Great Stewardship

STARTS WITH YOU

"Who then is that faithful and wise steward...?" Luke 12:42

Church Compensation Services has the tools uniquely developed to help large and growing churches with their compensation programs. Now more and than ever, churches need to ensure their staff and pastoral salaries are fair, efficient and relevant.

The average mega church employs over 125 people and spends approximately $6,000,000 annually on compensation, which is half their annual budget! Isn't it worth investing a small portion of your budget to insure your compensation dollars are spent wisely?

What We Do

Church Compensation Services specializes in developing compensation programs utilizing the most relevant, reliable and robust compensation data available for large and growing churches.

The owner and founder began her career in compensation 25 years ago with the majority of her career at a leading global human resource consulting firm. She has consulted with many of the Fortune 500 companies including Coca-Cola, McDonalds, Harley Davidson, as well as large not-for-profits in healthcare and higher education.

The MegaChurch Compensation Survey was created in 2006 utilizing biblical principles and best compensation practices and has grown to serve hundreds of churches since. Many participants have said it is the best compensation resource they have seen since leaving the corporate world.

Our Mission

To provide churches with the tools and data needed to develop a fair and relevant compensation program, stewarding church resources while compensating Pastors and staff appropriately.

“I have looked the survey over and it is a thing of beauty. I have not seen such comprehensive data since my days in HR with Fortune 500 companies. I cannot tell you how needed this has been in the church world and how helpful it will be to us. You may count on our participation in years to come.

— SR HR Director, Church of 6,000

“Thank you! This is helpful information. We want to be a part of the survey on an ongoing basis as this survey appears to be getting data from similar size churches whereas the data in other church reports seems to be gravitating toward smaller churches.
