1 Lutheran Church of Australia Victorian District Inc. (including Tasmania) POLICY DOCUMENT Title Theological Foundation / Constitution Alignment Relevant to Policy Statement HOUSING POLICY FOR PASTORS God s word teaches that generous remuneration is appropriate for those who labour for the gospel. Let the elders who rule well be considered worthy of double honour, especially those who labour in preaching and teaching; for the Scripture says, You shall not muzzle an ox while it is treading out the grain, and, The labourer deserves to be paid (1 Timothy 5:17,18). In the LCA, the provision of a parish house, or the payment of additional salary where the pastor owns his own house is an aspect of this generous remuneration. Pastors and parishes/congregations are counselled to discuss and negotiate matters with Christian love and respect for each other. In their dealings with parishes/congregations, pastors are warned against lording it over those in [their] charge (1 Peter 5:3), or being arrogant or quick-tempered (Titus 1:7). On the other hand, God appeals to members of parishes/congregations through his apostle to respect those who labour among you, and have charge of you in the Lord (1 Thessalonians 5:12). One reason for this is so that the pastor s work among his people will be a joy, not a burden (Hebrews 13:17). All pastors of the LCA 1.a For PARISH PASTORS the calling body shall provide a house according to church specifications. 1.b For NON-PARISH PASTORS the calling body shall provide a house. A Memorandum of Understanding as to the arrangements between the Parish and the Pastor shall be prepared and executed by both parties. (Refer to Attachment A hereto for sample document.) Exceptions NB: Part (b) does not stipulate a house according to church specifications. It recognises that this type of service is more permanent so the standards of housing in non-parish situations may be tailored to suit individual circumstances. In many instances the specification for church-owned houses is inappropriate for these cases, especially where there are no dependent children and/or a study is not required at home. 2.a Where the calling body or the pastor initiate the possibility of alternative housing arrangements and where there is mutual agreement, within the spirit of this policy, for the pastor to provide, purchase or retain his own home and live in it, the pastor shall be paid at the rate applicable where a house is not provided.
2 Such agreement is subject to the approval of the relevant District Church Council and shall be made prior to the acceptance of a call and remain in force for the duration of service within that parish or organisation. Other 2.b If a pastor elects to provide his own home, despite the calling body s provision of suitable housing, the salary payable shall be that applicable to the category where a house is provided. 3.a Note that the policies of the church take priority. If exceptional circumstances occur during a pastor s term of office within a parish, the employing body may initiate the option of alternative housing arrangements. In this event the same processes shall be followed as if the arrangement was made prior to the start of service within that parish. (However there must still be mutual agreement and district approval is required.) Housing standards for church manses Policy Ownership Policy Implementation Definitions References 3.b A pastor must never feel pressured by the calling/employing body to enter into any alternative arrangement. In the event that a pastor is unable to accept an alternative arrangement, for whatever reason, the church policy prevails. 3.c The calling/employing body must never feel pressured by the pastor into entering any alternative arrangement. At all times church policy takes priority. 3.d In the event of a dispute, the relevant District Church Council shall be consulted for advice. In general the following should be used as a guide. Bedrooms. Main with en-suite and walk-in robe. Bedrooms 2, 3 with built-in robes. Bedrooms 2, 3 & 4 should be large enough to contain 2 single beds and dresser. Lounge, dining room/area, Kitchen and family room should be included. Floor coverings, air-conditioning, rainwater tank and heating as appropriate should be provided. A double garage, either attached or not, as well as a garden tool shed (where appropriate) should also be provided. A family sized refrigerator, washing machine and lawn mower should be included. Where the church provides an office, there is still a need to provide one at the manse. However, where the office is to be provided at the manse, an appropriate study should be provided taking into account the requirements of the particular situation.
