Vacation Guidelines

Vacation guidelines – One Region of the Missionary Church has recommended that the following guidelines be followed in the administration of vacation policy for full time Senior and Associate Ministers serving our churches:

2 weeks of vacation after 1 year of approved ministry

3 weeks of vacation after 7 years of approved ministry

4 weeks of vacation after 15 years of approved ministry

Regional or Local Boards may grant more vacation time based on fewer years of service than the guidelines state, as such “approved ministry” takes into consideration the number of years the pastor has been in ministry even before serving the current church.

Vacation time is exclusive of denominational and regional conferences and camps.
