Commission on Equitable Compensation

Grant Recipient Site Visitation Policy

The Equitable Compensation Commission (ECC) is responsible for using the funds so that there

is measurable evidence of increased growth, health, and effectiveness of the local congregation that

receives the pastor and the funding. Growth is defined as an increase in membership, average worship

attendance, participants in mission work, participants in spiritual formation, or increased offering.

Health is defined as the ability to work together to achieve the goals of the church. Effectiveness is

defined as the development and execution of a clear short term and long term vision, a mission

statement, and ministry action plan.

The ECC grants funds on an annual basis for each conference year. Churches making

application or receiving Equitable Compensation funds may be selected for a site visit. The

Commission will meet with the pastor and lay leadership. The District Superintendent will be

consulted during the process. When considering the application process, the schedule of the site visit

must be considered. Subsequent grant applications may also be selected for a visit, depending upon the

discretion of the Commission after receiving the application for further funding.
