    One, I believe our disagreement to be largely a semantic one; two, I believe it's a big stretch to argue that Scripture somehow does not allow for "church staff."

    Extra-Biblical does not mean unBiblical.

    Don't believe that I said the Scripture didn't allow for "church staffs".

    OK, then, I stand corrected.

    Bro K,

    I am not looking to debate with you concerning whether or not the Pastor is technically a staff member. This was not the purpose of my OP. My last response to you was simply trying to clarify the question that you brought up as to whether or not I intended for the Pastors salary to be included. I have now clearly stated that I did. If you wish to debate the question that you are offering, please start another thread. The question in the OP is of interest to myself and others and deserves for the thread to stay on-topic. Thank you brother and if you start the thread in question, I will try to stop in and post there. God bless.

    By the way, I realized that I have never posted our numbers. Our church apportions 52.24% of the annual budget to staff (Pastor, Youth Pastor, Music Minister, Secretary, Pianist, Custodian).

    The controversy at my friend's church is very interesting (this is partly why I was interested in your input). I will bring it up in a separate thread in a few days...I don't want to get this thread off-topic.

    If anyone else is reading this and has not posted percentages, I would appreciate them doing so. After all, it is for a good cause: my knowledge.:praying:

    No debate. Just Fact. Maybe one of the Board's Admin will let us know how they conduct their meeting and how the meeting is governed.

    I reviewed my postings and nowhere found where is questioned you intent to pay the Pastor.
    My posting on 5-29-2010 @ 2:45pm may be shed some light on my views.

    I have respectfully asked you to stop hijacking this thread. Half of the posts in this thread are already off-topic due to your changing the subject (either your re-direction into this question or people responding to it). Again, if you wish to discuss the other issue, start your own thread. I would think that a Christian gentleman would oblige a simple request to stay on-topic.

    1. Hijacking? Please be specific.
    2. Re-direction....stay on-topic> Read following:

    My Post (#6) was my initial reply to your Post (#1)
    No re-direction there

    My Post (#8) was my reply to rbell's Post (#7) to clarify what I said in Post #6.
    No re-direction there

    My Post (#13) was my reply to BroChris Post (#12) to compliment him.
    No re-direction there

    My Post (#20) was my reply to your Post (#17) showing what a staff member is and to whom they work for.
    No re-direction there

    My Post (#22) was my reply to rbell's Post (#21) to correct a misleading assumption.
    No re-direction there

    My Post (#26) was my reply to your Post (#24) to state a simple fact.
    No re-direction there.

    I request that the Administrators to this thread review the entire thread and submit where I have erred. Rest assured if I'm doing ANYTHING unacceptable
    I regret it; but I must BE SHOWN so I can take corrective actions in the future. :confused:

    I talked to a few area pastors today and their numbers seem to fall into the range that we are seeing here: 43.4%, 47%, 51%, 54.2%, and 60.334%.

    Thank you to everyone who has posted numbers as requested in the OP. You have been a blessing.

    Moderators:

    I believe that this thread has served its purpose as several people responded with helpful answers. Seeing that no one else has responded to the OP in more than 24 hours, it might just be better to let this one go into retirement by shutting it down. It might save everyone involved an unneeded headache.

    Thanks and God bless,
    Crucified

    Our budget gives 47% to the pastor, staff and other personnel (Pastor, Assistant Pastor, Youth Pastor, Worship Pastor, admin. assistants, accountants, and paid childcare workers).
