14 Oct 2011 Pastor’s Salary Recommendation

The Executive Leadership Team approved the 2011 minimum fulltime salary formula for United Brethren ministers.

• The recommendation includes a base salary of $36,500 (a 1.1% increase from 2010). That is a starting point.
• Other factors–such as experience, education, church attendance, staff size–add to the base salary.
• Benefits such as parsonage, utilities, SECA, insurance, and pension round out the compensation package.

To be a fulltime pastor, the compensation package must meet all of these criteria in full. If a church cannot meet these guidelines, a pastor may pursue supplemental employment to achieve the compensation level.
