Updated guide for structuring terms of call available

Living by the Gospel is a resource for congregations as they determine salaries and benefits for ministers for 2025. It details the benefits available through the 2025 Benefits Plan and how they work together with the education and assistance programs to support ministers’ well-being.

This decision-making resource includes data on effective salary by job code, geography, congregation size, gender, and minister age. The 223rd General Assembly (2018) authorized Living by the Gospel to promote awareness of gender disparity in benefits and salary packages.
