It varies from denomination to denomination. Some Pastors recieve very little if anything at all. Others, generally who have a larger congregation may receieve a much larger salary. Often it is based on what the pastor's duties actually are. With a large congregation this may be a full time job. For smaller congregations it may take up much less time.
Mooching... I can't believe that with the hours of work and responsibility that a Pastor has placed on his shoulders that someone would call it mooching.. I work in data communication for the State. I work hard but I guess I am mooching off the tax payers.. Some are very ignorant about what work is.. Jim

My brother is a pastor and his church gives him a salary.
As carpenters, painters, retail market, farming, etc...
their church pays them a lil bit... but usually housing utilities and all that stuff is provided for them by thier church!
