Compensation

Compensation to visiting pastors is the responsibility of the host congregation. Per the 2024 Rostered Leaders FAIR COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS WORKBOOK, congregations should consider the following to be a guideline in compensating supply pastors:

Congregations should consider the following to be a guideline in compensating supply pastors:

  • One Service of Worship $270
  • Two Services of Worship (same day) $330
  • Preparing for and Teaching Bible Class/Adult Forum $130
  • In addition, mileage should be reimbursed at the same rate as documented under REIMBURSEMENT OF PROFESSIONAL EXPENSES.
    Example: A supply pastor serving at a Saturday evening worship service and two Sunday morning worship services should receive $270 + $330 = $600 + travel
  • Supply pastors should be paid on the day they provide the service.
