Phil Gehman, our Board of Pensions Regional Representative, posted the following RegionalLinks for July. Of particular interest was the Salary Study and Reports.

The Salaries in the Parish Ministry 2009 Salary Study, the Clergy Effective Salaries Compared by Congregation Size and Years of Service report, the Clergy Effective Salaries Compared by Synod report, and the Median Salaries and Dues Minimums and Maximums for 2010 are now available on Pensions.org.

The 2009 Salary Study reports the median and average effective salaries for minister members of the Benefits Plan who are serving U.S. congregations, which determines the dues minimums and maximums for 2010.

The clergy effective salaries reports tabulate a range of effective salary data to assist decision-makers in reviewing clergy compensation.

Please see the study and reports for details.
