Compensation Resources, Inc. (CRI) provides compensation and human resource consulting services to small- and mid-cap public companies, private, family-owned, and closely-held firms, as well as not-for-profit organizations. CRI specializes in executive compensation, sales compensation, pay-for-performance and incentive compensation, performance management programs, and expert witness services.

Combining a commitment to practical approaches with a dedication to quality, CRI has earned a reputation for providing sound business advice to its clients with creativity, resourcefulness, and professional accountability in all areas of service. We work closely with our clients to formulate a strategic direction for their compensation programs that will complement and enhance their ability to achieve the stated business objectives. Once developed, the strategy serves as the baseline upon which a client's compensation program can be evaluated, and the foundation for developing new programs. We create programs that are bold and imaginative, yet practical. Our experts are on top of the trends, yet based in sound practice. Our firm is large enough to get the job done quickly and effectively, while small enough to take a very personal and professional interest in each aspect of your company and program. To learn more about our consulting services, please call (877) 934-0505 or visit us at www.CompensationResources.com.

Dear Ministry Partner,

Christian Leadership Alliance and Compensation Resources, Inc. are pleased to present the results of the 2016 Compensation Survey Report for Christian Organizations. We thank each of the participating organizations for sharing their data.

The labor market puts pressure on compensation as qualified employees begin to explore opportunities for professional development and salary advancement, whether they stay with the organization or seek employment elsewhere. Many organizations look to competitive market data to understand their total rewards and to use that data to build programs that support retention, motivate performance, and support job growth. There continues to be a fine balance between providing total rewards that are competitive, motivational, and aid in retention, while remaining within the organization's financial capabilities.

This annual study continues to serve as a solid resource to Christian organizations by providing data on compensation and related pay practices within the faith-based industry. CRI's survey team led the efforts to compile the data and ensure that participants and purchasers of these results receive accurate, useful, and up-to-date compensation information. Please feel free to reach out to Diana Neelman at (201) 934-0505 x105 to address any questions or for additional support.

We would like to thank each of the participating organizations for their time and efforts in providing their input. Your continued support throughout the process has been greatly appreciated. If you have not participated in this survey, we hope that you will see this survey as a valuable tool and consider participating in the future.

If you have any comments or suggestions for future surveys or improvements to our current study, please let us know.

Sincerely,

Paul R. Dorf, APD Diana D. Neelman, CCP Chairman, Managing Director Principal, Executive Vice President Compensation Resources, Inc. Compensation Resources, Inc.

How the Study Was Conducted The study is a collaborative effort between Christian Leadership Alliance and Compensation Resources, Inc. The purpose of this study is to provide compensation data on benchmark positions specific to Christian organizations, along with information on practices related to bonuses, healthcare, vacation, and benefits.

All participant responses were collected, verified, and tabulated by Compensation Resources, Inc. The findings in this report are based on the responses of 123 organizations. All responses have been handled in the strictest confidence by Compensation Resources, Inc. As with any survey source, the data should be viewed as one source of information to use along with other forms of input. Data Accuracy and Integrity
