Clergy Compensation for 2021

*Context: After 3-4 years of no salary increases for our paid staff, in 2018 the Church Council voted to give all staff a “cost of living” increase in salaries for 2019. The Council decided in 2019 to keep salaries for staff the same for 2020. This year the Church Council decided to keep all staff salaries the same for 2021 (vote: 7-2).
