choices.

To carry out this task, the Funds seek to:

Invest in companies that best reflect a set of positive core values.

Participate actively in corporate decision-making through proxy voting, shareholder advocacy and direct company dialogue, encouraging positive corporate social practices.

Engage in community development investing that widens the doors of economic opportunity by empowering disadvantaged individuals and communities through targeted investments.

Praxis Stewardship Investing Core Values. Both the Acquired Fund and Acquiring Fund strive to invest in companies that reflect certain core social values including:

Respecting the dignity and value of all people;

Building a world at peace and free from violence;

Demonstrating a concern for justice in a global society;

Exhibiting responsible management practices;

Supporting and involving communities;

Practicing environmental stewardship.

Additional information about each Fund’s investment strategies and investment restrictions is provided in Appendix I.

Comparison of Distribution Arrangements, Purchase and Redemption Procedures and Exchange Privileges

The distribution arrangements, available classes, and attributes of each class are the same for both Funds. The purchase and redemption procedures are the same for both Funds. The exchange privileges and related procedures are the same for both Funds. Additional information about distribution arrangements and how to purchase, redeem and exchange shares of the Acquiring Fund is provided in Appendix III.

Comparative Fee Tables and Expenses Examples

The following tables allow a shareholder to compare the sales charges, management fees and expense ratios of the Acquired Fund with those of the Acquiring Fund. You will not have to pay any sales charge on any shares of the Acquiring Fund received in the Reorganization. Annual fund operating expenses are paid by a Fund and include management fees, administrative costs and distribution and shareholder servicing fees, as well as pricing and custody services.

The Shareholder Fees table below describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold shares of the Fund. You may qualify for sales charge discounts if you and your family invest, or agree to invest in the future, at least $50,000 in the Praxis Mutual Funds. More information about these and other discounts is available from your financial professional and in the Appendix III section titled “Sales Charge Reductions” on page 46.

The annual fund operating expenses shown in the table below represent audited expenses from the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 for both the Acquired Fund and Acquiring Fund.

	Core Stock Fund						Growth Index Fund						Growth Index after Transaction (pro forma combined)
	Class A			Class I			Class A			Class I			Class A			Class I

Fee Waiver and/or Expense Reimbursement		None			None			(0.91	)%		None			(0.03	)%		None
Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver and Expense Reimbursement¹		1.61	%		0.91	%		1.10	%		0.50	%		1.10	%		0.49	%

¹The Adviser has entered into a contractual expense limitation agreement with respect to the Growth Index Fund Class A until November 7, 2013. Pursuant to this agreement, the Adviser has agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary in order to limit the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses (excluding AFFE, brokerage costs, interest, taxes, dividends, fees paid to vendors providing fair value pricing and fund compliance services, Trustees fees, legal fees, costs relating to such services and extraordinary expenses) of the Fund to 1.04 percent of the Fund's average daily net assets. The Fund has agreed to repay the Adviser for the amounts waived and/or reimbursed by the Adviser pursuant to this expense limitation agreement provided that such repayment does not cause the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses (excluding AFFE, brokerage costs, interest, taxes, dividends, fees paid to vendors providing fair value pricing and fund compliance services, Trustees fees, legal fees, costs relating to such services and extraordinary expenses) to exceed 1.04 percent, and the repayment is made within three years after the year in which the Adviser waived and/or reimbursed the expense.

* The Reorganization related costs, which are estimated to be $92,500, will be borne by the Core Stock Fund prior to the Reorganization. The effect on the Core Stock Fund’s Class A and Class I expense ratio is an increase in expense of approximately 0.08%. These Reorganization costs are not included in the fee table above.

Expenses Examples. The examples provided below are intended to help you compare the cost of investing in shares of the Acquired Fund with the cost of investing in the Acquiring Fund, and allows you to compare these costs with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. It illustrates the amount of fees and expenses a shareholder would pay at the end of the time periods indicated, assuming the following:

$10,000 investment;

5% annual return; and

no changes in the Fund’s operating expenses.

Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

	1 Year		3 Years		5 Years		10 Years
Core Stock Fund
Class A	$	680	$	1,006	$	1,355	$	2,336

Comparison of Portfolio Turnover

The Acquired Fund and the Acquiring Fund each pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it purchases and sells securities (or “turns over”) its portfolio. A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transactions costs and may result in larger Fund distributions of net realized capital gains, and therefore, higher taxes for shareholders whose Fund shares are held in taxable accounts. These costs, which are not reflected in Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the Expense Examples provided above, affect each Fund’s performance. The Acquired Fund’s portfolio turnover rate during its most recent fiscal year was 14.83 percent of the average value of its portfolio. The Acquiring Fund’s portfolio turnover rate during its most recent fiscal year was 21.18 percent of the average value of its portfolio.

COMPARISON OF PRINCIPAL RISK FACTORS

Both Funds. Both the Acquired Fund and Acquiring Fund are subject to market risk, which means that the value of each Fund’s shares will fluctuate based on market conditions and shareholders could lose money. The value of each Fund’s shares could decline significantly and unexpectedly, based on many factors, including national and international political or economic conditions and general market conditions. Events in the financial markets and in the economy may cause uncertainty and volatility, and may adversely affect performance. Events in one market may impact other markets. Future events may impact a Fund in unforeseen ways. Traditionally liquid investments may experience periods of diminished liquidity. Both funds are also subject to company risk, which is the risk that a Fund’s investments in common stock can vary with the success or failure of the company issuing the stock. Both Funds are also subject to screening risk, which is the risk that the application of social screens to the available universes from which a Fund’s portfolio managers select securities may impact the performance of the Fund relative to unscreened funds following similar investment mandates.

Acquired Fund. Because the Acquired Fund may invest a significant portion of its assets in financial services companies, the Acquired Fund is also subject to financial services risk, which means the Acquired Fund’s value will react to events affecting that sector and the Acquired Fund’s returns may be more volatile than other funds.

Acquiring Fund . Because the Acquiring Fund is designed to track the performance of its benchmark index, securities may be purchased, retained or sold at times when a more actively managed fund would not do so. If the value of securities that are heavily weighted in the index change, there will be a greater risk of loss than if the Fund had a lower weighting to those securities. In addition, the Acquiring Fund does not hold all securities in the index and the performance of the Acquiring Fund may vary substantially from the performance of the index due to imperfect correlation between the Fund’s holdings and the index. This is also known as tracking error. Application of social screens may contribute to tracking error. The Acquiring Fund is also subject to investment style risk, which is the possibility that returns from large capitalization growth stocks will trail returns from other asset classes or the overall stock market. Growth stocks tend to go through cycles of doing better – or worse – than the stock market in general. In the past, these cycles have occasionally persisted for multiple years.

Additional information about risks to which the Acquired Fund and Acquiring Fund are subject is provided in Appendix I in the section titled “Additional Information about Risk Factors.”

COMPARISON OF FUND PERFORMANCE

The bar charts and tables that follow provide some indication of the risk of an investment in the Funds. The bar charts show changes in each Fund’s performance for each calendar year since its inception. The returns in the bar charts do not reflect any applicable sales charges.

Core Stock Fund Class A - Annual Total Return Chart

For the Periods Ended December 31, 2011

Growth Index Fund Class A - Annual Total Return Chart

For the Periods Ended December 31, 2011

The following tables compare the average annual total returns table (before taxes) for the 1-, 5-, 10-year, and since inception periods ended December 31, 2011 for the Praxis Core Stock Fund (Acquired Fund) and the 1-year and since inception periods ended December 31, 2011 for the Praxis Growth Index Fund (Acquiring Fund), as compared with the performance of each Fund’s benchmark index over the periods. They also provide more recent average annual total returns (before taxes) for periods ended June 30, 2012. Performance is based on net expenses during the periods and takes into account fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, if any, that may have been in place. If such waiver and/or reimbursements had not had been in effect, performance would have been lower.

The performance for the benchmark index shown below does not reflect sales charges, expenses or other fees that the SEC requires to be reflected in the Funds’ performance. The benchmark index is unmanaged and, unlike the Acquired Fund and Acquiring Fund, is not affected by cash flows. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

Please note that a Fund’s past performance, before and after taxes, is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future.

The after-tax returns shown were calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates, and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on your tax situation and may differ from those shown. If you hold your Fund shares through a tax-deferred arrangement, such as a 401(k) plan or individual retirement account, the after-tax returns are not relevant.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE PROPOSAL

The Reorganization Agreement

The following summary of the Reorganization Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of Reorganization Agreement, attached to this Proxy Statement/Prospectus as Appendix II. The Reorganization Agreement provides that the Acquiring Fund will acquire all of the assets, subject to all of the liabilities, of the Acquired Fund in exchange for shares of the Acquiring Fund. Subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, the Reorganization transaction is scheduled to occur after the close of business on the Closing Date. The net asset value per share of the Acquired Fund and the net asset value per share of the Acquiring Fund will be determined by dividing the applicable Fund’s assets, less liabilities, by the total number of its outstanding shares on a class-by-class basis. The method of valuation employed will be in accordance with the valuation procedures of the Acquiring Fund (which are identical to those of the Acquired Fund), and are described in the Trust Prospectus and Trust SAI.

The number of full and fractional shares of the Acquiring Fund you will receive in the Reorganization will be equal in aggregate net asset value to the aggregate net asset value of your shares in the Acquired Fund as of the close of business of the NYSE, usually 4:00 p.m. Eastern time, on the Closing Date, on a class-by-class basis. As promptly as practicable after the Closing Date, the Acquired Fund will liquidate and distribute pro rata to its shareholders of record as of the close of business on the Closing Date the shares of the Acquiring Fund received by the Acquired Fund in the Reorganization for each class of shares. The Acquired Fund will accomplish such liquidation and distribution by the transfer of the Acquiring Fund shares then credited to the account of the Acquired Fund onto the books of the Acquiring Fund to open accounts on the share records of the Acquiring Fund in the names of the Acquired Fund’s shareholders. The aggregate net asset value of Acquiring Fund shares to be credited to Acquired Fund shareholders will be equal to the aggregate net asset value of the shares of beneficial interest of the Acquired Fund of the corresponding class owned by Acquired Fund shareholders on the Closing Date. All issued and outstanding shares of the Acquired Fund will simultaneously be canceled on the books of the Acquired Fund. The Acquiring Fund will not issue certificates in connection with the Reorganization. After such distribution, the Acquired Fund will take all necessary steps under Delaware law, its Declaration of Trust and any other applicable law to effect a complete termination of the Acquired Fund.

The Board of Trustees has determined that participation in the Reorganization is in the best interests of each Fund and that the interests of the shareholders of each Fund will not be diluted as a result of the Reorganization.

Because the shareholders in the Acquired Fund are expected to experience a considerable reduction in the gross and net expense ratio as a result of the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund will bear the costs of the Reorganization. It is anticipated that it will take approximately 3 months after the Reorganization for a shareholder in the Acquired Fund to recoup the Reorganization related costs in the form of ongoing Fund operating expense savings.

The Reorganization Agreement may be terminated and the Reorganization may be abandoned at any time prior to the consummation of the Reorganization, before or after approval by the shareholders of the Acquired Fund, if circumstances should develop that, in the Board of Trustees’ opinion, make proceeding with the Reorganization inadvisable. The Reorganization Agreement provides that the Funds may waive compliance with any of the covenants or conditions made therein for the benefit of either Fund, other than the requirements that: (i) the Reorganization Agreement be approved by shareholders of the Acquired Fund; and (ii) the Acquiring Fund and the Acquired Fund receive an opinion from legal counsel that the transactions contemplated by the Reorganization Agreement will constitute a tax-free reorganization for federal income tax purposes.

