For Pastors
A pastoral vacancy is often a difficult experience for the Congregation. It can also be a time of growth, as God's people step forward to keep ministries going and even increase their support. It is a great time for self-examination and goal setting.
This pastoral vacancy is also an opportune time for a Congregation to look at its strengths and weaknesses, ministry priorities, and vision for the future.
The 2010 Ohio District - LCMS Compensation Guidelines are now available. In order to allow each congregation and school to set salaries for their workers based on their local economy, the Guidelines were developed based on starting salaries of your local public school district.
There is more to providing for your workers than just salary. Please spend sufficient time reviewing the Guidelines in their entirety as they address the entire spectrum of Human Resources.
If your congregation is unable to meet these Guidelines, we strongly encourage that a plan be put in place that will meet the Guidelines in three to five years. Please do not put them aside as "impossible." Our Professional Church Workers are a great asset to our congregations and schools and deserve to be compensated in a fair and equitable manner.
