As a church, you have a responsibility to take care of those who serve on your staff, while also seeking to be good stewards of your limited financial resources. Our ministry partners at Guidestone Financial Resources publish a helpful guide each year. This resource can help you achieve your goal of taking care of church staff and faithfully stewarding your church’s resources. The guide is designed for use by the person(s) who determines pay arrangements for ministers and church employees.
Guidestone also partners with Lifeway every other year to conduct a comprehensive survey of church compensation across SBC churches nationwide. Those survey results can be filtered by positions, full-time/part-time status, state, worship size, and budget to compare church compensation across churches similar to yours. See the results from the 2024 survey HERE.Â
