As we transition to the 2025 Benefits Plan, the Board is here to walk with congregations and pastoral leaders on this journey. Online resources are available to help guide employers and members with benefits decision-making for 2025. Regional Church Consultants are also available to help guide conversations.
The 2025 Benefits Plan better meets the needs of the changing Church, providing flexibility and choice for congregations and pastoral leaders.

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.
