Legislative Item 109: IGRC Spending Plan Supplement Narrative Subject : 2026 Spending Plan Proposal Supplemental Narrative - $7,304,147 Submitted by : Council on Finance and Administration Clergy Support and Administration Apportionment –$4,713,145 Equitable Compensation – $38,000 Equitable Compensation serves the local church by assisting with pastor salary expenses when there is potential for church growth, or a transition is taking place. The financial amount and the time-period of support a church/charge receives is requested by the Cabinet, approved by the Commission on Equitable Compensation and distributed by the Treasurer’s office to the local church or charge. Moving Subsidy – Retirees & Voluntary Transition – $42,750 The moving subsidy serves the local church in the smooth transition from a retiring pastor to their new pastor. Retiring pastors no longer have a receiving church to pay for their move. This fund provides a retiring pastor the ability to move out of the parsonage, so the new pastor can move in. Since 2014, it includes funding for pastors who elect to exit active ministry with the Voluntary Transition Program.
