APPENDIX D ~ GUIDELINES FOR CLERGY COMPENSATION 1992

(for use with Guidelines for Clergy Compensation booklet from the Conference Office)

The 192nd Annual Meeting of the Massachusetts Conference of the United Church of Christ, concerned with the growth of its churches and the compensation of its ordained leaders, commends the effort of the local churches In endeavoring to reach the goals recommended in Guidelines for Clergy Compensation 1991 . These are minimum recommendations. They apply to all full-time pastors, associates and assistants.

The 192nd Annual meeting recommends that:

(1) churches pay a minimum entry-level cash salary of $18,470 for a full-time pastor and minimum salaries as listed below in B; 1

(2) churches not at the minimum salary work toward the minimum and also at improving C, D, and E, below;

(3) churches reimburse fully all professional expenses;

(4) churches already at or above the minimum and also providing for C through F give at least a cost-of-living increase and consider a merit increase.

(5) the work schedule of local pastors be a minimum of ten units per week with no more than three evenings in any given week; in addition that pastors take off at least three consecutive days each month. 2

A. CONSIDERATIONS FOR DETERMINING CLERGY COMPENSATION

While the ministry is a unique profession requiring special patterns of financial compensation, several overall factors can be considered in determining the level of support for clergy. The total compensation package could justly be comparable to the median income of the parish and perhaps be on a par with that of the local high school principal, showing consideration for years of service, special skills, and training and including annual cost-of-living increases. The federal tax structure is unique for clergy and the compensation package can be designated in a way to maximize the pastor's income. 3

B. MINIMUM CASH SALARY

The minimum cash salary (not including housing and other expenses) ought to be as follows:

# of Church Members | yrs. experience I 0-3 4-10 over 10

up to 300 I 18,470 19,980 21,500

301-500 I 18,470 21,370 24,720

501-1000 I 18,470 22,850 28,250

over 1000 I 18,470 24,270 31,990

Therefore, if a pastor of ten years ordination/experience arrives at a congregation with 375 members, she or he should receive a base salary of not less than $21,370 (recognizing certain regional variations).

C. SOCIAL SECURITY ALLOWANCE

The church should provide an amount equal to one-half the self- employment social security tax liability for each clergy person. Such an allowance is taxable income but will ease the burden of the big Social Security tax.

Minutes

D.» HOUSING THAT PROVIDES:

(1) a furnishing allowancel, all utilities, and an equity development plan for those living in a parsonage; OR

(2) a housing allowance for those who rent or own their homes.

E. BENEFITS THAT PROVIDE:

(1) a pension plan, with a church contribution of 14? of salary basis, which is (a) at least 130$ of cash salary plus any furnishings allowance for those living in a parsonage, or (b) cash salary plus housing allowance for those with such allowaince;

(2) a family protection plan, including disability insurance, which is an additional 1$ of the base used for the emnuity;

(3) group life insurance which costs $50 per year;

(4) medical and health insurance, plus dental care;

(5) continuing education funding;

(6) sabbatical education funding;

(7) holiday and vacation time;

(8) maternity/paternity paid leave (including adoption).

F. ALL PROFESSIONAL EXPENSES

The new tax law allows the deduction of business expenses only on Schedule A and any stated allowance for these items must be included in income. Most taxpayers no longer itemize since higher deductions are given to everyone. Therefore, it is Important that churches reimburse, or pay directly, all of the costs which the pastor incurs for "doing business" for the church , so that the pastor is not paying income tax for church expense . Included are:

(1) books and professional subscriptions;

(2) professional memberships;

(3) travel expenses and car allowance (church-owned car or travel reimbursement);

(4) any other expenses incurred by the pastor and directly attributable to the exercise of ministry.

1 The recommended cash salary base and the grid in section B show an increase of 5.4$ over that which was adopted for 1991. The cost of living index for 1990 increased by 5.4?.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the 192nd Annual Meeting encourages all church members to support this alternative vision of justice by contacting their representatives, senators, and Governor Weld, writing their local newspapers and finding additional ways that their congregations can put this vision on the state and national agenda.

APPENDIX F ~ RESOLUTION IN SUPPORT OF TREATMENT ON DEMAND

WHEREAS the American Medical Association recognizes drug addiction and alcoholism as treatable diseases; and

WHEREAS there are at least 405,000 men and women in Massachusetts who need treatment for alcoholism and drug abuse; and

WHEREAS the waiting list for treatment averages one to three weeks for detoxification and eight to twelve weeks for residential treatment and thus 4000 residents are at any time awaiting treatment; and

WHEREAS addicts deserve the same human rights as anyone else, including the right to have immediate access to professional and quality treatment; and

WHEREAS it costs approximately $9,654 per year to provide an addict with detoxification and treatment, it costs over two times that amount, $23,386 per year, to keep an addict in jail; and

WHEREAS although the cost of making Treatment on Demand a reality is an additional $38.6 million, at the same time significant savings would be realized in spending for jails, courts, police and AIDS treatment; and

WHEREAS Treatment on Demand can be defined as prompt treatment for drug and alcohol addiction when requested, in supply adequate for the demand; and

WHEREAS Jesus Christ was sent by God and empowered by the Holy Spirit to heal people from disease; and Treatment on Demand, with God's grace, can empower people to become productive members of society;

Search Institute

1991-92 COMPENSATION GUIDELINES

These guidelines are written using certification categories for educators in the United Church of Christ. The categories, or levels, are designed to recognize both formal educational training and experience. The Commission for Educational Ministries has divided the Accredited Church Educator category into two levels; Accredited I for educators with a Bachelor's degree, and Accredited II for those with a Master's degree.

Please note that certification by the United Church Board for Homeland Ministries is awarded only after some years of church employment. Your educator need not be certified in order to be paid at the levels noted below. However, it is recommended that your employee be encouraged to go through the certification process as a way of being affirmed, recognized by peers, and intentional in her/his assessment and growth as an educator.

Church School Superintendent

In many settings this person is a volunteer or an active layperson assisting the church in the administrative details of the church school operation. At the very least, this person should be reimbursed for basic expenses such as child care, telephone, travel, attendance at education seminars, subscriptions to Christian education periodicals, etc. A stipend or wage will depend on the amount of work, level of experience, and the degree to which the position is seen as a volunteer position.
