In 2004, Prince asked New Creation Church to stop paying him a salary. The church's council members, however, refused his request.[15][16]
On October 5, 2008, in an interview with The Sunday Times, Prince, the executive chairman of the church council, while acknowledging that he was "well-paid," added that "money doesn't have a hold on me." He dismissed allegations that his salary was $50,000 a month, saying "It could have been $50,000 if I had not voluntarily taken all the pay cuts through the years.
There was a system of payment that would actually enrich me greatly but as the church grew, I refused to accept that system of payment."[3]
On March 30, 2009, The Straits Times reported that a check revealed that New Creation Church paid one employee between $500,000 and $550,000 in its last financial year of 2008. Singapore's Code of Governance for charities [17] requires all charities and non-profit organizations in Singapore to disclose top executives' salaries to the Commissioner of Charities. While the church would not confirm that the amount in question had been paid to Prince, church officials told The Straits Times that the church's policy is to "recognise and reward key contributors to the church and Senior Pastor Prince is the main pillar of our church's growth and revenue."The New Creation Church's income was reported to be $55.4 million for the financial year ending March 2008.[18]
On June 7, 2010, The Straits Times and Channel News Asia reported that Joseph Prince has not been on the church payroll since 2009
