Clergy Compensation Guidelines

2023 Compensation Guidelines for Rostered Ministers of the Pacifica Synod

The documents below are updated annually and reflect the current baseline salary for Rostered Ministers as adopted at the prior year’s synod assembly. At the 2022 Pacifica Synod Assembly, in May 2022, Synod Assembly Voting Members approved recommendation of a 5.6% increase in the Baseline Salary for Rostered Ministers (Ministers of Word and Sacrament and Ministers of Word and Service) of the Pacifica Synod for the year 2023. This action brings the baseline salary (including salary and housing allowance) to $72,788 for Ministers of Word & Sacrament.