Description of the Acquiring Fund’s Shares

Full and fractional shares of the Class A and Class I shares of the Acquiring Fund, as applicable, will be issued to the Acquired Fund’s shareholders in accordance with the procedures detailed in the Reorganization Agreement. The Acquiring Fund does not issue share certificates. The shares of the Acquiring Fund to be issued to Acquired Fund shareholders will be recorded on the shareholder records of the transfer agent. The shares of each class of the Acquiring Fund have the same rights as the shares of that class of the Acquired Fund. Each such share will be fully paid and non-assessable when issued and will have no pre-emptive or conversion rights.

Reasons for the Reorganization and Board of Trustees Considerations

As noted above, the proposed Reorganization has been approved by the Board of Trustees and the Board has recommended that shareholders vote in favor of the proposal. The proposed Reorganization was presented for consideration to the Board of Trustees and the Reorganization Agreement was approved at a special meeting on September 28, 2012. The Board of Trustees, including all of the Independent Trustees, determined that (1) the proposed Reorganization would be in the best interests of each Fund, and (2) the proposed Reorganization would not result in the dilution of the interests of either Funds’ shareholders.

In recommending that shareholders approve the Reorganization Agreement, the Board of Trustees considered a number of factors, including the following:

•

the investment objective, strategies, and policies of the Acquired Fund as compared to those of the Acquiring Fund;

•

the effect the Reorganization is estimated to have on annual fund operating expenses, shareholder fees and expenses of the combined Acquiring Fund;

•

the investment performance of the Acquiring Fund as compared with that of the Acquired Fund;

•

the direct and indirect federal income tax consequences of the Reorganization, including the availability of capital loss carryforwards;

•

any potential dilutive effects of the Reorganization; and

•

other options.

In their deliberations, each Trustee may have attributed different weights to the various factors, and no factor alone was considered determinative. The Trustees evaluated all information available to them. The Trustees considered the interests of each Fund separately. The Trustees also took into account those interests of the Acquired Fund that were in common with those of the Acquiring Fund.

The Board of Trustees noted that the principal investment objective of each Fund is to seek capital appreciation, and that the Acquired Fund, to a lesser extent, also seeks current income. The Board of Trustees noted that each Fund invests primarily in U.S. large capitalization companies, although, as reflected in the “Comparison of Investment Objectives and Principal Investment Strategies” section of this Proxy Statement/Prospectus, there are certain differences in the strategies. For example, the Board of Trustees acknowledged that the Acquiring Fund seeks to track the performance of its benchmark index whereas the Acquired Fund has a more actively managed strategy. The Board of Trustees noted that these differences would be disclosed to Acquired Fund shareholders in this Proxy Statement/Prospectus.

The Board of Trustees noted information from the Adviser estimating that the total annual fund operating expenses both on a gross fee basis and net fee basis (after fee waivers and expense reimbursements) for the Acquiring Fund is equal to or less than those expenses for the Acquired Fund in effect immediately prior to the Reorganization for the acquired class.

The Board of Trustees considered that the Acquired Fund was struggling to attract and retain assets due to poor past performance, and that, based on its past performance, it was unlikely that the Acquired Fund would attract assets in the near term sufficient to achieve necessary economies of scale. The Board of Trustees also noted that, as reflected in the tables in the “Comparison of Fund Performance” section of this Proxy Statement/Prospectus, the Acquiring Fund has outperformed the Acquired Fund, for all periods, on an absolute basis and on a relative basis compared to its peers and its benchmark.

The Board of Trustees also noted favorably that the Reorganization would be structured as a federal tax-free transaction. For purposes of federal tax consequences to the Funds and their shareholders, there would be no significant adverse tax consequences for affected shareholders. Additionally, as a result of the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund and its shareholders are not expected to lose the benefit of certain tax losses that may be used to offset or defer the distribution of future gains. Based on data through September 10, 2012, the Reorganization may result in loss limitations and loss forfeitures for the Acquiring Fund. As of December 31, 2011, the Acquired Fund had capital loss carryforwards in the amounts of $9,048,875, $32,345,717, and $3,816,156 which are subject to expiration in 2016, 2017, and 2018, respectively. As of December 31, 2011, the Acquiring Fund had capital loss carryforwards in the amounts of $353,168 and $2,252,765 which are subject to expiration in 2016 and 2017, respectively. Since the Reorganization is not expected to close until the close of business on December 14, 2012, these potential limitations and any forfeitures may change significantly between now and the completion of the Reorganization. Further, a Fund’s ability to use a loss (even in the absence of Reorganization) depends on factors other than the loss limitations, such as future realization of capital gains or losses.

The Board of Trustees concluded that the interests of Acquired Fund shareholders and Acquiring Fund shareholders would not be diluted. In this regard, the Board of Trustees noted that the Funds use the same valuation procedures to calculate their net asset values in accordance with the requirements of the 1940 Act and that the Board of Trustees had determined, in its business judgment, that the Reorganization costs would be allocated fairly.

In addition, the Board of Trustees concluded that proposing the Reorganization was preferable to other options considered, which included renewing the contract with the current investment sub-adviser (that is, “staying the course”), replacing the current investment sub-adviser with a different sub-advisory firm, and liquidating the Acquired Fund and distributing those liquidation proceeds to Acquired Fund shareholders in a taxable transaction.

THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES, INCLUDING THE INDEPENDENT TRUSTEES, UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT SHAREHOLDERS OF THE ACQUIRED FUND APPROVE THE REORGANIZATION AGREEMENT.

Federal Income Tax Consequences

The Reorganization is intended to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a tax-free reorganization described in Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). As a condition to the closing of the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund and Acquiring Fund will receive a legal opinion from Dechert LLP substantially to the effect that for federal income tax purposes:

(1) The transfer of the Acquired Fund’s assets to the Acquiring Fund in exchange for shares of the Acquiring Fund and the assumption of the Acquired Fund’s liabilities, followed by a distribution of those shares to the shareholders of the Acquired Fund and the termination of the Acquired Fund will constitute a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1) of the Code;

(2) No gain or loss will be recognized by the Acquiring Fund upon the receipt of the assets of the Acquired Fund in exchange for shares of the Acquiring Fund and the assumption by the Acquiring Fund of the liabilities of the Acquired Fund;

(3) The basis in the hands of the Acquiring Fund of the assets of the Acquired Fund transferred to the Acquiring Fund in the Reorganization will be the same as the basis of such assets in the hands of the Acquired Fund immediately prior to the transfer;

(4) The holding periods of the assets of the Acquired Fund in the hands of the Acquiring Fund will include the periods during which such assets were held by the Acquired Fund (except where investment activities of the Acquiring Fund have the effect of reducing or eliminating a holding period with respect to an asset);

(5) No gain or loss will be recognized by the Acquired Fund upon the transfer of the Acquired Fund’s assets to the Acquiring Fund in exchange for shares of the Acquiring Fund and the assumption by the Acquiring Fund of the liabilities of the Acquired Fund, or upon the distribution (whether actual or constructive) by the Acquired Fund of shares of the Acquiring Fund to the shareholders of the Acquired Fund in liquidation;

(6) The shareholders of the Acquired Fund will not recognize a gain or loss upon the exchange of their shares of the Acquired Fund solely for shares of the Acquiring Fund as part of the Reorganization;

(7) The aggregate basis of the shares of the Acquiring Fund that the shareholders of the Acquired Fund receive in connection with the Reorganization will be the same as the aggregate basis of their respective shares in the Acquired Fund exchanged therefor;

(8) The holding period for the shares of the Acquiring Fund that a shareholder of the Acquired Fund receives in the Reorganization will include the period for which it held the shares of the Acquired Fund exchanged therefor, provided that on the date of the exchange it held such shares of the Acquired Fund as capital assets.

The opinion will be based on certain factual certifications made by the Acquired Fund and the Acquiring Fund and will also be based on customary assumptions. It is possible that the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) could disagree with counsel’s opinion. Opinions of counsel are not binding upon the IRS or the courts.

Counsel will express no view with respect to the effect of the Reorganization on any transferred assets as to which any unrealized gain or loss is required to be recognized under federal income tax principles (i) at the end of a taxable year or upon termination thereof, or (ii) upon the transfer of such asset regardless of whether such a transfer would otherwise be a non-taxable transaction.

Prior to the closing of the Reorganization, the Acquired Fund will, and the Acquiring Fund may, declare a distribution to shareholders that together with all previous distributions will have the effect of distributing to shareholders all of its investment company taxable income (computed without regard to the deduction for dividends paid) and net realized capital gains (after reduction by any available capital loss carryforwards), if any, through the closing of the Reorganization. These distributions will be taxable to shareholders.

The Acquiring Fund’s ability to carry forward and use pre-Reorganization capital losses of either the Acquiring Fund or the Acquired Fund may be limited. Under Section 381 of the Code, for the taxable year ending after the Closing Date of the Reorganization, only that percentage of the Acquiring Fund’s capital gain net income for such taxable year (excluding capital loss carryforwards) as corresponds to the portion of its year that remains following the Reorganization can be reduced by capital loss carryforwards (including as otherwise limited) of the Acquired Fund. In addition, the loss limitation rules of Sections 382 and 383 of the Code will apply. First, one Fund’s “pre-acquisition losses” (including capital loss carryforwards, net current-year capital losses, and unrealized losses that exceed certain thresholds) cannot be used to offset unrealized gains in another Fund that are “built in” (unrealized) at the time of the Reorganization and that exceed certain thresholds (“non-de minimis built-in gains”) for five calendar years. Second, a portion of a Fund’s pre-acquisition losses may become unavailable to offset any gains at all. Third, any remaining pre-acquisition losses will offset capital gains realized after the Reorganization and this will reduce subsequent capital gain distributions to a broader group of shareholders than would have been the case absent such Reorganization. Therefore, in certain circumstances, former shareholders of a Fund may pay taxes sooner, or pay more taxes, than they would have had the Reorganization not occurred.

In addition, since the shareholders of the Acquired Fund will receive shares of the Acquiring Fund, they will be allocated a proportionate share of any “built-in” (unrealized) gains in the Acquiring Fund’s assets, as well as any taxable gains realized by the Acquiring Fund but not distributed to its shareholders prior to the Reorganization, when such gains are eventually distributed by the Acquiring Fund.

The realized and unrealized gains and losses of each of the Acquired Fund and the Acquiring Fund at the time of the Reorganization will determine the extent to which the combining Funds’ respective losses, both realized and unrealized, will be available to reduce gains realized by the combined Fund following the Reorganization, and consequently the extent to which the combined Fund may be required to distribute gains to its shareholders earlier than would have been the case absent the Reorganization.

The impact of the rules described above will depend on the relative sizes of, and the losses and gains (both realized and unrealized) in, each of the Acquired Fund and the Acquiring Fund at the time of the Reorganization and thus cannot be calculated precisely at this time.

This description of the federal income tax consequences of the Reorganization does not take into account shareholders’ particular facts and circumstances. Consult your own tax advisor about the effect of state, local, foreign, and other tax laws.

Capitalization

Only shareholders of record at the close of business on October 26, 2012 (the “Record Date”) will be entitled to receive notice of, and to vote at, the Meeting.

