The church compensation challenge
To attract, retain, and motivate key members of your staff, you need to know if your compensation is on par with other churches of your size.
Let’s be honest: it’s a competitive labor market. Even in a church, it’s not enough to assume loyalty.
An annual review of staff compensation market data is best practice for churches of all sizes and denominations.
