Church Employee Incentives
A preacher friend asked me for some ideas of what incentives he could offer his full-time staff to let them know how much they are appreciated. Being a church, he was interested in ideas that weren't going to break their budget.
I started a list of the incentives that I've heard that some churches offer (btw--some of these are not inexpensive).
--Friday’s off (i.e. office closed on Fridays with phones answered by part-time receptionist)
--Birthday Bonus Day--Employee gets to take a day off in the month of his/her birthday.
--Spiritual Development Days--Employee is given 5 days a year for spiritual development (i.e. 5 days for an spiritual retreat)
--Cafeteria plan
--Flexible Spending Account
--Pre-Tax Dependent Day Care
--Supplemental Life, Health, and Dental Insurance
--Ministry Days--Employee is given 5 days a year to be devoted to ministry elsewhere.
--One mission trip every 5 years (paid by church)
--Sabbatical
What incentives have you heard of that churches are offering their full-time staff?
I'll post the best ideas.

My church gives me a Spiritual Retreat day every month. They also fill up my gas tank once a month, plus pay the gas for any ministry related trips (Camp, meetings, lunches etc.)
They give me a $200.00 a month expense account and $200.00 a year for my personal library
