Full participation in the Wesleyan Pension Fund by the local church on behalf of all pastors in expected in the plan of support of all pastors. The obligation. responsibility and liability for both health insurance premiums and employer contributions to WPF belong solely to the local church.

least $200.00/year for books, periodicals, and tapes he/she has purchased to deepen his/her understanding of God's Word, enrich his/her spiritual life and sharpen his/her pastoral skills. b.

PENSION: Each church shall contribute an amount equal to 12% of the pastor's annual salary and housing to the pastor's pension as directed by the pastor in keeping with Wesleyan Pension Fund policy. 5. SABBATICAL LEAVE GUIDELINES (Adopted Conference 2003) A Sabbatical leave is a resource for Pastors and their families to experience an extended time away from the routines of normal ministry and daily life. It is intended to be a separate time away from the local church and not part of the Pastor's vacation time. Pastors need to replenish and restore what has been depleted by day-to- day giving of oneself and ministry demands. The Sabbatical leave is intended to provide an avenue of special renewal for the pastor in a different context and at a different pace from Pastoral ministry. It is our hope that a deeper relationship with the Lord, a clearer understanding of God's vision for the Church and a fresh perspective for his/her ministry should be realized from the Sabbatical leave. Recognizing that normal routines often do not provide for reflection and renewal of the vision and mission of the Pastor's ministry, the church may provide a Sabbatical leave for the Pastoral staff in keeping with the following guidelines: a. The Senior Pastor or any member of the church's pastoral staff, in consultation with the Local Board of Administration and the District Superintendent, may be granted a Sabbatical leave as follows: i. Up to a three-month Sabbatical leave after six years of continuous service with the present local church. ii. Up to a further three-month Sabbatical leave after four more years of continuous service with the same local church. b. In the case of a multi-staff (pastor) situation, only one pastor may be on Sabbatical leave at the same time except where the spouse is a member of the Pastoral staff. c. The Pastor's proposal and plan for the Sabbatical leave shall be drawn up by the Pastor with the input and approval of the D.S. and LBA prior to the Sabbatical leave being granted. d. On return from the Sabbatical leave, the Pastor shall report in writing to the LBA, describing to what extent his/her planned activity was met, the immediate personal and professional benefits that he/she obtained and the anticipated impact on his/her ministry in the coming two years. A copy of this report should also be given to the D.S. by the Pastor in order to assist the DBA/DBMD in assessing the on-going merits of Sabbatical leaves. e. Vacation time cannot be reduced because of the Sabbatical leave nor will it be used to extend the Sabbatical leave. f. The timing of the Sabbatical leave shall take into consideration the needs of the congregation, the scheduling needs of the Pastor, the reliability of the stated objectives, the probable relevance of the Pastor's future ministry and needs of his/her church. g. There must be no hiring of permanent pastoral staff or major shift of ministry focus during a Senior Pastor's Sabbatical leave. h. The LBA, in consultation with the Senior Pastor and the D.S., shall arrange for an Interim Pastor or Pastoral staff member to assume the responsibilities of the Senior Pastor while he/she is on Sabbatical leave.

i. The financial support of the Pastor during the Sabbatical leave will include full salary and benefits. Where financial hardship exists in smaller congregations, a reduced period of Sabbatical leave or a prorated mutually agreed to financial package (approved by Pastor, LBA and D.S.) may have to be considered. At least four months of advance notice for a planned Sabbatical leave must be given to allow the LBA ample time to prepare a financial plan and present it to the D.S. for his approval. j. In the case of a crisis situation in the life of a pastor, some of these guidelines may be waived or altered at the discretion of the D.S., in agreement with the LBA. The above guidelines would apply to the District Superintendent with the understanding that the process would involve the General Superintendent and the DBA. 6. MOVING EXPENSES: The churches calling pastors are to pay their moving expenses. 7. PASTORAL FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE: a. All financial assistance from the District for a pastor's salary will be paid monthly to the Local Church Treasurer, who shall in addition to the salary designated by the Local Church Conference, remit same to the pastor. This assistance shall be reported by the Local Church Treasurer to Revenue Canada on a T-4, as salary and insurable for Canada Pension and Unemployment Insurance purposes. This assistance shall NOT be shown as income on the Local Church Statistical Report of the District Conference. b. All aid to churches or pastors will be contingent upon the following: a. Receipt of all statistical reports: monthly, quarterly, annually or such others as may be necessary to keep the District informed. b. Full payment of United Stewardship Fund (General, Education, District) unless assigned relief by the D.B.A. or the District Conference. c. When aid is granted: 1. It will begin with the start of the new Fiscal Year, May 1, unless otherwise designated; and subject to review every six months, and subject to adjustment if current information makes it advisable. 2. Pastoral salary aid will take into consideration the financial ability of the Local Church and the effort being made by it to upgrade the pastoral salary level. 3. The amount assigned is maximum and includes designated funds for that purpose from other church, etc., as channeled through the District Treasurer. 4. District Assistance: It is recommended that no church should receive District Assistance for more than 5 consecutive years, and that assistance be reduced 20% per year from the time of its institution, except in those cases reviewed and approved by the District Board of Administration. 5. Re assistance to Churches: It is recommended that in order to strengthen and help any church with a total income of less than $40,000 per year, or receives District assistance, the District Board .of Administration reassess the organizational status of the local church. This might be particularly useful in those cases where District appointment of pastor and other supervision might enable the District to give help with leadership, supplemental finances, and other positive direction. 8. PASTORAL HOUSING: a. Each church shall supply all full-time pastoral staff with suitable housing, heat, utilities and telephone (personal long distance calls excepted). In lieu of these, on mutual agreement between the church and pastor, a housing allowance may be paid.

