Church payroll and the minister's W-2: which products can produce one
A minister is an employee for income tax and self-employed for Social Security. The four gates a payroll product has to pass, prices read 29 July 2026, and the vendors that refused.
The shelves
sermons, worship, bulletins, communications, calendars, groups, youth, kids, church growth, and software. Each shelf has a page holding the posts filed there and the tools that belong with them.
- Sermons Series ideas, single-text prompts, and the five study steps that come before an outline.
- Worship Two complete orders of service, four weeks of Advent readings, and the dates of the Christian year.
- Bulletins A seven-part page order, three formats, an inside-spread checklist, and a cut list for tight weeks.
- Communications Sixteen announcement examples, newsletter structure, texting consent rules, and social posts written out.
- Calendars A weekly rhythm, a sixty-minute monthly planning session, and the seasons those plans sit inside.
- Groups Reading plans for John, Ephesians, the Psalms, and Genesis 1-11, with a six-step way to lead any of them.
- Youth Games with rules, supplies, and running time, plus the guardrails that protect students.
- Kids Five-day VBS themes with one doctrine per day, safety rules, and follow-up for visiting families.
- Church growth Attendance, assimilation, and giving handled without church-growth-movement framing.
- Software Church management systems, giving platforms, and website tools, reviewed with the flaws named.
