Salary Package Amounts? What is your pay?

Don't really know. Being a tent maker all my life I guess the Lord knows what my pay package was cuz its all up there if there is any

 

You'll have to ask my wife---she handles all the "Big Stuff!!"

31,000 Regular
5000 Health
5200 Retirement
4000 Travel expense/miliage reimbursement(not part of salary)
2500 Housing allowance
1000 Convention expense(not part of salary)

How much is that??

 

We get somewhere around $30,000
No insurance
no car mileage
no housing allowance
no convention expense
ALSO, no office hours

Yes parsonage
yes all bills but phone
financial gifts when we go to conventions and extra pay during revivals (for hosting evangelist)
And, its part time

 

I get minimum wage.
Overhere, asking somebody about his salary without a very good reason is simply not done, so I can't ask what our headpastor takes home every month.

 

Congregational size ~400

The total package offered to the pastor comes to a little over 75K, which includes health insurance, education, auto/gas, minimal retirement benefits and business allowance.

The deacons have been working on raising the salaries for the past 4 years but both pastors asked to forgo their increases so we could hire another pastor.
That WILL happen in December!

total of the package is around 37k.

Housing paid except phone and cable.

Insurance around 8k per year.

Milage is separate so I don't have it set.

2k per year for edu. expenses.

It's a blessing for an average weekly attendance of 85- 90 people. God has been growing the church from the inside out though and those numbers are looking better every week. Just hope I don't get caught up in the numbers game.

 

Our Senior Pastor's base salary is about $75K, plus benefits (insurances, etc.). I don't believe he gets either a car or housing benefit in addition to his salary. For the size of our church (attendance on 11/07 was 2,174) and for the hours he puts in, I don't believe he's overpaid by any means.

 

The pastor of my former church has a package of $60-65K. That includes his salary, insurance (he is retired, and the church pays his premium to keep the insurance he had when he was employed), travel reimbursment. He has $15K declared as housing allowance to help with taxes.

The problem with that? The church runs 120 on a really good Sunday, about 100 normally.

In Christ,

I made a mistake on the health---its 9000!

 

16k - Salary
12k - Housing
2k - Utilities

 

Our Senior Pastor's package was $92,000 total.

 

right before I left for seminary we got a new pastor, and for a church in our state (IL) and for oen of our size (~185 on Sunday Morning) and for one his age (~50) all the numbers pointed to an average of about $42,000 or so (but I htink that was without insurance etc).

If I'm not mistaken, even if it isn't specifically called out as "Housing Allowance" a pastor is allowed to designate part of his salary as housing allowance...

 

Easy question for me. I pastor a very small church 20 members, average attendance of about 50, and get exactly zero dollars, and am glad to do it.

I don't know. Diane, how large a church does your pastor lead? Our church is around 2,000 on Sunday morning. Plus, living in Colorado Springs and one can't get a home for under 200,000, I would assume $92,000 would be about right. However, there are 7 other full-time pastors on staff.

 

A housing allowance must be declared in the church budget at the beginning of the year. Otherwise it cannot be declared on the Pastor's tax return. We have our annual budget meeting at the end of January, but we have a quick meeting to establish the housing allowance on the 1st Sunday, otherwise it cannot be declared at the end of the year. I am sure that many do it anyway, but that is what the IRS requires.

 

I am full-time in a church that now averages about 50-55 in SS.

28,000/yr plus 3060 placed in annuity board retirement. A parsonage is provided along with water and DSL line! But that's it.

Low, but God is using it totally to provide for my family of 6.

 

My total package is about $60,000. That includes housing, retirement and insurance. God is good and supplies all our needs.
