Hey Fletch … I’m trying to get a handle on my compensation. Is it fair? Am I underpaid? Please give some advice on comparable salaries for my role.

DRF—There are some great online tools that you can use. Christianity Today’s Salary Survey, MinistryPay and Leadership Network (for large churches).

XPastor has a Compensation Survey. I’m right in the middle of indexing the numbers for 2018 inflation. Most folks have found our numbers are right on the mark for their size church.

For churches in the south in your size range, the average salary for your role is $77,500.
