This page provides guidelines and worksheets for congregations to use when determining compensation and benefits.
The Grand Canyon Synod Executive Committee recommends that when using these guidelines the congregation council (or personnel committee) consult standard inflation benchmarks.
You can also view/download these guidelines as a Word document or PDF document.
We are working to update this page so the guidelines are more fully online, and may provide a calculator for your use. Thanks for your patience.
We also share ELCA.org’s Compensation & Benefits form: Definition of Compensation, Benefits, And Responsibilities for Ministers of Word and Sacrament Under Call (PDF).
