For nearly 35 years, ChurchSalary has provided trustworthy and accurate compensation guidance to churches. What started as print handbooks has evolved into today's 3.1 platform. One thing that has never changed is our deep commitment to applying two core biblical principles to church finances and pay decisions: Fairness and Stewardship. Employees deserve fair pay because “the worker deserves their wages” (Matt. 10:10, 1 Tim. 5:18). Leaders are called to be good stewards because Jesus expects us to be “faithful and wise managers” of the resources with which he has entrusted us (Luke 12:42).
