I have sat on “pay committees.”
I am of the opinion that, generally speaking, a pastor’s salary should align with the demographics of the church with the level of responsibility thrown in.
I think Army pay scales are useful. A pastor of a 3,000 member church with a staff of 5-10 people probably has 20 years in the pulpit. I think in a medium sized city $100,000 is reasonable. And that reflect about what a Lie tenant Colonel makes. A pastor in a small church in a smaller town should do well with about $40-50K. (First Lieutenant/Junior Captain) Mind you I retired 5 years ago so those numbers may be off.
The thing to remember is, especially in a smaller church, they are on 24/7.

Chris Rosebrough also has a video on tithing that is hands down the best explanation Ive ever heard of how it no longer appliesWhich video are you referring to? Can you provide a link? I went through his YouTube playlists, but I didn't see a topic specifically discussing tithing.

Im traveling at the moment, but when I get a chance Ill take a look and let you know. I thought it was a video specifically about tithing, but it may be that he was discussing it within a video with a different title.

I’d appreciate that. It’s an interesting topic, and I feel like I’ve been getting...biased information, shall we say, from some churches and pastors.