The following table shows the capitalization of the Acquiring Fund and the Acquired Fund as of June 30, 2012 and on a pro forma basis as of that date, giving effect to the proposed acquisition of assets at net asset value. The following are examples of the number of shares of the Core Stock Fund’s Class A and Class I Shares that would be exchanged for the Class A and Class I Shares of the Growth Index Fund if the Reorganization had been consummated on June 30, 2012, and do not reflect the number or value of such shares that would actually be received if the Reorganization occurs. The pro forma capitalization information is for informational purposes only. No assurance can be given as to how many shares of the Acquiring Fund will be received by shareholders of the Acquired Fund on the Closing Date, and the information should not be relied upon to reflect the number of shares of the Acquiring Fund that actually will be received. The pro forma adjustments to the net assets reflect the cost associated with the Reorganization and for the Class I Shares only, an anticipated redemption that is likely to occur prior to the Reorganization date.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT ACQUIRED FUND AND ACQUIRING FUND

Tax Information about Acquired Fund and Acquiring Fund

Both the Praxis Core Stock Fund (Acquired Fund) and Praxis Growth Index Fund (Acquiring Fund) intend to make distributions that may be taxed as either ordinary income or capital gains except when you hold your Fund shares through a tax-deferred arrangement, such as a 401(k) plan or an individual retirement account. Such tax-deferred arrangements may be taxed later upon withdrawals made from those arrangements.

Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries

If you purchase shares of the Acquired Fund or Acquiring Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the Fund and its related companies may pay the intermediary for the sale of Fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your salesperson or visit your financial intermediary’s website for more information.

Form of Organization

The Acquired Fund and Acquiring Fund are both investment portfolios offered by Praxis Mutual Funds (the “Trust”), an open-end management investment company organized as a Delaware statutory trust that is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest.

Financial Highlights

The financial highlights of the Acquiring Fund are provided in Appendix IV. The financial highlights are intended to help you understand the Acquiring Fund’s financial performance for the past 5 years. Certain information reflects financial results for a single Fund share of each class. The total returns in the tables represent the rate that an investor would have earned (or lost) on an investment in the Acquiring Fund (assuming reinvestment of all dividends and distributions). The information in the financial highlights tables has been audited by Ernst & Young LLP, whose report, along with the Fund’s financial statements is included in the Fund’s annual report, which is incorporated by reference. All unaudited interim financial statements reflect all adjustments which are in the opinion of management, necessary to a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. In addition, all such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

By mail, with the enclosed proxy card

In person at the Meeting

Via the internet

By telephone

To vote by Internet or Telephone

(1) Read the Proxy Statement/Prospectus and have your proxy card at hand.

(2) Call the 1-800 number or go to the website that appears on your proxy card.

(3) Follow the recorded instructions.

We encourage you to vote by Internet or telephone by using the control number that appears on your enclosed proxy card. Use of internet and telephone voting will reduce the time and costs associated with this proxy solicitation.

A shareholder signing and returning a proxy has the power to revoke it at any time before it is exercised: (i) by delivering a written notice of revocation to Praxis Mutual Funds to the address on the cover of this Proxy Statement/Prospectus; (ii) by returning a duly executed proxy with a later date before the time of the Meeting; or (iii) if a shareholder has executed a proxy but is present at the Meeting and wishes to vote in person, by notifying the Secretary of the Fund (without complying with any formalities) at any time before it is voted. Being present at the Meeting alone does not revoke a previously executed and returned proxy. Unless revoked, all valid and executed proxies will be voted in accordance with the specifications thereon or, in the absence of such specifications, FOR approval of the Reorganization Agreement.

Solicitation of Votes . In addition to the mailing of this Proxy Statement/Prospectus, proxies may be solicited by telephone or in person by the Board of Trustees of the Praxis Core Stock Fund: the officers of the Praxis Core Stock Fund, personnel of Everence Capital Management, Inc., personnel of the Praxis Core Stock Fund’s administrator or transfer agent, personnel of the Praxis Core Stock Fund’s distributor, or by broker-dealer firms.

AST Fund Solutions, a professional solicitation firm (the “Solicitor”), has been engaged to assist in the solicitation of proxies, at an estimated cost of approximately $15,000. It is expected that the solicitation will be primarily by mail. As the date of the Meeting approaches, however, certain Praxis Core Stock Fund shareholders may receive telephone calls from a representative of the Solicitor if their votes have not yet been received. Authorization to permit the Solicitor to execute proxies may be obtained by telephonic instructions from shareholders of the Acquired Fund. Proxies that are obtained telephonically will be recorded in accordance with the procedures set forth below. The Trustees believe that these procedures are reasonably designed to ensure that both the identity of the shareholder casting the vote and the voting instructions of the shareholder are accurately determined.

In all cases where a telephonic proxy is solicited, the Solicitor representative is required to ask for each shareholder’s full name and address and to confirm that the shareholder has received the proxy materials in the mail. If the shareholder is a corporation or other entity the Solicitor representative is required to ask for the person’s title and confirmation that the person is authorized to direct the voting of the shares. If the information provided by the person agrees with the information that the Solicitor has, then the Solicitor representative may ask for the shareholder’s instructions on the proposal(s) described within this Proxy Statement/Prospectus. Although the Solicitor representative is permitted to answer questions about the process, he or she is not permitted to recommend to the shareholder how to vote, other than by reading any recommendation set forth in this Proxy Statement/Prospectus. The solicitor will record the shareholder’s instructions on the proxy card.

If a shareholder wishes to participate in the Meeting, but does not wish to give a proxy by telephone, the shareholder may still submit the proxy card originally circulated with this Proxy Statement/Prospectus or attend the Meeting in person.

The Acquired Fund will request broker-dealer firms, custodians, nominees, and fiduciaries to forward proxy material to the beneficial owners of the shares of record. Such broker-dealer firms, custodians, nominees, and fiduciaries may be reimbursed for their reasonable expenses incurred in connection with this proxy solicitation. Additionally, certain officers and representatives of Everence Capital Management, Inc., who will receive no extra compensation for their services, may solicit proxies by telephone, telegram, or personally.

Quorum and Voting Requirements. With regard to the Reorganization proposal, forty-percent (40%) of the shares of the Acquired Fund outstanding on the Record Date, present in person or represented by proxy, constitutes a quorum for the transaction of business with respect to the proposal. Approval of the proposal requires, if a quorum is present at the Meeting, the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Acquired Fund, which is defined in the 1940 Act as the lesser of (i) 67% or more of the voting securities of the Acquired Fund present at the Meeting, if the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the Acquired Fund are present or represented by proxy, or (ii) more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the Acquired Fund. Shareholders of the Acquired Fund are entitled to one vote for each dollar of net asset value represented by such shareholder’s shares as of the Record Date and a proportionate fractional vote with respect to the remainder of the net asset value of such shares, if any. Shares of each class will vote together as a single class on the proposal.

Effect of Broker “Non-Votes” and Abstentions . For purposes of determining the presence of a quorum for transacting business at the Meeting, broker “non-votes” (i.e., proxies from brokers or nominees indicating that such persons have not received instructions from the beneficial owner or other persons entitled to vote shares on a particular matter with respect to which the brokers or nominees do not have discretionary power) and executed proxies marked “abstain” will be treated as shares that are present for quorum purposes but which have not been voted “for” the proposal. Such lack of instructions will have the same effect as that of a vote against approval of the Reorganization Agreement, because approval requires an affirming majority vote.

Control Persons and Principal Holders of Securities

Additional Information about Investment Strategies of Acquired Fund and Acquiring Fund

Acquired Fund Policies and Strategies

The Acquired Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80 percent of its assets in stocks and primarily in undervalued securities of large capitalization companies (those companies having greater than $10 billion in assets at the time of purchase) which, in the Adviser’s view, provide products and services that are consistent with the Praxis stewardship investing core values.

Consistent with the Acquired Fund’s investment objective, the Fund:

	·	invests in the following types of equity securities: common stocks, preferred stocks, securities convertible into common stocks, warrants and any rights to purchase common stocks;

	·	may invest in fixed income securities consisting of corporate notes, bonds and debentures that are rated investment grade at the time of purchase;

	·	may invest in obligations issued or guaranteed by agencies or instrumentalities of the U.S. Government. Certain securities issued by U.S. Government agencies or government-sponsored enterprises may not be guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury. U.S. Treasury instruments may be purchased and deposited with the custodian or respective broker/dealer only to satisfy broker/dealer collateral requirements;

	·	may invest in the securities of foreign issuers and may acquire sponsored and unsponsored American Depositary Receipts and European Depositary Receipts;

	·	may invest in convertible securities, which are securities that are convertible into or exchangeable for common stock;

	·	may engage in repurchase transactions pursuant to which the Fund purchases a security and simultaneously commits to resell that security to the seller (either a bank or a securities dealer) at an agreed-upon price on an agreed-upon date (usually within seven days of purchase); and

may invest in other investment companies.

The Acquired Fund may invest, to a limited extent, in stock index futures contracts. The Fund will not use futures contracts for speculative purposes or as leveraged investments that magnify gains or losses. Reasons for which the Fund may use stock index futures include:

	·	To simulate equity-like returns for the portion of the Fund invested in ECI-Notes; and

To keep cash on hand to meet shareholder redemptions or other needs while simulating full investment in stocks.

I-1

Acquiring Fund Policies and Strategies

Under normal circumstances, the Acquiring Fund invests at least 80 percent of the value of its assets in securities of, and investments related to, issuers in the Fund’s benchmark index. Since investments are subject to screens based on the Praxis Stewardship Investment core values, certain constituents of the benchmark will be excluded.

Consistent with the Acquiring Fund’s investment objective, the Fund:

	·	invests in the following types of equity securities: common stocks, preferred stocks, securities convertible into common stocks, warrants and any rights to purchase common stocks;

	·	may invest in fixed income securities consisting of corporate notes, bonds and debentures that are rated investment grade at the time of purchase;

	·	may invest in obligations issued or guaranteed by agencies or instrumentalities of the U.S. Government. Certain securities issued by U.S. Government agencies or government-sponsored enterprises may not be guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury. U.S. Treasury instruments may be purchased and deposited with the custodian or respective broker/dealer only to satisfy broker/dealer collateral requirements;

	·	may invest in the securities of foreign issuers and may acquire sponsored and unsponsored American Depositary Receipts and European Depositary Receipts;

	·	may invest in convertible securities, which are securities that are convertible into or exchangeable for common stock;

	·	may engage in repurchase transactions pursuant to which the Fund purchases a security and simultaneously commits to resell that security to the seller (either a bank or a securities dealer) at an agreed-upon price on an agreed-upon date (usually within seven days of purchase); and

may invest in other investment companies.

The Acquiring Fund may invest, to a limited extent, in stock index futures contracts. To track its target index, the Fund attempts to remain fully invested in stocks. To help stay fully invested and to reduce transaction costs, the Fund may invest, to a limited extent, in stock index futures. The Fund will not use futures contracts for speculative purposes or as leveraged investments that magnify gains or losses. Reasons for which the Fund may use stock index futures include:

	·	To simulate equity-like returns for the portion of the Fund invested in ECI-Notes; and

To keep cash on hand to meet shareholder redemptions or other needs while simulating full investment in stocks.

The following supplements the investment objectives, policies and risk factors of the Acquired Fund and Acquiring Fund.

Community Development Investing. As set forth in the Prospectus, the Board of Trustees of the Funds has approved the investment of up to 3 percent of each Fund’s assets in community development investments, and, in connection with this, the Funds have received exemptive relief from the SEC that permits certain of these investments to be made through the purchase of variable rate notes issued by an affiliate of the Adviser, Everence Community Investments, Inc. (“ECI”). ECI is a not-for-profit corporation that was organized specifically to promote community development investing, and it seeks to fund its efforts in this area primarily through the sale to investors of interests in certain investment pools that it has established (the “ECI-Notes”).

