DALLAS — GuideStone Financial Resources, along with LifeWay Research and Baptist state conventions, is conducting its biennial SBC Church Compensation Survey.
Ministers and church employees have been invited to participate in the survey, a resource used by churches of all sizes to determine fair wages and benefits. Survey participants have the opportunity to enter for a chance to win an iPad. The survey and complete contest rules are available by clicking here.
The survey’s results will be available in early fall, in time for many churches to consider their 2017 budgets. The survey is the largest free church-compensation study conducted in the United States. The most recent survey results—conducted in 2014—have been visited almost 55,000 times.
Survey results are not reported individually. Compensation and benefit information can be contributed anonymously. At the conclusion of the survey, GuideStone and LifeWay will compile the data and provide all users with access to the results. Participants in the survey who provide an email address will have first access to the study’s customizable reports.
Southern Baptist church ministers and staff have until May 31 to complete the online survey. The winner of the iPad will be notified via email.
