It can either be reimbursed for the round-trip mileage at the current IRS rate (As of January 1, 2025, it is $.70 per mile), or an agreed upon amount between the congregation’s leadership and the supply pastor/deacon. Mileage can be predetermined using Google Maps or other Internet map services. It is recommended that congregations pay for a hotel room when needed.
