This is the standard text that churches use to determine what staff compensation is at other churches. It simply has more data than any other source and it breaks the data down in a reasonable fashion, i.e. it isn’t fair to compare the compensation of a mega church with one at a tiny rural church. As such, this data is hugely important when trying to determine how much to pay church staff, although in general, it should not be the sole determinant of church salaries.
