In late 2022, PAM launched its first Salary Survey to support our members and churches across the country, offering insight into the lives and stories of musicians employed in churches. We invite you to add your voice to this year’s survey and to share it with your colleagues in music ministry.

​

This survey is open to all denominations and individuals serving God, not just Presbyterians. Your confidential responses, along with those of other PAM members, provide critical data that allows us to report on the current state of church musicians in the United States.

​

Thanks to the valuable time and insights of worship leaders like you, we are beginning to chronicle important trends in employment, leadership diversity, benefit offerings, and more. The findings from this year’s survey, alongside those from 2022-23, help church leaders and PAM members like yourself track these trends, compare experiences with peers, and ensure that church leadership has an accurate understanding of the state and value of church musicians. By completing this year’s survey, you will contribute to advancing PAM’s research and data, which benefits both you and the community you serve.

​

Thank you for your participation in this survey and for all the ways you engage with the Presbyterian Association of Musicians.
