Every year Baptist Churches of SA & NT provides a minimum recommended ministers stipend package, as the basis for payment to pastors and church workers. 

Churches can adapt the recommendation to suit the particular circumstances of the pastor and the church. 

This is currently based on the SA Teacher’s Enterprise Agreement 2018-2022 and has been approved by the Executive since 2007.
