About this year's report...
Now in year five, The National Youth Pastor Compensation Survey has had well over 5,000 respondents over its lifetime. The survey is brought to you by Chemistry Staffing, in association with The Youth Cartel and ChurchSalary.com.
Dan Navarra is the lead researcher and author of this report and serves Chemistry Staffing as a Church Coach where he helps churches find healthy long-term fits for key roles; Dan also has over fifteen years of pastoral experience. Additionally, a special thanks is well deserved for general editing done, as always, by Mark Oestreicher of The Youth Cartel; and for special input and analysis from Aaron Hill of Christianity Today’s ChurchSalary.com arm. The heart of this team has always been to empower youth workers to best understand their compensation and be equipped to have conversations about their field with their churches, ultimately leading to long-term health for both the youth workers and the ministries they lead. We really care about youth workers!
