How much are Pastors paid in churches in Nigeria ? Which church pays the highest? Is it RCCG,Winners, Deeper life or MFM?
According to investigations done by reputable Nigerian Newspaper, Punch in 2017, these are the salaries of pastors in different churches .

RCCG
Newly ordained full-time pastors with National Diplomas are currently being paid N25,000 a month while their counterparts with a university degree receive N35,000 as their monthly salaries. Full time Area pastor earns a minimum monthly salary of N40,000 while a full-time Provincial pastor is entitled to a minimum monthly salary of N85, 000. According to the church’s structure, an area pastor is in charge of about five or six parishes while a provincial pastor is in charge of about 100 parishes or a state.

MFM
Pastors in the church’s branches averagely earned between N20,000 and N25,000 monthly. But there are also few newly ordained ministers who assist pastors-in-charge at zones and regions during deliverance programmes. These set of ministers get about N15,000 monthly.A Zonal pastor earns between N40,000 and N45,000. Regional pastors get about N80,000 monthly

WINNERS(Living faith)
Newly ordained pastor outside Lagos in Winners Chapel receives N35,000 as monthly salary while new pastors in Lagos earn between N45,000 and N55,000. An area pastor with some years of experience collects N85,000 per month while a resident pastor (state pastor) now collects N200,000 per month

Deeper Life Bible Church
95 per cent of its members in Lagos are part-time workers who receive no salary. The church encourages its pastors to work, so full time pastors are a rarity. The most the part-time pastors get is N5, 000 for recharge cards. There are volunteer full-time pastors who are not on the payroll of the church. Overseers and senior pastors’ salaries range from N2.5m to N6m per annum.

Believers Love World ( Christ Embassy)
Newly ordained Pastor earns N40,000 a month.

My submission
I find it difficult to understand how general overseers fly private jets/helicopters while their junior pastors are paid peanuts! Fathers of faith need to run the church like Jesus and the apostles did. Christ wasnt different from
His disciples and that was why Judas was needed to betray Him!

Acts 4:32-35
32 All the believers were one in heart and mind. No one claimed that any of their possessions was their own, but they shared everything they had. 33 With great power the apostles continued to testify to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And God’s grace was so powerfully at work in them all 34 that there were no needy persons among them. For from time to time those who owned land or houses sold them, brought the money from the sales 35 and put it at the apostles’ feet, and it was distributed to anyone who had need

It's not any wonder that the church organisations have so much money, they pay their pastors peanuts and keep the bulk for the daddy GOs. What a travesty.

They are not even paying living wages for crying out loud!

Is this a joke or what?




No wonder most of them stay for a while and leave to open their business centres churches.

Pay your tithe sir.

40k in 2017 was still peanuts! How can a family man support his family with 40k in 2017?!

In 2017, a new teacher at a local school could get 30k per month.

It is well

Most churches don't employ pastor in full time bases.

They are free to have other jobs and some are entitled to the tithes collected every service day.

Am not in support of the pay cos it low even as that then but on the other hand some pastor preside over churches that the members aren't up to 30 people.

entitled to a portion of the tithe for churches where all of it isn't sent to the HQ. Even at that it makes some of them talk about money twice a month

Hmmmmmmmmmm, very bad, that's why I don't want to a pastor

I don't know about any other churches but in MFM tithes belong to the Area pastor and running cost is removed from the offering before sending remaining to HQ.

Inside that nonsense money, them go still pay tithe? Are you kidding? Deeper life na slavery. Kumuyi the old foolish man... greatest Yahoo Yahoo of all time

Where did you get your information?

This should be fun

Poor renumeration is one of the reasons we have many Pentecostal churches or churchpreneur which is causing a lot of damage to christiedom. There are too much of doctrines of men in Christianity today and very unfortunate.For your data at affordable prices check my signature for my contact

So their rewards is now on earth not in heaven anymore

Jesus dint even promise anyone that he sent into the world preaching that salary will be paid to them.
These pastors should be happy they have something to fall back on

Their reward is in heaven . The ones that want their reward to be on earth normally leave their church , start their own church and become the GO , this group don't wait for their reward in heaven

Are you called? If yes, it's better to obey, remember Jonah and the big 🐟.

Politicians and sinners rewards dey on the earth here 😁😁😁😁😁😁

Chai!!poor salary

The calling is done by people not God {Matthew 10:11-13; 28:19-20; Luke 10:6; Act 1:8} God only use His holy spirit to direct the callers to those who are downhearted and seeking guidance! Act 8:26, 29

So if anyone says God directly called him today such a person is LYING!😟
