We recommend that the following be adopted as resolutions by this 108th Annual Conference:
WHEREAS: We strongly believe it is the Scriptural responsibilities of the church to adequately meet the needs of its pastors, (Matthew 10:10; I Corinthians 9:7-15; Galatians 6:6; Philippians 4:10-19; I Timothy 5:17-18), therefore be it
RESOLVED: That we encourage each church to increase its pastor’s salary at least 5% above the previous year’s salary, and further
RESOLVED: That it is the consensus of this Annual Conference that the minimum salary adequate for a pastor serving a Bible Fellowship Church including benefits is $20,950 for the 1991-92 year.
