I was surprised to hear on Dave Ramsey's radio program that most church pastors are 'bi-vocational' meaning they have to hold down a 2nd job to pay the bills, in addition to being the pastor. I think he said only 20 percent of them receive a salary sufficient to keep them alive (a 'living wage' as some in govt would call it?). I don't know where he got his numbers to make that statement, but he is the 3rd most popular radio show host in the USA, so I suppose it has some weight. Another statistic I've read is that many pastors are leaving the field to work in the secular field (which makes sense when you think they are not getting paid enough). I know some denominations make it their policy that the pastors have to be 'bi-vocational' by not paying them a regular salary. I guess you could say these are not very prosperous denominations. |
