Salary ranges for key church staff positions
Lead Pastor, Executive Pastor, Worship, Youth, Admin, and more!
Talent tier framework to evaluate candidates
Unique to this guide is a talent tier framework to inform hiring and salary decisions. From "Good but Green" → "Unicorn," a better understanding of the candidate you're looking for vs. what your budget says you can afford will help you make a more informed hiring decision for both growth and longevity.
Compensation benchmarks based on church size and location
From small to large, urban to rural, the team at One39 staffing has done the research to help you along.
Non-Cash Compensation
Healthcare, retirement, PTO, sabbaticals, housing allowance, and other creative ways to provide compensation that don't include increased pay. Quality of life is a worthwhile investment for church staff, and often underutilized in compensation packages.
