Setting Compensation: $2.5 Billion in Free Data

Salaries and benefits comprise 54.5% of church budgets. That makes setting fair salaries one of your highest priorities—and one of the most expensive! Fletch has just released the free 2026 Salary Forecaster with $2.5 billion in church data (for the numerically precise, it is $2.486 billion, but let’s just round it to the closest hundred million).

Fletch and Jesse will talk through how to set fair compensation and the latest data from the Salary Forecaster. Bring your questions and ask them during the webinar.
