Serving the changing Church through the 2025 Benefits Plan
The Reverend Dr. Frank Clark Spencer, President of The Board of Pensions of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), explains the need for an updated dues structure and outlines the new dues packages that take effect Jan. 1, 2025.
Benefits that serve more
The 2025 Benefits Plan gives congregations the flexibility to structure a benefits package that meets their unique needs and the needs of their pastor.
Why update the Benefits Plan?
Designed 40 years ago for a different type of pastoral leadership and a different family structure, the current dues structure is outdated and does not support today’s congregations.

63%
of newly ordained ministers not enrolled in the Benefits Plan from 2007 to 2021 are women.
Image
28%
of small congregations (150 members or fewer) have installed pastoral leadership.

20%
of African American churches have installed pastoral leadership.

Living by the Gospel
Living by the Gospel details the benefits that are available through the 2025 Benefits Plan and how they work together with the education and assistance programs to provide support. The reports in Living by the Gospel can guide meaningful conversation as congregations and ministers engage in faithful decision-making about 2025 benefits.
Breakdowns of data by gender, age, position, and congregation size provide callouts:
- A gap between the average salaries for men and women enrolled in the Benefits Plan persists, although the gap is narrowing among younger ministers.
- Smaller PC(USA) congregations are more likely than larger congregations not to have a minister in an installed position
