Questions for those seeking a pastoral job in a church…

HOUSING

Who pays the rent?

Is there some place that I must / or must not live?
Am I expected to share a home with others, or does my family have our own living space?
If we share a home, how do we share living costs? Food? Utilities? Who does the cleaning? Cooking? Are there are boundaries? Quiet times? Rooms where kids and their toys should not be?
Am I expected to open my home for ministry? How often? Limits on size? Noise? Relations with neighbors.

FAMILY

Are you hiring 2 workers for one salary? Is my spouse also a ‘minister’ or can they just attend church and work in another job?
