The State of Church Compensation 2023

Explore current pay trends and discover creative ways to improve staff pay and benefits.

Inflation is easing, but churches still face financial constraints. How are churches adapting while trying to retain and reward pastors and staff in 2023 and beyond?

Join hosts Aaron Hill, Editor for ChurchSalary, and Matthew Branaugh, Attorney and Editor for Church Law & Tax, along with experts Scott Landon and Josh Whitehead, for a webinar as we discuss:

  • How much are churches handing out in terms of raises and bonuses in 2023?
  • How can churches retain pastors and staff if they can't give large raises?
  • How are multisite churches approaching pay and benefits for campus pastors?
