A charge may receive minimum salary assistance at the recommendation of the district superintendent and
approval by the Clergy Support Team. All charges receiving assistance must be able to pay at least 65% of the
recommended base salary and have paid all conference apportionments in full the year prior to application. The
charge must also pay insurance for the clergyperson and provide adequate housing. If the charge exceeds the
$2,400 utility allowance, it should be accomplished by paying the utilities directly. Charges receiving minimum
salary support must pay at least 65% of the minimum salary with the Clergy Support Team paying the balance.
Those minimum amounts for full-time charges are:

It is expected that by the time a charge has been on minimum salary assistance for five years, it should be self-
sufficient. If such is not the case, the Cabinet should give consideration to charge realignment. Salary supplement
support for missional purposes including the appointment of clergy in support of the value of diversity within
the conference is available in special cases upon recommendation of the District Superintendent and approved
by the Executive Committee of the Clergy Support Team. Local church treasurers should be informed that
apportionments for “bishops, district superintendents, conference claimants, and the Equitable Compensation
Fund” (Episcopal Fund, Superintendents Fund, Clergy Support Fund, Equitable Compensation Fund, Moving
Expense Fund and Ministerial Education Fund) shall be paid in each pastoral charge “exactly proportional to the
amount paid on the clergy base compensation. (¶622, 817.3, 2008 Book of Discipline)
PENSIONS
The Pre-1982 annuity rate recommended to the Missouri Annual Conference by the Conference Board of Pensions
for 2010 is $500.00 per service year. This reflects an increase of $10.00 or 2.04% over the 2009 approved rate.
Note: The recommendation by the General Board of Pensions is that the annuity rate for pre-1982 service be an
amount that is between 0.9% and 1.0% of the Conference Average Compensation (CAC). The Missouri Conference
compensation for 2010 is computed to be $58,296. The Annuity Rate recommended for 2010 will be .86% of the
CAC.
In 2010, churches will be directly billed by the conference for participants under Episcopal appointment for current
service under terms of the Clergy Retirement Security Plan (CRSP). The amount billed will be a percentage of
the clergyperson’s compensation. The percentage will be fixed annually by the Clergy Support Team based on the
funding amount required by the General Board of Pension and Health Benefits. For 2010, the percentage will be
12.22% of the clergyperson’s compensation.
In 2010, the Comprehensive Protection Plan (CPP) part of the pension plan will be directly billed to churches. The
amount billed will be a percentage of compensation as determined by the General Board of Pensions and Health
