By the way, the salary that our deacons set for us was way more than if we had set one ourselves. They are very generous, and we don't feel like we are employees. They totally respect Eddie as the one in charge.

Sherri, I believe your case is like the majority of cases where the board sets the salary. A pastor would probably be more conservative on what he set as his own salary as compared to what a board would set for him.
I know that for years Pastor Hardwick has turned down huge salary increases suggested by the board.