The ECI program is operated in accordance with a statement of policy (the “ECI Statement of Policy”), which is designed to assure that each community development investment will be evaluated against a consistent set of financial criteria. The ECI-Notes would likely be rated at all times at less than investment grade if they were rated by independent rating organizations and are treated by the Funds as illiquid because there is not expected to be any active secondary market for their purchase. The Funds’ investments in the ECI-Notes are managed by the Adviser.

Objectives — Through ECI and other aspects of its community development investment program, the Adviser is committed to the creative use of market tools as a means to make a direct financial impact on disadvantaged individuals and their communities and, specifically, to assist them in utilizing existing resources of ability and human potential to create long-term sustainability and self-sufficiency. It is a principle of the ECI Statement of Policy that each community development investment will be made in a manner that is consistent with providing the highest possible degree of security within the asset class. In the context of community development investing, this means that ECI will evaluate the financial position and the managerial capability of those community development organizations to whom loans are made to assure that each will be capable of meeting the agreed upon repayment schedules. Still, it is important to know that the ECI-Notes are expected to provide a lower financial return and higher risks than otherwise available to investors from alternative securities, such as U.S. Treasury instruments with similar maturities.

Types of Investments — Under the ECI Statement of Policy, community development investments may be made by ECI in a variety of ways, including through the making of loans, the purchase of debt securities and provision of collateral support and credit enhancements. Certain general criteria that will also be taken into consideration in the selecting of community development investments include: (i) the borrowing organization’s nonprofit status and focus on community development projects; (ii) the organization’s history of conducting itself and its programs in a manner consistent with ECI and the understandings of the Mennonite faith tradition; and (iii) a preference for investment opportunities that benefit Mennonite communities or support efforts of significant concern and interest to the organization’s primary Mennonite constituency. All investments made by ECI must be denominated in U.S. dollars and are expected to be made for terms of between one and five years.

I-3

Factors Relevant to the Analysis of Community Development Investments— The ECI Statement of Policy provides that analysis of prospective community development investments will be focused on both financial and social objectives. From a financial perspective, community development investment opportunities are carefully evaluated in accordance with more traditional investment criteria. For example, prospective investments are analyzed in an effort to ascertain: (i) the risk potential and financial stability of the borrowing organization; (ii) the expertise, experience and stability of management; (iii) the existence and viability of market or business plans; (iv) cash flow, debt-equity ratios, existing collateral (or equity) stakes and other financial indicators; and (v) depth of financial reporting and responsiveness to reporting requests. Also potentially relevant in the analysis is the extent to which the borrowing organization’s sources of support may be diversified (or concentrated) as a result of the investment under consideration. Subject to the criteria above, the rate of return available in connection with a community development investment that may be under consideration by ECI will also be a factor in the selection process. In addition to comparing the rate of return with prevailing interest rates in the marketplace as a whole and anticipated interest rate trends, other factors will be relevant in evaluating the rate of return available in connection with a community development investment. These factors include: (i) the social impact of the specified program and the relevance of the program to the social and financial objectives set forth in the ECI Statement of Policy; (ii) the type of investment involved (e.g., direct loan or credit enhancement); (iii) the amount of the investment to be made; (iv) the rate of interest at which the prospective borrowing organization seeks to repay the lending organization; (v) prevailing interest rates in the marketplace as a whole and anticipated interest rate trends; and (vi) any financial limitations or concerns that may be applicable to ECI’s overall commitment to community development investment, such as type of investments (e.g., direct loan or credit enhancement), geographic distribution and types of community development activities supported as a result of the investment.

Additional Risks – The ECI-Notes offer a rate of return below the then-prevailing market rates, which means they are expected to underperform other fixed income securities in which a Fund otherwise might invest. In addition, the ECI-Notes are considered illiquid and below-investment grade. Illiquid securities may be difficult to sell in the ordinary course at the approximate price at which they are valued. Below-investment grade securities involve a greater risk of default or price decline than higher grade securities.

Temporary Defensive Positions. In the event that the Adviser or the Sub-Adviser, as appropriate determines that current market conditions are not suitable for the typical investments of a Fund, the Adviser or the Sub-Adviser, as appropriate may instead, for temporary defensive purposes during such unusual market conditions, invest all or any portion of the Fund's assets in money market instruments and repurchase agreements.

I-4

Additional Information about Risk Factors

The Acquired Fund and Acquiring Fund are also generally subject to the following risks, in varying degrees:

Market Risk: Market risk refers to the risk related to investments in securities in general and the daily fluctuations in the securities markets. The Funds’ performance per share will change daily based on many factors, including fluctuation in interest rates, the quality of the instruments in each Fund's investment portfolio, national and international political or economic conditions and general market conditions. Events in the financial markets and in the economy may cause uncertainty and volatility, and may adversely impact performance. Events in one market may impact other markets. Future events may impact a Fund in unforeseen ways. Traditionally liquid investments may experience periods of diminished liquidity.

Interest Rate Risk: Interest rate risk refers to the risk that the value of the Funds’ fixed income securities can change in response to changes in prevailing interest rates causing volatility and possible loss of value as rates increase.

Credit Risk: Credit risk refers to the risk related to the credit quality of the issuer of a security held in a Fund's portfolio. The Funds could lose money if the issuer of a security is unable to meet its financial obligations.

Company Risk: Company risk refers to the risk that the market value of the Fund’s investments in common stock can vary with the success or failure of the company issuing the stock. Many factors can negatively affect a particular company's stock price, such as poor earnings reports, loss of major customers, major litigation against the company or changes in government regulations affecting the company or its industry. The success of the companies in which a Fund invests largely determines the Fund’s long-term performance.

Financial Services Risk: Financial services risk refers to the risk of investing a significant portion of a Fund's assets in the financial services sector. Examples of financial services companies include: banks, brokerage firms and insurance companies. Risks of investing in the financial services sector include: (i) Regulatory Actions: financial services companies may suffer a setback if regulators change the rules under which they operate; (ii) Changes in interest rates: unstable interest rates, and/or rising interest rates, can have a disproportionate effect on the financial services sector; (iii) Un-diversified loan portfolios: financial services companies whose securities a Fund purchases may themselves have concentrated portfolios, such as a high level of loans to real estate developers, which makes them vulnerable to economic conditions that affect that industry; and (iv) Competition: the financial services sector has become increasingly competitive.

Headline Risk: Headline risk refers to the risk that publicity may adversely affect the value of an investment. When consistent with a Fund's investment strategy, investment selections may include companies with expanding earnings at value prices. A Fund may make such investments when a company becomes the center of controversy after receiving adverse media attention. While portfolio managers research companies subject to such contingencies, they cannot be correct every time, and the company's stock may never recover.

Investment Style Risk: A fund may be subject to growth style risk, value style risk, or both depending upon the investment strategy and techniques used to manage the fund. Growth investing seeks to identify companies that will experience rapid earnings growth relative to value or other types of stocks. Value investing seeks to identify companies that are determined to be trading at prices below their intrinsic worth. A fund that emphasizes one style will underperform funds that use other styles over certain periods when that style is out of favor or does not respond as positively to market or other events.

I-5

Selection Risk: Selection risk refers to the risk that the securities selected for the Funds may underperform broader markets or other funds with similar investment objectives and strategies.

Screening Risk: The application of social screens to the available universes from which the Funds’ portfolio managers select securities may impact the performance of the funds relative to unscreened portfolios following similar investment mandates. Funds applying social screens may be adversely affected by certain economic and investment environments which may prevail for several years in a row. There may also be environments that benefit social investors because certain underperforming sectors and industries are excluded from purchase.

Potential CFTC Regulation Risk: The Praxis Funds have claimed an exclusion from the definition of “commodity pool operator” under the Commodity Exchange Act (“CEA”) and, therefore, are not subject to registration or regulation as a commodity pool operator under the CEA. The CFTC has adopted certain rule amendments that may significantly affect the exemptions available to the Praxis Funds, and may subject one or more Praxis Funds, as well as the Adviser or a Sub-Adviser, to regulation by the CFTC. These amendments are not yet effective and their scope of application is still uncertain. If a Fund operates subject to CFTC regulation, it may incur additional expenses or alter its investment strategies.

Comparison of Fundamental and Non-Fundamental Investment Restrictions

The fundamental investment restrictions (that is, restrictions that require shareholder approval to change) are the same for the Acquired Fund and Acquiring Fund. The non-fundamental investment restrictions are the same with one exception: the Acquired Fund is permitted to engage in short sales “against the box” and the Acquiring Fund is not permitted to engage in any type of short sales.

PRAXIS MUTUAL FUNDS

FORM OF
AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION

THIS AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION (“Agreement”) is made as of this ___ day of ___________, 2012, by Praxis Mutual Funds, a Delaware statutory trust (the “Trust”), on behalf of Praxis Growth Index Fund (the “Acquiring Fund”) and Praxis Core Stock Fund (the “Acquired Fund”).

WHEREAS, each of the Acquired Fund and the Acquiring Fund is a series of the Trust, an open-end, investment company of the management type registered pursuant to the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”);

WHEREAS, the contemplated reorganization and liquidation will consist of (1) the sale, assignment, conveyance, transfer and delivery of all of the property and assets of the Acquired Fund to the Acquiring Fund in exchange solely for shares of beneficial interest of the Acquiring Fund (“Acquiring Fund Shares”) corresponding to the outstanding shares of beneficial interest of the Acquired Fund (“Acquired Fund Shares”), as described herein, (2) the assumption by the Acquiring Fund of all liabilities of the Acquired Fund and (3) the distribution of the Acquiring Fund Shares to the Shareholders of the Acquired Fund in complete liquidation of the Acquired Fund, as provided herein (“Reorganization”), all upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth in this Agreement;

WHEREAS, the Trustees of the Trust have determined that the sale, assignment, conveyance, transfer and delivery of all of the property and assets of the Acquired Fund for Acquiring Fund Shares and the assumption of all liabilities of the Acquired Fund by the Acquiring Fund is in the best interests of the Acquiring Fund, and that the interests of the existing Shareholders of the Acquiring Fund would not be diluted as a result of these transactions; and

WHEREAS, the Trustees of the Trust have determined that the sale, assignment, conveyance, transfer and delivery of all of the property and assets of the Acquired Fund for Acquiring Fund Shares and the assumption of all liabilities of the Acquired Fund by the Acquiring Fund is in the best interests of the Acquired Fund and that the interests of the existing Shareholders of the Acquired Fund would not be diluted as a result of these transactions;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto covenant and agree as follows:

REORGANIZATION

1.1.

Subject to requisite approvals and the other terms and conditions herein set forth and on the basis of the representations and warranties contained herein, the Acquired Fund agrees to sell, assign, convey, transfer and deliver all of its property and assets, as set forth in paragraph 1.2, to the Acquiring Fund, and the Acquiring Fund agrees in exchange therefor (a) to deliver to the Acquired Fund a number of full and fractional shares of beneficial interest of the Acquiring Fund of the respective class (the “Merger Shares”) set forth on Schedule A having an aggregate net asset value equal to the value of the properties and assets of the Acquired Fund attributable to the shares of the Acquired Fund on such date less the value of the liabilities of the Acquired Fund attributable to those shares of the Acquired Fund as of the time and date set forth in paragraph 3.1, determined by dividing the value of the Acquired Fund’s net assets (computed in the manner and as of the time and date set forth in paragraph 2.1) by the net asset value of one share of Acquiring Fund Shares (computed in the manner and as of the time and date set forth in paragraph 2.2); and (b) to assume all liabilities of the Acquired Fund, as set forth in paragraph 1.3. Such transactions shall take place on the date of the closing provided for in paragraph 3.1 (“Closing Date”).

