What's our next step?

by Brenda Barton
(Lebanon, IL)

We became part-time pastor of a small, struggling church two years ago. It was agreed at the time that we would not receive a monetary salary until the church was more financially stable. We would however, live in the church parsonage & pay the utilities for it.

In the minutes at the end of 2014, it was discussed to begin paying a salary & establish a housing allowance. As of present, it is still pending and board members have changed. We have not applied for self-employment/opted out as of yet (2015) due to this.

What should be our next or most urgent plan of action ?
