Fresh research released from Leadership Network, April 2009
Since our 2008 Salary Report released in September, the U.S. economy has taken a downward turn. In an effort to get an accurate picture of the church's current economic outlook, Leadership Network asked identical questions about the economy's impact in a survey of executive pastors conducted in January, 2009. A comparison of the responses led to several surprises. In addition to Leadership Network's own statistical analysis, this report includes summaries and references to other recent research on church economics.

Inside the World of Executive Pastors: Leadership Network's 2009 Survey By Colleen Pepper
Cost: Free Download
Executive pastors (also known as director, chief of staff, or church administrator) face unique struggles and challenges, often filling a role at the church's most strategic level.
What does a "typical" week look like for an executive pastor? How does their role change with their church's size? What factors help them most in having a successful relationship with the senior pastor and with other staff? Where do they struggle most?
These and other findings come from a survey conducted in January 2009, which drew responses from 555 executive pastors serving in congregations where weekly attendance ranges from 100 to 23,000.