b. All residences owned by local churches shall be supplied with a stove (electric or gas), refrigerator, washer and dryer. If these are presently owned by the pastor, they may be sold to the local church if mutu-ally agreeable. These appliances shall in any event, be in place by the arrival of the next pastor. (It is recommended that living rooms and dining rooms be furnished with drapes of a neutral shade, suitable for most furnishings). c. The Local Board of Trustees shall inspect church-owned residences, at least annually, preferably semi-annually, in company and in consultation with the pastor. A report, with recommendations as to changes, renovations, redecorating, repairs, etc., shall then be made to the Local Board of Administration. 9. PASTORAL VACATIONS: a. Pastors of churches, persons in District Administration or other District services, serving full-time, shall be granted minimum annual vacations, which are not accumulative, based on service within the Wesleyan Church (or equivalency service) as follows: 0-6 months: up to 1 week (on a pro-rated basis). 6 months to 1 year: up to 2 weeks (on a pro-rated basis). 1 to 5 years : 2 weeks. 6 to 10 years: 3 weeks. 11-19 years: 4 weeks. 20 - years: 5 weeks Additional vacation time may be granted as mutually agreed upon by a pastor and a local Church. Vacation times do not include Conference and Family Camp, which pastors are expected to attend and participate in. Written notice must be given if unable to attend. b. Outside Speaking Engagements Each pastor is to be granted the privilege of accepting a call to minister in special services for two weeks (or two Sundays) elsewhere, providing the time is suitable to the pastor’s local Church and adequate pulpit supply can be attained. 10. PASTORAL VOTE: The Pastoral Vote shall be taken throughout the District during the month of March. The vote result shall be communicated to the District Superintendent as soon as possible after it is taken, and the decision of the pastor relative to the vote, no later than seven days after official notification of a call by the local church.

Each church (and Silver Lake Wesleyan Camp) provided with two free copies as well as an electronic version. Additional copies may be purchased as needed. 2.

3. D.B.M..D. POLICY RECOMMENDATIONS: a. It is recommended that those completing requirements for ordination and going into post- gradu-ate studies be only .recommended for ordination providing they are going into full-time studies with the objective of returning into full-time ministry. b. It is recommended that the District Board of Ministerial Development assume an ongoing role in counseling as it relates to its function with pastors, in conjunction with the District Superintendent; and that the D.B.M.D. meet either on a regular basis or an on-call basis. 4. EFFECTIVE DATE OF SALARY CHANGES: All salary and benefit changes enacted by the District Conference shall become effective retroactive to May 1st of that year. 5. PASTORAL HOUSING: One of the following two arrangements is to be made when the District/Local Church makes a loan to personnel and gives a housing allowance in lieu of providing housing: − A loan may be given to the individual interest free, providing the local church does not have an inter-est free loan from the District. Upon the termination of the office/pastorate the loan shall be repaid in full, first, from the proceeds of the property, if sold; and secondly, (providing depreciation is not due to ne-glect or misuse) this shall include a portion (to be mutually agreed upon) of the appreciation or deprecia-tion of the property, as the percentage of the loan is related to the original purchase price. − In the event the property is not sold on termination of employment, current market value shall be a basis of repayment for the loan appreciation or depreciation. The foregoing assumes the housing allow-ance given is sufficient to cover repayment of the principal, amortized over a minimum of 20 years, and interest on the balance of the original purchase price of the property, plus taxes and maintenance in the ongoing. The loan arrangement should be documented and registered by a proper legal instru-ment, as is suitable for each particular situation. − A loan may be given, subject to repayment over a specified period of time, with interest paid on same as mutually agreeable to the individual and the Board(s) involved. In this event there would be no appreciation or depreciation for the lending party in the event of the sale of the property. At termination of employment, any unpaid portion of the loan shall be paid in full. In some cases, it may be to the advantage of the pastor to pay interest, and have same included in the housing allowance, since interest on an interest-free loan is a taxable benefit. Housing allowances for clergymen, on the other hand, are acceptable as tax deduction and therefore tax exempt. 6. NOMINATING COMMITTEE a) At least one of the lay representatives nominated for the District Board of Administration will be a woman. b) All pastors, in consultation with the LBA, are requested to provide names of eligible candidates who are prepared to let their names stand as nominees. c) The nominating committee will provide delegates to the Annual District Conference with a short biographical outline of all nominees.
