Resources
We are updating the Benefits Plan dues structure to provide greater flexibility for congregations as they care for the well-being of their pastoral leadership. Check back regularly for new resources and tools.
The 2025 Decision Guide for Minister Benefits can help determine eligibility and costs for dues packages: Congregational Pastors Package, Transitional Pastor's Participation, and the Covenant Package.
Faithful Decision-Making e-learning series now available
The Faithful Decision-Making e-learning series is designed to equip pastoral leaders and employers — especially congregations — to make faithful decisions about benefits as one aspect of compensation, centered in A Theology of Benefits.
Dues scenarios
This resource provides examples with calculations of how the 2025 benefits packages apply to ministers with varying situations.

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
