Worship Leader Salary EXPOSED: What Churches Really Pay

Worship Leader Salary EXPOSED: What Churches Really Pay
Here’s the real talk on worship leader salary and church musician pay in 2025—no fluff, just facts. I break down what churches really pay, the difference between stipends vs salaries, and what typically lands in a Worship Pastor job description (rehearsals, MD duties, production, team development). We’ll look at Houston & DFW pay data and pair it with the biblical basis for compensation—“the laborer is worthy of his wages” (1 Cor 9:14; 1 Tim 5:18)—so you can push past myths and ask for what’s fair. If you’ve been told “worship should be free,” this video shows why excellence requires investment and how churches can budget with integrity.

👉 What you’ll get: real-world pay ranges, responsibilities churches expect, and practical models for fair compensation—without the church politics.
If this helps, like, comment, and share with your team or board.