II-1

1.2.

The property and assets of the Acquired Fund to be sold, assigned, conveyed, transferred and delivered to the Acquiring Fund shall consist of all assets and property, including, without limitation, all rights, cash, securities, commodities and futures interests and dividends or interests receivable that are owned by the Acquired Fund and any deferred or prepaid expenses shown as an asset on the books of the Acquired Fund on the Valuation Date as defined in paragraph 2.1 (collectively, “Assets”). The Acquired Fund will sell, assign, convey, transfer and deliver to the Acquiring Fund any rights, stock dividends, or other securities received by the Acquired Fund after the Closing Date as stock dividends or other distributions on or with respect to the property and assets transferred, which rights, stock dividends, and other securities shall be deemed included in the property and assets transferred to the Acquiring Fund at the Closing Date and shall not be separately valued, in which case any such distribution that remains unpaid as of the Closing Date shall be included in the determination of the value of the assets of the Acquired Fund acquired by the Acquiring Fund.

1.3.

The Acquired Fund will make reasonable efforts to discharge all of its known liabilities and obligations prior to the Valuation Date (as defined in paragraph 2.1). The Acquiring Fund shall assume all of the liabilities of the Acquired Fund, whether accrued or contingent, known or unknown, existing at the Valuation Date (collectively, “Liabilities”). On or as soon as practicable prior to the Closing Date, the Acquired Fund will declare and pay to its Shareholders of record one or more dividends and/or other distributions so that it will have distributed substantially all (and in no event less than 98%) of its investment company taxable income (computed without regard to any deduction for dividends paid) and realized net capital gain, if any, for the current taxable year through the Closing Date.

1.4.

Immediately following the actions contemplated by paragraph 1.1, the Trust shall take such actions necessary to complete the liquidation of the Acquired Fund. To complete the liquidation, the Trust, on behalf of the Acquired Fund, shall (a) distribute to Shareholders of the Acquired Fund of record as of the Closing Date (“Acquired Fund Shareholders”), on a pro rata basis, the Acquiring Fund Shares received by the Trust, on behalf of the Acquired Fund, pursuant to paragraph 1.1 and (b) completely liquidate. Such liquidation shall be accomplished, with respect to the Acquired Fund Shares, by the transfer of the corresponding Acquiring Fund Shares then credited to the account of the Acquired Fund on the books of the Acquiring Fund to open accounts on the share records of the Acquiring Fund in the names of the Acquired Fund Shareholders. The aggregate net asset value of Acquiring Fund Shares to be so credited to Acquired Fund Shareholders shall be equal to the aggregate net asset value of the Acquired Fund Shares owned by Acquired Fund Shareholders on the Closing Date. All issued and outstanding Acquired Fund Shares will be canceled on the books of the Acquired Fund. The Acquiring Fund shall not issue certificates representing Acquiring Fund Shares in connection with such exchange.

1.5.

Ownership of Acquiring Fund Shares will be shown on the books of the Acquiring Fund’s transfer agent.

1.6.

Any reporting responsibility of the Acquired Fund, including but not limited to the responsibility for filing regulatory reports, tax returns, or other documents with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”), any state securities commission, and any federal, state or local tax authorities or any other relevant regulatory authority, is and shall remain the responsibility of the Acquired Fund.

VALUATION

II-2

2.1.

The value of the Assets of the Acquired Fund shall be determined as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), usually 4:00 p.m. Eastern time, and after the declaration of any dividends by the Acquired Fund, on the Closing Date (such time and date being hereinafter called the “Valuation Date”), computed using the valuation procedures which the Acquiring Fund would use in determining the fair market value of its assets and liabilities.

2.2.

Except as has been fully disclosed to the Acquiring Fund in Schedule 4.1 to this Agreement, the Trust, on behalf of the Acquired Fund, represents and warrants as follows:

The Acquired Fund is duly established as a series of the Trust, which is a statutory trust duly organized, existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, with power under its Certificate of Trust and Agreement and Declaration of Trust (collectively, the “Charter”), as amended, to own all of its Assets and to carry on its business as it is being conducted as of the date hereof. The Trust is not required to qualify as a foreign trust or association in any jurisdiction, except for any jurisdiction in which it has so qualified or in which a failure to so qualify would not have a material adverse effect. The Trust has all necessary federal, state and local authorization to carry on its business as now being conducted and to fulfill the terms of this Agreement, except as set forth in paragraph 4.1.

(b)

The Trust is a registered investment company classified as a management company of the open-end type, and its registration with the Commission as an investment company under the 1940 Act, and the registration of the Acquired Fund Shares under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“1933 Act”), is in full force and effect.

(c)

No consent, approval, authorization, or order of any court or governmental authority is required for the consummation by the Acquired Fund of the transactions contemplated herein, except such as may be required under the 1933 Act, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“1934 Act”), the 1940 Act, state securities laws and the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act.

(d)

The current prospectus and statement of additional information of the Acquired Fund conforms in all material respects to the applicable requirements of the 1933 Act and the 1940 Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder and does not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not materially misleading.

(e)

On the Closing Date, the Acquired Fund will have good and marketable title to the Assets and full right, power, and authority to sell, assign, convey, transfer and deliver such Assets hereunder free of any liens or other encumbrances, and upon delivery and payment for the Assets, the Acquiring Fund will acquire good and marketable title thereto, subject to no restrictions on the full transfer thereof, including such restrictions as might arise under the 1933 Act.

II-4

(f)

The Acquired Fund is not engaged currently, and the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement will not result in, (i) a material violation of the Charter or by-laws of the Trust, as applicable, or of any agreement, indenture, instrument, contract, lease or other undertaking to which the Trust, on behalf of the Acquired Fund, is a party or by which it is bound, or (ii) the acceleration of any material obligation, or the imposition of any material penalty, under any agreement, indenture, instrument, contract, lease, judgment or decree to which the Trust, on behalf of the Acquired Fund, is a party or by which it is bound.

(g)

All material contracts or other commitments of the Acquired Fund (other than this Agreement, contracts listed in Schedule 4.1 and certain investment contracts, including options, futures, and forward contracts) will terminate without liability to the Acquired Fund on or prior to the Closing Date. Each contract listed in Schedule 4.1 is a valid, binding and enforceable obligation of each party thereto (assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the other party thereto) and the assignment by the Acquired Fund to the Acquiring Fund of each such contract will not result in the termination of such contract, any breach or default thereunder or the imposition of any penalty thereunder.

(h)

No litigation or administrative proceeding or investigation of or before any court or governmental body is presently pending or, to the Trust’s knowledge, threatened against the Acquired Fund or any of the Acquired Fund’s properties or assets, that, if adversely determined, would materially and adversely affect its financial condition or the conduct of its business. The Trust, on behalf of the Acquired Fund, knows of no facts which might form the basis for the institution of such proceedings and is not a party to or subject to the provisions of any order, decree or judgment of any court or governmental body which materially and adversely affects its business or its ability to consummate the transactions herein contemplated.

(i)

The Statement of Assets and Liabilities, Statements of Operations and Changes in Net Assets, and Schedule of Investments of the Acquired Fund at December 31, 2011, have been audited by Ernst & Young LLP, Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, and are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) consistently applied.

For the purposes of this subparagraph (j), a decline in net asset value per share of Acquired Fund Shares due to declines in market values of securities held by the Acquired Fund, the discharge of Acquired Fund liabilities, or the redemption of Acquired Fund Shares by Shareholders of the Acquired Fund shall not constitute a material adverse change.

With respect to the Reorganization, the parties shall have received an opinion of Dechert LLP dated the Closing Date, substantially to the effect that for federal income tax purposes: (a) The transfer of the Acquired Fund’s Assets to the Acquiring Fund in exchange for Acquiring Fund Shares and the assumption of the Acquired Fund’s Liabilities, followed by a distribution of those shares to the shareholders of the Acquired Fund and the termination of the Acquired Fund will constitute a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1) of the Code; (b) No gain or loss will be recognized by the Acquiring Fund upon the receipt of the Assets of the Acquired Fund in exchange for Acquiring Fund Shares and the assumption by the Acquiring Fund of the Liabilities of the Acquired Fund; (c) The Acquiring Fund’s tax basis in the Assets of the Acquired Fund acquired by the Acquiring Fund in the Reorganization will be the same as the tax basis of such Assets in the hands of the Acquired Fund immediately prior to the Reorganization; (d) The holding periods of the Assets of the Acquired Fund in the hands of the Acquiring Fund will include the periods during which such Assets were held by the Acquired Fund (except where investment activities of the Acquiring Fund have the effect of reducing or eliminating a holding period with respect to an Asset); (e) No gain or loss will be recognized by the Acquired Fund upon the transfer of its Assets to the Acquiring Fund in exchange for Acquiring Fund Shares and the assumption by the Acquiring Fund of the Liabilities of the Acquired Fund, or upon the distribution (whether actual or constructive) of Acquiring Fund Shares by the Acquired Fund to the shareholders of the Acquired Fund in liquidation; (f) The shareholders of the Acquired Fund will not recognize a gain or loss upon the exchange of their shares of the Acquired Fund for Acquiring Fund Shares; (g) The aggregate tax basis of Acquiring Fund Shares that the shareholders of the Acquired Fund receive in connection with the Reorganization will be the same as the aggregate tax basis of their respective shares in the Acquired Fund exchanged therefor; (h) The holding period for the shares of the Acquiring Fund that a shareholder of the Acquired Fund receives in the Reorganization will include the period during which the Acquired Fund Shares exchanged therefor were held by such shareholder, provided that on the date of the exchange it held such Acquired Fund Shares as capital assets. Dechert LLP will express no view with respect to the effect of the transaction on any transferred Asset as to which any unrealized gain or loss is required to be recognized under federal income tax principles (a) at the end of a taxable year or upon the termination thereof, or (b) upon the transfer of such Asset regardless of whether such a transfer would otherwise be a non-taxable transaction. The opinion will be subject to receipt of and based on certain factual certifications made by officers of the Acquiring Fund and the Acquired Fund and will also be based on customary assumptions. It is possible that the Internal Revenue Service could disagree with Dechert LLP’s opinion. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, neither the Acquiring Fund nor the Acquired Fund may waive the conditions set forth in this paragraph 8.5.

Appendix III

How to Do Business with the Acquiring Fund and Shareholder Information

Purchase and Sale of Fund Shares

You can buy, sell (redeem) or exchange shares of both the Praxis Core Stock Fund (Acquired Fund) and/or Praxis Growth Index Fund (Acquiring Fund), either through a financial professional or directly from the Fund, on any day that the New York Stock Exchange is open. The share price is based on the Fund’s net asset value, determined after receipt of your request in good order.

Pricing of Fund Shares

How NAV is calculated. The NAV is calculated by adding the total value of a Fund’s investments and other assets, subtracting its liabilities and then dividing that figure by the number of outstanding shares of the Fund:

NAV = (Total Assets – Liabilities)

Number of Shares Outstanding

Per share net asset value (NAV) for each Fund is determined and its shares are priced at the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange, normally at 4 p.m. Eastern Time on days the Exchange is open.

