Major, major, major! This is one of the biggest things we do to help ministers, elders, and church leaders and for it to be most useful we really need you to participate and help us tell others about it. In 201_ we did the largest minister’s salary survey that has been done in churches of Christ. Over 1,200 of our ministers took the survey.
