Church Salaries. While salaries can range anywhere from $46,991 to $74,606 a year, the average wage of a church choir director is closer to $62,000 a year, revealed a survey by Christianity Today International, a nonprofit ministry association. In fact, this salary was one of the higher for church staff in 2010.
While working as a pastor in a megachurch pays more than smaller churches, the position you occupy as a pastor also affects your income. Executive pastors earn an average of $99,000 a year, while worship pastors earn an average of $75,000. A youth pastor at a megachurch earns an average of $54,000. The amount of money the megachurch brings in, however, drastically affects earning potential. Churches with a budget of more than $10 million pay their executive pastors almost $100,000 more than megachurches with a budget of less than $2 million.