Your order for purchase, sale or exchange of shares is priced at the next determined offering price, which is NAV plus any applicable sales charge as noted in the section on “Distribution Arrangements/Sales Charges” calculated after your order is received in good order.

Each Fund’s securities, other than short-term debt obligations, are generally valued at current market prices. If market quotations are not available, prices will be based on fair value as determined by a method approved by the Funds’ Trustees. Due to the subjective and variable nature of fair value pricing, it is possible that the fair value determined for a particular security may be materially different from the value realized upon such security’s sale. Debt obligations with remaining maturities of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost.

A business day for the Funds is generally a day that the New York Stock Exchange is open for business. The Exchange and the Funds will not open on the following holidays: New Year’s Day, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Presidents’ Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas Day.

Minimum Investments per Fund

Account Type	Initial Investment		Subsequent Investment

Class A
Non-Retirement	$	2,500	$	100
Retirement	$	2,500	$	100
Automatic Investment Plan	$	100	$	100
Class I	$	100,000		N/A

For Class A shares, the initial investment minimum requirements will be waived:

if you establish an automatic investment plan equal to the subsequent investment minimum;

you are contributing to a 403(b), SEP-IRA and SIMPLE IRA accounts.

An annual account fee of $25 will be assessed in July to each Fund that falls below $5,000 for any reason, including market fluctuation. Certain exceptions may apply.

The initial investment minimum for Class I shares generally is $100,000. There is no minimum requirement for subsequent investments in a Fund Class I shares. The Fund may waive investment minimums for certain investors.

You may purchase the Funds directly or through investment representatives, who may charge additional fees and may require higher minimum investments or impose other limitations on buying and selling shares. BHIL Distributors, Inc. (“BHIL” or the “Distributor”) has relationships with certain brokers and other financial intermediaries who are authorized to accept, or designate intermediaries to accept, purchase and redemption orders for the Funds (the “Authorized Broker Dealer”). If you purchase through such a broker, your order will be priced at NAV next determined after your broker or its designated intermediary receives it in good order. Contact your investment representative to determine whether they have an established relationship with the Distributor. If you purchase shares through an investment representative, that party is responsible for transmitting orders by 4 p.m. Eastern Time and may have an earlier cut-off time for purchase and sale requests. Such investment representatives may designate other entities to receive purchase and redemption orders on behalf of the Funds. Consult your investment representative for specific information.

All checks must be in U.S. Dollars drawn on a domestic bank. The Funds will not accept payment in cash or money orders. The Funds also do not accept cashier’s checks in amounts of less than $10,000, nor post dated checks, post dated on-line bill pay checks, or any conditional order or payment. To prevent check fraud, the Funds will not accept third party checks, Treasury checks, credit card checks, traveler’s checks or starter checks for the purchase of shares.

The transfer agent will charge a $25 fee against a shareholder’s account, in addition to any loss sustained by the Funds, for any payment that is returned. It is the policy of the Funds not to accept applications under certain circumstances or in amounts considered disadvantageous to shareholders. The Funds reserve the right to reject any application. A Fund may waive its minimum purchase requirement.

III-1

Customer Identification Program

To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each person who opens an account and to determine whether such person's name appears on government lists of known or suspected terrorists and terrorist organizations. When you open a new account to buy shares of the Funds, the Funds or your investment representative will ask your name, address, date of birth, taxpayer identification or other government identification number and other information that will allow the Funds to identify you. If the Funds or your investment representative are unable to adequately identify you within the time frames set forth in the law, your shares may be automatically redeemed. If the net asset value per share has decreased since your purchase, you will lose money as a result of this redemption. In the event of fraud or wrongdoing, your assets will not be redeemable, and the account will be frozen.

Avoid 28 Percent Tax Withholding

The Funds are required to withhold 28 percent of taxable dividends, capital gains distributions and redemptions paid to shareholders who have not provided the Fund with their certified taxpayer identification number in compliance with IRS rules. To avoid this, make sure you provide your correct Tax Identification Number (Social Security Number for most investors) on your account application.

By Overnight Service

Electronic Purchases

Unless the telephone options were declined on the account application, investors may purchase additional shares of the Funds by calling (800) 977-2947. If you accepted this option on your account application, submitted a voided check to establish your bank information, and your account has been open for at least 15 days, telephone orders will be accepted via electronic funds transfer from your bank account through the Automated Clearing House (ACH) network. Your bank must be a member of the ACH network, and you must have banking information established on your account prior to making a purchase. If your order is received prior to 4 p.m. Eastern time, your shares will be purchased at the applicable price calculated on the day your order is placed.

Telephone trades must be received by or prior to market close. During periods of high-market activity, shareholders may encounter higher than usual call waits. Please allow sufficient time to place your telephone transaction. Once a telephone transaction has been placed, it cannot be canceled or modified.

Electronic vs. Wire Transfer

Wire transfers allow financial institutions to send funds to each other, almost instantaneously. With an electronic purchase or sale, the transaction is made through the Automated Clearing House (ACH). ACH transactions usually clear within two to three days, but may take up to eight days to clear. When an electronic purchase is made through the ACH, it may be subject to a three day escrow hold.

By Wire Transfer

Note: Your bank may charge a wire transfer fee.

III-3

For initial investment:

If you are making your first investment in the Funds, before you wire funds, the transfer agent must have a completed account application. You may mail, fax, or overnight delivery your account application to the transfer agent. Upon receipt of your completed account application, the transfer agent will establish an account for you and a customer service representative will contact you with the account number and wire instructions. Your bank must include both the name of the Fund you are purchasing, the account number, and your name so that monies can be correctly applied. Your bank may charge a wire transfer fee. Please call (800) 977-2947 to advice the Transfer Agent of your intent to wire funds. This will help ensure proper credit upon receipt of your wire.

Wired funds must be received prior to 4:00p.m. Eastern time to be eligible for same day pricing. The Fund and U.S. Bank, N.A. are not responsible for the consequences of delays resulting from the banking or Federal Reserve wire system, or from incomplete wiring instructions.

Automatic Investment Plan

You can make automatic investments in the Praxis Class A shares from your bank account.

The Everence Money Market Account is an option provided by the Adviser and made available to Fund shareholders; it is not a Praxis Mutual Fund and is not offered or sponsored by the Praxis Funds. Urban Partnership Bank reimburses the Adviser for expenses related to offering the Everence Money Market Account.

III-4

Dividends and Distributions

All dividends and distributions will be automatically reinvested unless you request otherwise. There are no sales charges for reinvested distributions. Capital gains are distributed at least annually.

Distributions are made on a per share basis regardless of how long you've owned your shares. Therefore, if you invest shortly before the distribution date, some of your investment will be returned to you in the form of a distribution.

Withdrawing Money from your Fund Investment

As a mutual fund shareholder, you are technically selling shares when you request a withdrawal in cash. This is known as redeeming shares or a redemption of shares. A redemption fee may apply to shares held less than 30 days. See “Market Timing and Excessive Trading – Redemption Fee” below.

III-5

Selling Your Shares

You may sell your shares at any time. Your sales price will be the next NAV after your sell order is received by the Fund’s transfer agent. Your proceeds will be reduced by any applicable redemption fee. Payment for shares redeemed will typically be made on the business day following the redemption of shares but the Funds reserve the right to send proceeds no later than the seventh calendar day after receipt of the redemption request.

Instructions for Selling Shares

Withdrawing Money from Your Fund Investment

Automatic Withdrawal Plan

You may redeem your Praxis Class A shares through the Systematic Withdrawal Plan. Under the Plan, you may choose to receive a specified dollar amount, generated from the redemption of shares in your account, on a monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual basis. Each payment should be a minimum of $50. If you elect this method of redemption, the Fund will send a check to your address of record, or will send the payment via electronic funds transfer through the Automated Clearing House (ACH) network, directly to your bank account.

III-6

For payment through the ACH network, your bank must be an ACH member and your bank account information must be maintained on your Fund account. This Program may be terminated at any time by the Funds. You may also elect to terminate your participation in this Plan at any time by contacting the Transfer Agent five days in advance of the next withdrawal.

A withdrawal under the Plan involves a redemption of shares and may result in a gain or less for federal income tax purposes. In addition, if the amount withdrawn exceeds the dividends credited to your account, the account ultimately may be depleted.

General Policies on Selling Shares

Redemptions in Writing Required

You must request redemptions in writing in the following situations:

Redemptions from Individual Retirement Account (“IRAs”), 403(b) accounts and other retirement plans.

The following circumstances require that your request to sell shares be made in writing accompanied by an original signature guarantee to help protect against fraud. Signature guarantees will generally be accepted from domestic banks, brokers, dealers, credit unions, national securities exchanges, registered securities associations, clearing agencies and savings associations, as well as from participants in the New York Stock Exchange Medallion Signature Program and the Securities Transfer Agents Medallion Program (“STAMP”). A notary public is not an acceptable signature guarantor.

A signature guarantee is required to redeem shares in the following situations:

If ownership is being changed on your account;

When redemption proceeds are payable or sent to any person, address or bank account not on record;

If a change of address was received by the Transfer Agent within the last 30 days; or

For all redemptions in excess of $50,000 from any shareholder account.

In addition to the situations described above, the Fund(s) and/or the Transfer Agent reserve the right to require a signature guarantee in other instances based on the circumstances relative to the particular situation. Non-financial transactions including establishing or modifying certain services on an account, may require a signature guarantee, signature verification from a Signature Validation Program member, or other acceptable form of authentication from a financial institution source.

Verifying Telephone Redemptions

The Fund makes every effort to ensure that telephone redemptions are only made by authorized shareholders. All telephone calls are recorded for your protection and you will be asked for information to verify your identity. Given these precautions, unless you have specifically indicated on your application that you do not want the telephone redemption feature, you may be responsible for any fraudulent telephone orders. If appropriate precautions have been taken, the Transfer Agent will not be liable for losses due to unauthorized transactions.

Redemptions within 15 Days of Shares Purchased by Check

When you have made your investment by check, you cannot redeem any portion until the Transfer Agent is satisfied that the check has cleared (which may require up to 15 days). You can avoid this delay by purchasing shares with a bank wire. Certified checks are also subject to a 15-day escrow hold.

Delayed Redemption Request

Payment for shares may be delayed under extraordinary circumstances or as permitted by the SEC in order to protect remaining shareholders.

III-7

Redemption in Kind

The Trust reserves the right to make payment in securities rather than cash, known as “redemption in kind”. This could occur under extraordinary circumstances, such as a very large redemption that could affect Trust operations (for example, more than 1 percent of a Fund's net assets). Each of the Funds has made an election pursuant to Rule 18f-1 under the 1940 Act. This election requires that the Funds redeem shares solely in cash up to the lesser of $250,000 or 1 percent of the net asset value of the Fund during any 90 day period for any one shareholder. If the Fund deems it advisable for the benefit of all shareholders, redemption in kind will consist of securities equal in market value to your shares. When you convert these securities to cash, you will pay brokerage charges.

Undeliverable Dividend Distribution, Capital Gain and Redemption Checks

For any shareholder who chooses to receive dividend and/or capital gain distributions in cash, if the dividend distribution and/or capital gain checks: (1) are returned and marked as “undeliverable”; or (2) remain uncashed for six months, your account will be changed automatically so that all future dividend and/or capital gain distributions are reinvested in your account. Additionally, all dividend distributions, capital gain distributions and redemption checks that remain uncashed for six months will be canceled and the money reinvested in the shareholder's account at the current NAV.

