Portfolio Turnover [Text Block]

rr_PortfolioTurnoverTextBlock

The Portfolio pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Portfolio shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Portfolio’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Portfolio’s portfolio turnover rate was 10.26 percent of the average value of its portfolio.

Example

Expense Example Narrative [Text Block]

rr_ExpenseExampleNarrativeTextBlock

This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Portfolio with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.

The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Portfolio for the time period indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5 percent return each year and that the Portfolio’s operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

Strategy [Heading]

rr_StrategyHeading

Principal Investment Strategies

Strategy Narrative [Text Block]

rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock

The Portfolio, a fund of funds, seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing primarily in Class I shares of underlying Praxis Funds.

The Portfolio typically invests approximately 30—50 percent of its assets in bond funds and 50—70 percent of its assets in equity funds. In selecting underlying funds, the Adviser analyzes many factors, including the underlying funds' investment objectives, total return, and volatility. The Portfolio may also invest in other mutual funds or exchange traded funds ("ETFs") to gain exposure to unique investment characteristics not available in the underlying Praxis Funds and whose screening criteria may differ from social investing screens used by the Praxis Mutual Funds. Investments in these non-Praxis funds and ETFs may not exceed 10 percent of the value of the Portfolio. The Portfolio may hold a minimal amount of cash or cash equivalent positions, such as money market instruments, U.S. Government securities, commercial paper, and repurchase agreements.

The above asset allocation ranges are targets. The Adviser has discretion to reallocate the Portfolio's assets among the allowable investments described above. As a result of market gains or losses, the percentage of the Portfolio's assets invested in bond funds and equity funds at any given time may be different from the asset allocation target ranges shown above. The Adviser expects to rebalance the Portfolio's assets annually in accordance with the asset allocation model then in effect, but reserves the right to rebalance more or less frequently as it deems appropriate, depending on market conditions, investment experience, and other factors. The Portfolio seeks to avoid investments that are deemed inconsistent with the stewardship investing core values.

Stewardship Investing

The Portfolio also analyzes potential investments for their ability to 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

Risk [Heading]

Principal Investment Risks

Risk Narrative [Text Block]

rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock

Because the value of the Portfolio’s assets will fluctuate with market conditions and interest rates, so will the value of your investment in the Portfolio. You could lose money on your investment in the Portfolio, or the Portfolio could underperform other investments. Some of the Portfolio’s holdings may underperform its other holdings.

The Portfolio is subject to asset allocation risk, which is the possibility that the selection by the Adviser of underlying funds and the allocation of Portfolio assets to those funds will cause the Portfolio to underperform. In addition, the Portfolio is subject to the risks associated with the underlying funds in which it invests. To the extent the Portfolio is invested in equity funds, it is susceptible to risks typically associated with equity investing, including that the stock market may decline in value and individual stocks held by the underlying funds may not perform as expected, and to the extent the Portfolio is invested in bond funds, it is susceptible to risks typically associated with bond investing, including interest rate risk, or the chance that the value of the fixed-income securities the underlying funds hold will decline due to rising interest rates. The value of the Portfolio’s shares could decline significantly and unexpectedly based upon many factors, including national and international political or economic conditions and general market conditions. Events in one market may impact other markets. Future events may impact the Portfolio in unforeseen ways.

The bar chart and table that follow provide some indication of the risk of an investment in the Portfolio. The bar chart shows how the performance has varied from year to year since its inception. The returns in the bar chart do not reflect any applicable sales charges. If sales charges were included, returns would be lower than those shown, as reflected in the table. The table shows how the Portfolio’s average annual total returns for different periods compared to those of a broad-based securities market index.

Please note that the Portfolio’s past performance, before and after taxes, is not necessarily an indication of how the Portfolio 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 Portfolio shares through a tax-deferred arrangement, such as a 401(k) plan or individual retirement account, the after-tax returns are not relevant.

The Composite Benchmark is comprised of unmanaged indices that correspond to the Portfolio’s model allocation and consists of the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (the “Barclays Aggregate Bond Index”) (40%), the MSCI All Country World ex US Index (15%), the S&P 500 Index (35%) and the Russell 2000 Index (10%).¹ The Standard & Poor’s Target Risk Growth Index was added to the table to show comparative performance with an index that has an asset allocation similar to the Portfolio.

[1] AFFE are not reflected in the Financial Highlights or audited financial statements.

[2] Everence Capital Management, Inc. ("the Adviser") has entered into a contractual expense limitation agreement with respect to the Balanced Portfolio until April 30, 2016. 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 and expenses, legal fees and expenses, and extraordinary expenses) to 0.60 percent of the Portfolio's average daily net assets. The Portfolio 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 Portfolio Operating Expenses (excluding AFFE, brokerage costs, interest, taxes, dividends, fees paid to vendors providing fair value pricing and fund compliance services, Trustees fees and expenses, legal fees and expenses, and extraordinary expenses) to exceed 0.60 percent, and the repayment is made within three years after the year in which the Adviser waived and/or reimbursed the expense.
