Compensation and Employment Guidelines
Booklets are available here to assist local churches in considering
compensation packages and/or related matters for those we employ
to help us carry out the ministries of the Church. The only booklet that has annually updated compensation figures is the Clergy Compensation Booklet.
These
booklets are available in PDF format only. If you