Fee for Short-Term Redemptions or Exchanges

A 2.00 percent redemption fee is generally imposed on redemptions and exchanges within 30 days of purchase. See “Market Timing and Excessive Trading – Redemption Fee” below.

Closing of Small Accounts

Class A Shares - If your Praxis Fund account falls below $2,500 for any reason, the Fund may ask you to increase your balance. If 60 days after notification your account balance is still below $2,500, the Fund may notify you and close your account and send you the proceeds at the current NAV.

If your Praxis Genesis Portfolio account falls below $1,000 for any reason, the Fund may ask you to increase your balance. If 60 days after notification your account balance is still below $1,000, the Fund may notify you and close your account and send you the proceeds at the current NAV.

Class I Shares - If your Fund account falls below $100,000 for any reason, the Fund may ask you to increase your balance. If 60 days after notification your account balance is still below $100,000, the Fund may notify you and close your account and send you the proceeds at the current NAV.

Annual Account Fee

If the value of your Praxis Class A shares account falls below $5,000 for any reason, including market fluctuation, you may be subject to a $25 annual account fee on each Fund you own that has a balance below $5,000. The annual account fee applies to both retirement and nonretirement accounts and may be assessed in all Praxis Funds, regardless of a Fund’s minimum investment amount.

Example: You own the Praxis Core Stock and the Praxis Growth Index Fund. Each Fund has a balance of $2,500. Because both Funds have less than the required minimum balance, $25 will be deducted from both the Praxis Core Stock and Praxis Growth Index Fund. Consolidating your investments from these two Funds into one Fund would allow you to reach the minimum whereby no annual fee would be charged. You can also avoid this annual fee by converting your Funds into the Praxis Genesis Portfolios (offered by a separate prospectus).

III-8

The fee, which will be collected by redeeming fund shares in the amount of $25, will be deducted from a fund account in July each year and is used to contractually reduce the fee paid by the Trust to the Transfer Agent for its services.

Shares held through an omnibus account or wrap-fee program for which a Fund has waived investment minimums, and accounts held through financial intermediaries are not subject to this requirement.

Account Inactivity

It is important that the Funds maintain a correct address for each investor. An incorrect address may cause an investor’s account statements and other mailings to be returned to the Funds. Based upon statutory requirements for returned mail, the Funds will attempt to locate the investor or rightful owner of the account. If the Funds are unable to locate the investor, then they will determine whether the investor’s account can legally be considered abandoned. The Funds are legally obligated to escheat (or transfer) abandoned property to the appropriate state’s unclaimed property administrator in accordance with the statutory requirements. The investor’s last known address of record determines which state has jurisdiction.

Market Timing and Excessive Trading

Market timing may interfere with the management of a Fund’s portfolio and result in increased costs. The Funds do not accommodate market timers. On behalf of the Funds, the Board of Trustees has adopted policies and procedures to discourage short term trading or to compensate the Funds for costs associated with it. If the Funds believe, in their sole discretion, that an investor is engaged in excessive short-term trading or is otherwise engaged in market timing activity, the Funds may, with or without prior notice to the investor, reject further purchase orders from that investor, and the Funds disclaim responsibility for any consequent losses that the investor may incur. The Funds’ response to any particular market timing activity will depend on the facts and circumstances of each case, such as the extent and duration of the market timing activity and the investor’s trading history in the Funds.

Redemption Fee

The Fund will charge a redemption fee of 2 percent of the total redemption amount if you sell or exchange your shares after holding them for less than 30 days subject to certain exceptions and limitations described below. The fee will be limited to the extent that any shares that are not subject to the fee (e.g., shares acquired via a dividend reinvestment) are sold or exchanged first. The redemption fee is paid directly to the Fund and is intended to encourage long-term investment in the Funds, to avoid transaction and other expenses caused by early redemptions and to facilitate portfolio management. The longest-held shares in your account will be exchanged or redeemed first.

This fee does not apply to:

Minimum required distributions from retirement plan accounts for shareholders 70 1/2 and older. The maximum amount subject to this waiver is based only upon the shareholder’s Praxis retirement accounts.

The return of an excess contribution or deferral amount from a retirement plan.

Redemption for the reallocation of purchases received under a systematic investment plan for rebalancing purposes.

Redemption by a discretionary platform for mutual fund wrap programs for rebalancing purposes.

Shares acquired via dividend reinvestment.

Shares held in most qualified retirement plans that are established as omnibus accounts or managed by a third-party administrator.

III-9

Shares transferred from one retirement plan to another in the same Fund.

Shares sold through a systematic withdrawal plan or non-discretionary rebalancing programs.

Redemptions requested within 30 days following the death or disability of the shareholder.

Certain omnibus accounts where it is impractical to impose the fee.

Restriction and Rejection of Purchase or Exchange Orders

The Funds reserve the right to restrict or reject, for any reason, without any prior notice, any purchase or exchange order. The Funds reserve the right to delay, for up to one business day, the processing of exchange requests in the event that, in a Fund’s judgment, such delay would be in the Fund’s best interest, in which case, both the redemption and purchase will be processed at the conclusion of the delay period.

The Funds’ policy imposing redemption fees applies uniformly to all investors. In accordance with Rule 22c-2 under the 1940 Act, the Funds have entered into information sharing agreements with financial intermediaries that are authorized to submit orders in nominee name on behalf of other parties. Under these agreements, a financial intermediary is obligated to: (1) adopt and enforce during the term of the agreement, a market-timing policy, the terms of which are acceptable to the Funds; (2) furnish the Funds, upon their request, with information regarding customer trading activities in shares of any of the Funds; and (3) enforce its market-timing policy with respect to customers identified by the Funds as having engaged in market timing. When information regarding transactions in the any of the Funds’ shares is requested by the Funds and such information is in the possession of a person that is itself a financial intermediary to a financial intermediary (an “indirect intermediary”), any financial intermediary with whom the Funds have an information sharing agreement is obligated to obtain transaction information from the indirect intermediary or, if directed by the Funds, to restrict or prohibit the indirect intermediary from purchasing shares of any of the Funds on behalf of other persons.

Important Notice to Financial Intermediaries

The Funds require that you identify yourself if you are a financial intermediary that establishes omnibus accounts in the Funds for your customers. If you do not identify yourself and a Fund determines that you are a financial intermediary, the Fund has the right to refuse future purchases from you and will apply its Market Timing Policy to your account(s) or may close your account immediately and send you the proceeds computed at the current NAV.

Risks Presented by Excessive Trading Practices

Parties engaged in market timing may use many techniques to seek to avoid detection. Despite the efforts of the Funds and their agents to prevent market timing, there is no guarantee that the Funds will be able to prevent all such practices. For example, the Funds receive purchase, exchange and redemption orders through financial intermediaries and cannot always reasonably detect market timing that may be facilitated by these intermediaries or by the use of omnibus account arrangements offered by these intermediaries to investors. Omnibus account arrangements typically aggregate the share ownership positions of multiple shareholders and often result in the Funds being unable to monitor the purchase, exchange and redemption activity of a particular shareholder. To the extent that the Funds and their agents are unable to curtail excessive trading practices in a Fund, those practices may interfere with the efficient management of the Fund’s investment portfolio, and may, for example, cause the Fund to maintain a higher cash balance than it otherwise would have maintained or to experience higher portfolio turnover than it otherwise would have experienced. This could hinder performance and lead to increased brokerage and administration costs. Those increased costs would be borne by Fund shareholders.

For a Fund that invests significantly in foreign securities traded on markets that may close prior to when the Fund determines its NAV, excessive trading by certain shareholders may cause dilution in the value of Fund shares held by other shareholders. Each Fund has procedures designed to adjust closing market prices of foreign securities under certain circumstances to reflect what it determines to be the fair value of those securities at the time when the Fund determines its NAV, which are intended to mitigate this risk. To the extent that a Fund invests in securities that may trade infrequently, such as securities of smaller companies, it may be susceptible to market timing by investors who seek to exploit perceived price inefficiencies in the Fund's investments. This is commonly referred to as price arbitrage.

Distribution Arrangements/Sales Charges

This section describes the sales charges and fees you will pay as an investor in the Praxis Class A shares and ways to qualify for reduced sales charges. This prospectus, which includes sales load breakpoint information, is available on the Funds' website at www.praxismutualfunds.com. In addition, a description of such sales load breakpoints and ways to qualify for reduced sales charges is provided on the website.

Sales Charge (Load)	Front-end sales charge; reduced sales charges available. ⁽¹⁾
Distribution and Service (12b-1) Fee	Subject to annual distribution and shareholder servicing fees of up to 0.50% of each Fund’s total assets. ⁽²⁾

⁽¹⁾ You may incur a CDSC on shares redeemed within two years of a purchase of $1 million or more.

⁽²⁾ The Trustees have authorized the Funds to charge no more than 0.25 percent as a 12b-1 fee.

Calculation of Sales Charges

Fund Shares are sold at their public offering price. This price includes the initial sales charge. Therefore, part of the money you invest will be used to pay the sales charge. The remainder is invested in Fund shares. The sales charge decreases with larger purchases. There is no sales charge on reinvested dividends and distributions.

The current sales charge rates for each of the Funds are as follows:

For the Acquired Fund and the Acquiring Fund

Your Investment	Sales Charge as a % of Offering Price		Sales Charge as a % of Your Net Investment		Dealer Allowance as a % of Offering Price
Less than $50,000		5.25%		5.54%		4.75%
$50,000 but less than $100,000		4.00%		4.17%		3.50%
$100,000 but less than $250,000		3.00%		3.09%		2.50%
$250,000 but less than $500,000		2.00%		2.04%		1.50%
$500,000 but less than $1,000,000		1.50%		1.52%		1.00%
$1,000,000 and above ⁽¹⁾		0.00%		0.00%		0.00%

⁽¹⁾

There is no initial sales charge on purchases of $1 million or more. However, a CDSC of up to 1 percent of the purchase price will be charged to the shareholder if shares are redeemed in the first year after purchase, or up to 0.50 percent if redeemed in the second year after purchase. This charge will be based on the lower of your cost for the shares or their NAV at the time of redemption. There will be no CDSC on reinvested distributions.

Sales Charge Reductions

Reduced sales charges are available to shareholders with investments of $50,000 or more. Your investment in the Money Market Account, however, is excluded from the investment required to qualify for a reduced sales charge. In addition, you may qualify for reduced sales charges under the following circumstances:

Letter of Intent. You inform the Funds in writing that you intend to purchase enough shares of any class over a 13-month period to qualify for a reduced sales charge. You must include a minimum of 5 percent of the total amount you intend to purchase with your letter of intent, not including appreciation, dividends and capital gains.

III-11

Rights of Accumulation. When the value of shares of any class you already own plus the amount you invest reaches the amount needed to qualify for reduced sales charges, your added investment will qualify for the reduced sales charge.

Combination Privilege. Combine accounts of multiple Funds or accounts of immediate family household members at the same address (spouse and children under 21) to achieve reduced sales charges. Shareholders must instruct the Fund in writing to have the household accounts combined in order to qualify for the Combination Privilege.

To obtain such discounts, it is necessary at the time of purchase for a shareholder to inform the Fund or Financial Intermediary of the existence of other accounts in which there are holdings eligible to be aggregated to meet these sales load breakpoints.

