The Standing Commission on Clerical Compensation (SCCC) is your Diocesan resource on compensation matters including reporting minimum compensation compliance under Canon 74. Working with congregations to ensure that clergy are adequately, equitably, and correctly compensated, we strive to exemplify the Marks of Mission by assisting clergy and their congregations in Proclaiming the Good News of the Kingdom and Teaching, Nurturing and Baptizing New Believers.
The SCCC’s mandate also includes setting policies for Supply Clergy Rates, Clergy Sabbaticals, and to make its annual recommendation for the Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) to missions, parishes and institutions of the Diocese by November 1st of each year. SCCC is recommending to Convention 2023 a cost-of-living increase (COLA) of 5%. Click here to see full current year recommendation.
To fulfill our mission in the Diocese, the SCCC has created the annual Clergy Compensation Report which details current year compensation and benefits as well as the projection for the subsequent year. New streamlined forms for this report have been developed; recordings of two workshop sessions on the new reports are shown below. See the sidebar for links to the new reports for Full-Time Clergy and for Part-Time Clergy. We have also prepared various examples to assist congregations in completing their reports. PLEASE NOTE that a completed clergy compensation report is mandatory for all congregations, and is a required inclusion in the application for those mission churches seeking funding from the Board of Missions, and the application of any congregation seeking to meet with the Board of Consultation. The report is also required for the Diocesan Benefits Administrator to update pension information with the Church Pension Group.
Questions on compensation matters can be emailed to the SCCC. In addition, ALL completed clergy compensation reports should be submitted as an email attachment to the SCCC.
Fill out the simple form below and we will be in touch as soon as possible!
