I’ve been receiving quite a few calls from pastors and church treasurers who are struggling to fill out their clergy compensation form and calculate the cost of benefits. The GMC has some great resources to help.
Recently I’m getting more and more questions from pastors concerning the difference between an FSA, HRA, and HSA. Probably the biggest question is, “What happens to the money if I leave ministry or change denominations?” I cover that plus more.
The most intimidating part of being a church treasurer is the payroll. I’ve had the privilege of helping a lot of folks with this over the years. I decided to make an online calculator to help Global Methodists pay their pastor correctly.
Many churches are preparing budgets and plans for 2024. A big part of that budget and plan is usually the pastor. I put together some tools to help set the pastor’s compensation in the Global Methodist denomination.
