Church Leader Salaries

[PokerGun]

Should Church Pastor, Reverend, or any Church Leader's salaries should be public knowledge? After all, it is a non-profit organization.
Just wondering.

I'd like to know what mega-churchs pay their pastors. Would be some insight.

I’ve often wondered how lucrative that career is.
Big house
lots of kids
trips around the world
No taxes
Etc etc...

Can be very lucrative, so many scammers out there because of it.

[cannon]

No, private industry and no one else business.

Must admit I enjoy when those prosperity mega church guys/gals get outed.

[Futurecollector]

There are still personal income taxes.

For our small congregation as a board member I can say not enough. People dont realize how busy a pastor can be. Just between shut in members, hospital visits, counseling, outreach, and etc every day our pastor is swamped emotionally and physically. Mega churches with a staff, recourses, and countless volunteers may be a different story.

Ministry is almost always long hours low pay. It's a calling.

Churches are non profit. All Americans pay income taxes. Even Clergy.

Should churches be allowed non profit status is a better question. Some religions use the non profit status illegally for questionable church...

Nascar drivers don't reveal their wages either.

Several years ago it was a big deal because Jeff Gordon was going to have to make his income known during his divorce to Brooke Sealey. She wanted half of his assets. They must have worked something out because I don't remember ever hearing the dirty details.

If any of the above are getting a salary (for God's work), then they're doing it wrong!!
