CAROL STREAM, Ill., Feb. 9, 2011 /Christian Newswire/ -- Christianity Today International is conducting a national survey on church staff compensation now until the beginning of March. Survey findings will appear in the 2012-2013 Compensation Handbook for Church Staff.

Pastors, worship leaders, children's ministers, and all other persons employed by the church are urged to take this brief survey. Survey questions are related to individual positions as well as church demographics including questions on attendance, region, and denomination. Survey participants will receive a $15 credit towards dozens of downloadable resources at YourChurchResources.com redeemable upon completion of the survey. The survey can be accessed now at www.churchlawtoday.com/survey and will remain active until March 1, 2011.

The Compensation Handbook for Church Staff continues to provide church staff with a statistical framework for evaluating their present compensation packages, and establishes an objective standard for evaluating staff raises and changes in benefits.
