Yes. (but I'm curious, as opposed to what?)

That would vary, depending on the level of education, whether it's a full-time position, the economic status of those he ministers to, and other benefits being offered.

If he is a professional then I think his wages should be comparable to the salaries of the other professionals in the church he ministers to. At least that would be a starting point for board to review. I am also assuming the church has funds available and is a giving church - if not then it's a moot point.
