They aren’t. Most corporate benefits are better. Church HR is stuck in the 1990s

Is it true that seminary/institute teachers make $50k annually? That sounds low

That's in line with a first year teacher salary. It's a 9 or 10 month contract.

Nah, Church benefits are awesome. The pay is comparable to K-12 teachers ...

No, they pay competitively with jr high and high school teachers in the area.

Yeah, they basically match their K-12 teacher counterparts, and it's not much.
