Benefits & Compensation
Questions regarding benefit plans for congregational employees (including retirement, health insurance, life insurance, dental insurance, and disability insurance) or salary and compensation guidelines for ministers and other religious professionals should be directed to our Office of Church Staff Finances.
Congregational Staff & Volunteers
Whether your congregation employs a single part-time staff member or a diversified and specialized staff numbering in the dozens—or in countless configurations in between—it is important to staff in a way that promotes your congregation’s vision and mission while providing staff with the resources necessary to achieve what you expect of them. Our collection of staffing resources and policies for congregational personnel may be helpful to you as you consider how to best staff your congregation and encourage effective staff teams.
Questions regarding staffing, performance or other personnel issues at your congregation should be directed to your District Executive.
