How we build these numbers
Most ministry salary pages are surveys from years ago or a guess with a dollar sign. Ours are computed directly from compensation posted on live job listings across our boards, the same listings you can apply to.
- ✓Only listings with employer-posted compensation are counted
- ✓No stat is published below a sample of 5 listings
- ✓Hourly and salary comp normalized to annual full-time equivalent
- ✓Recomputed weekly; every stat shows its n and refresh date
