Factors that affect pastors' salaries
Allie Martin - OneNewsNow A new survey reveals that the average senior pastor in the U.S. makes more than $80,000 a year. The national survey of pastors and church staff was conducted by the "Your Church Media Group" of Christianity Today International. According to the survey, the compensation and benefits paid to the average senior pastor have risen to $81,113 per year. The survey also showed a pastor's salary is affected by his education. The difference in compensation between pastors with a doctorate is $14,000 to $24,000 more every year, compared to those with a bachelor's degree in similar positions.
Ryan Ellis with Christianity Today says the location and municipal setting of a church also was a key factor in a pastor's salary. |

IRS Goes to Court Over Minneapolis Church's Records
MINNEAPOLIS-- The Internal Revenue Service is looking into financial dealings between a Twin Cities church and its pastor.
The Star Tribune reports the IRS is investigating whether compensation and loan deals between the Living Word Christian Center of Brooklyn Park and its pastor, the Reverend Mac Hammond, violated laws for tax-exempt organizations.
The IRS has asked the U.S. District Court in Minneapolis to force the church to comply with a demand for detailed financial information. The church failed to respond to a summons last March.
A church spokesman says the church has "complied with everything the IRS has asked us to do."
According to the petition, the IRS wants to examine Hammond's compensation, benefits and deals in which the church financed an airplane for him, which he in turn leased back to the church.
The IRS also is asking for details on loans for Hammond's residence that were later forgiven by the church.
