Spring Evaluations and New Salaries
We appreciate the ministry of supervision you provide our missionaries! One time a year, Reliant missionaries and supervisors evaluate their jobs and review their performance. After evaluations are completed, Reliant Missionary Resources and local supervisors work together to set salaries for the coming year. This year, we will also have the Reliant Missionaries do an evaluation of their supervisor. This is meant to bring open communication between missionary and supervisor and to be a safe place for talking through the supervisor/missionary relationship.

The Reliant board has approved a 3% raise for all Reliant missionaries for 2017. Then if a missionary seems ready to move up into a new Missionary Level, has been ordained or commissioned or otherwise seems to warrant a higher salary increase based off your review, Mike SwanSwann, Missionary Resources director, will discuss those with your church/ministry leadership in NovemberMay.
Salary levels and salaries will be determined by several key factors. To determine the Ministry Level, we consider scope and burden of responsibility, formal training and years of experience related to the role. New salaries are based on these factors, as well as cost-of-living factors (inflation and geography) and job performance.