Sales Charge Waivers

The following qualify for waivers of front-end sales charges:

Following the death or disability of a Shareholder. A Shareholder will be treated as disabled if he or she is unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to result in death or to be of long-continued and indefinite duration. The Shareholder must furnish proof of disability to the Trust. (CDSC Waiver);

To the extent that the redemption represents a minimum required distribution from an Individual Retirement Account or other retirement plan to a Shareholder who has attained the age of 70 1/2 (CDSC Waiver);

For accounts owned by Trustees of the Funds, officers, directors, employees and retired employees of the Adviser or any Sub-Adviser and the Adviser’s or any Sub-Adviser’s affiliates, and spouses and children under the age of 21 of each of the foregoing;

For accounts owned by employees (and their spouses and children under the age of 21, and their employed staff) of financial institutions having agreements with the Funds;

For accounts owned by employees (and their spouses and children under the age of 21, and their employed staff) of any broker-dealer with whom the Distributor enters into a dealer agreement to sell Shares of the Funds;

To the extent that the redemption is involuntary (CDSC Waiver);

For accounts owned by all Everence Capital Management, Mennonite Foundation and Everence Trust Company investment advisory accounts and other affiliates of the Adviser;

For investment advisers or financial planners who place trades for their own accounts or the accounts of their clients, and who charge a management, consulting or other fee for their services; and clients of such investment advisers or financial planners who place trades for their own accounts if the accounts are linked to the master account of such investment adviser or financial planner on the books and records of the broker or agent: such accounts include retirement and deferred compensation plans and trusts used to fund those plans, including, but not limited to, those defined in Section 401, 403(b) or 457 of the Internal Revenue Code and “rabbi trusts”;

Provided that the Shareholder withdraws no more than 12 percent of the account value annually using the Auto Withdrawal Plan feature, subject to the limitation set forth under “Auto Withdrawal Plan”, above (CDSC Waiver);

III-12

10.

For accounts owned by employees of firms that have entered into an agreement to offer the Funds as part of their retirement or deferred compensation plans and trusts used to fund those plans, including, but not limited to, those defined in Section 401, 403(b) or 457 of the Internal Revenue Code administered by third-party plan administrators on behalf of plan participants; and

11.

For investment of proceeds from redemptions from another mutual fund complex within 90 days after redemption, provided you had paid a front-end sales charge when acquiring those shares.

For items 1 and 2 above, shareholders must notify the Trust either directly or through their broker-dealers, at the time of purchase or redemption, that they are entitled to a waiver of the sales charge or CDSC. For Items 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10 and 11 above, shareholders must notify the Trust directly, AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE, that they are entitled to a waiver of the sales charge or CDSC. The waiver will be granted subject to confirmation of the investor’s situation. For Item 8 above, sales load waivers do not apply to any fees imposed on redemptions or exchanges. Please see the sections titled “General policies on selling shares” and “Market timing and excessive trading” for more information.

The Distributor and the Adviser, at their expense and from their legitimate profits, may provide compensation to dealers in connection with sales of Shares of a Fund. Shares sold subject to the waiver of the sales charges are not eligible for the payment of such compensation.

The Distributor may provide additional compensation to securities dealers in an amount up to 0.75 percent of the offering price of shares, as applicable, of the Funds for individual sales of $1 million to $5 million and 0.50 percent of the offering price of shares, as applicable, for individual sales over $5 million.

The Adviser and/or its affiliates may pay out of their own assets and legitimate profits compensation to broker-dealers and other persons for the sale and distribution and/or for the servicing of shares of the Funds. This compensation consists of payments over and above the sales charges (and any applicable Rule 12b-1 fees) and service fees paid by the Funds. This compensation may be made to supplement commissions re-allowed to dealers, and may take the form of incentives for health benefits and deferred compensation. To earn incentives, the Adviser may combine Fund sales with sales of other products offered by the Adviser and/or its affiliates, including insurance products. In addition, the Adviser may make payments, in the form of intra-company payments, out of its own assets and legitimate profits and at no additional costs to the Funds or shareholders, to its affiliates in consideration of the assets invested in the Funds through that affiliate or ongoing shareholder services provided by that affiliate to shareholders.

The Adviser may also pay additional concessions, including de minimis non-cash promotional incentives, such as de minimis merchandise or trips, to broker/dealers employing registered representatives who have sold or are expected to sell a minimum dollar amount of shares of the Fund.

III-13

Reinstatement Privilege

You may, within 90 days of redemption, reinvest all or part of your sale proceeds by sending a written request and a check to the Fund. If the redemption proceeds were from the sale of your shares, you can reinvest into shares of any Praxis Fund Class A at the NAV. Reinvestment will be at the NAV next calculated after the Fund receives your request.

Distribution and Service (12b-1) Fees

Class A Shares incur 12b-1 fees. 12b-1 fees compensate the Distributor and other dealers and investment representatives for services and expenses relating to the sale and distribution of the Funds’ shares and/or for providing shareholder services. 12b-1 fees are paid from Fund assets on an on-going basis, and will increase the cost of your investment. See “Fees and expenses” tables for the Funds for additional information.

The Rule 12b-1 Plan authorizes Class A shares to pay a 12b-1 fee of up to 0.50 percent of the average daily net assets of the applicable Fund, although the Board of Trustees has currently authorized payments not to exceed 0.25 percent. The Distributor may use up to 0.25 percent of the 12b-1 fee for shareholder servicing and up to 0.25 percent for distribution.

Long-term shareholders may pay indirectly more than the equivalent of the maximum permitted front-end sales charge due to the recurring nature of 12b-1 distribution and service fees.

Notes to Pro Forma Financial Statements

BASIS OF COMBINATION

The unaudited Pro Forma Combined Statements of the Schedules of Portfolio Investments, Statement of Operations, and Assets and Liabilities reflect the accounts of two portfolios. The Growth Index Fund and the Core Stock Fund are portfolios of the Praxis Mutual Funds. These statements have been derived as if the proposed reorganization occurred as of and for the periods ended June 30, 2012.

The Agreement and Plan of Reorganization Agreement provides that on the Closing Date of the Reorganization, all of the assets and stated liabilities will be transferred as follows such that at and after the Reorganization, the assets and stated liabilities of the Core Stock Fund (“Acquired Fund”) will become the assets and liabilities Growth Index Fund ("Acquiring Fund") as follows:

	ACQUIRED FUND	ACQUIRING FUND

	Core Stock	Growth Index

In exchange for the transfer of stated assets and liabilities, the Acquiring Fund will issue to the Acquired Fund full and fractional shares of the Acquiring Fund and the Acquired Fund will make a liquidating distribution of such shares to its shareholders. The number of shares of the Acquiring Fund so issued will be equal in value to the aggregate net asset value of the Acquired Fund after the declaration and payment of any dividends on that date. The pro forma statements give effect to the proposed transfer described above.

Under the purchase method of accounting for business combinations under generally accepted accounting principles, the Acquiring Fund’s basis in the stated assets and liabilities of the Acquired Fund will be the fair market value of such assets and liabilities on the Closing Date of the Reorganization. The Acquiring Fund will recognize no gain or loss for federal income tax purposes on its issuance of shares in the Reorganization.

For accounting purposes, the Acquiring Fund is the surviving Fund of this Reorganization. The pro forma statements reflect the combined results of operations of the Acquired Fund and the Acquiring Fund. However, should such Reorganization be effected, the statements of operations of the Acquiring Fund will not be restated for pre-combination period results of the corresponding Acquired Fund.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, if any, at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

PORTFOLIO VALUATION

Both the Acquired Fund and the Acquiring Fund record their investments at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The valuation techniques used to determine fair value are further described below.

Securities generally are valued at market values determined on the basis of the latest available bid prices in the principal market (closing sales prices if the principal market is an exchange) in which such securities are normally traded. Investments in investment companies are valued at their respective net asset values as reported by such companies. The differences between the cost and market values of investments are reflected as either unrealized appreciation or depreciation.

The Funds use various independent pricing services to value most of their investments. A pricing service would normally consider such factors as yield, risk, quality, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics, special circumstances and other factors it deems relevant in determining valuations of normal institutional trading units of debt securities and would not rely exclusively on quoted prices. When valuing foreign securities held by the Funds, certain pricing services might use computerized pricing models to systematically calculate adjustments to foreign security closing prices based on the latest market movements. Such pricing models utilize market data that has been obtained between the local market close and the NYSE close to compute adjustments to foreign security close prices. The methods used by the pricing service and the valuations so established will be reviewed by Everence Capital Management, Inc. (the “Adviser”) under general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available (e.g. an approved pricing service does not provide a price, certain stale prices or an event occurs that materially affects the furnished price) are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith in accordance with consistently applied procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Short-term debt securities of sufficient credit quality maturing in less than 61 days are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value.

In certain circumstances, the Praxis Mutual Funds Valuation Procedures (“Valuation Procedures”) contemplate the Board’s delegation of the implementation of the Valuation Procedures to the Adviser. In valuing restricted securities under the Valuation Procedures, the Adviser will consider (but is not limited to) certain specific and general factors enumerated in the Valuation Procedures. The Valuation Procedures require that the Adviser report to the Board at each of its regular quarterly meetings regarding valuation of restricted securities and actions taken in connection with the Valuation Procedures. The Pricing Committee of the Adviser has established a policy and methodology, which was approved by the board, for pricing the Everence Community Investments notes held by several of the Funds. The methodology takes into consideration the fundamental quality of the notes, the nature and duration of restrictions on the disposition of the securities, and an evaluation of the forces that influence the market in which these securities are purchased and sold. Accordingly, the committee applied discounts to the notes, for which there is not an active market, based on the credit quality, maturity, and liquidity characteristics of what the committee determined to be similar securities.

SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND RELATED INCOME

Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date, interest income is recorded on the accrual basis, including amortization and accretion if applicable, and the cost of investments sold is determined by use of the specific identification method for both financial reporting and income tax purposes.

PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS AND PRO FORMA COMBINED COLUMNS

The pro forma Schedule of Portfolio Investments indicates the effect to the proposed transfer of such assets as if the Reorganization had occurred at June 30, 2012.

The pro forma adjustments and pro forma combined columns of the Merger of Investments and Statement of Assets & Liabilities reflect the adjustments of $92,500 in Reorganization costs which will be borne by the Acquired Fund and assets allocated between Class A and Class I shares, as well as an anticipated $20,000,000 redemption in Class I shares prior to Reorganization.

The pro forma adjustments and pro forma combined columns of the Statement of Operations reflect the adjustments necessary to show expenses at the rates which would have been in effect if the Funds were combined for the periods ended June 30, 2012. Investment advisory, distribution and administration fees in the pro forma combined column are calculated at the projected rates in effect for the Acquiring Fund based upon the combined net assets of the Acquired Fund and the Acquiring Fund. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

EXPENSES

The expenses in connection with the Reorganization are expected to be $92,500. On September 28, 2012, the Praxis Mutual Funds’ Board of Trustees approved the payment of the expenses by the Acquired Fund. Such expenses will be allocated to the Acquired Fund’s Class I Shares and Class A Shares on the basis of relative net assets.

Item 15.

Indemnification

Reference is made to Article VII of the Registrant's Declaration of Trust (Exhibit (a)(1), and Article VI of the Registrant's By-Laws (Exhibit (b), which are incorporated by reference herein.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to trustees, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant by the Registrant pursuant to the Fund's Declaration of Trust, its By-Laws or otherwise, the Registrant is aware that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and, therefore, is unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by trustees, officers or controlling persons of the Registrant in connection with the successful defense of any act, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such trustees, officers or controlling persons in connection with shares being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
