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.
Pastor salaries, as are teacher salaries, are not keeping up with others with professional degrees, with a minimum of a Bachelorâs degree. According to the National Association of Church Business Administration, the average pastor in 2012 received an annual salary of $28,000.One out of five pastors has to work a second job to support himself and his family.The average pastorâs salary of $28,000 a year is close to that of a teachersâ average salary in the United States which is $42,000 a year.As I stated before, these are the two lowest paid professionals with degrees in the nation.s you might expect, most of the lowest paid pastors are those who have the smallest churches. Some receive only what is called a pulpit supply fee of about one hundred dollars a week. They get no benefits like health insurance, car insurance, expenses for clothing or school, and vehicle.
