Paying the Pastor: Understanding Ministry Compensation
Ministerial compensation is inherently complex. Unlike traditional roles, ministers often serve beyond the bounds of a standard 40-hour work week—responding to late-night phone calls, leading evening Bible studies, attending hospital visits, officiating weddings and funerals, and participating in countless other moments of care and connection. At Pension Fund of the Christian Church, we are committed to living out our mission, For the Support of Ministry, by equipping churches with resources to care well for their ministerial staff. Financial stress weighs heavily on many pastors, yet those who experience greater financial stability are better positioned to serve their congregations with focus, energy, and compassion. Below are components to consider when structuring a compensation package for your pastor.
