Compensation for church staff varies greatly by size of church, size of church staff, geographic area, urban versus suburban. Job descriptions for lead or teaching pastor, senior or associate pastor, and maybe church administrator might be similar across congregations but beyond that job descriptions and duties can vary greatly. For example one church could have a Master's level Worship Director and the next has a Choir director who assists with the worship ministry, or one Youth Director is an ordained pastor and has 100 youth and 2 part time staff working for him/her and the next is a part time Youth Coordinator who just got out of college and has 30 youth they work with.
