I have a pastor who needs the following: a plan for a housing allowance; and accountable plans for travel and transportation, for pulpit supply (guest preacher when he is away) for continuing education, for clothing, and for supplies. I got from one of my professional organizations boiler plate language for my confidentiality agreements and for my engagement letters and I am thinking there is probably a source for the above but can anyone tell me what that source is? Does anyone have something to share? Thank you for any help.

Erchess,
Let me know exactly what you'd like and I'll send it over. Send me a PM with a fax # or email address and I'll get it to you, if I have what you need. -
National Church
If your pastor is in a mainstream religion and has a national or regional office, they probably have sample plans, boilerplate language, strong suggestions, or even bylaws/canons/regulations to follow. Have your pastor check with the finance office of his state/national church.
A good source is anything written by or presented by William F. Geisler out of San Anselmo, CA.
