|ACCOUNTABLE REIMBURSEMENT POLICY |

|The      United Methodist Church (“Church”) recognizes that certain expenses of ministry paid by the pastor/staff person are part of the ordinary and necessary |

|cost of ministry in this Church/charge. Accordingly, we hereby establish an accountable reimbursement policy to defray them directly. The reimbursement account |

|shall be an annual line in the Church budget. It shall be in addition to the pastor’s annual salary and housing. The reimbursement account for 20      shall be |

|$      . |

| |

|The following requirements for the policy are binding upon the Church and upon     , its pastor/staff person. |

| |

|Accordingly, the Church hereby establishes an accountable reimbursement policy, pursuant to IRS regulations and upon the following terms and conditions: |

|The pastor/staff person shall be reimbursed from the reimbursement account for his /her ordinary, necessary and reasonable business expenses incurred in the |

|conduct of the ministry for and on behalf of the Church. The following expenses are budgeted in this accountable reimbursement policy, as suggested for the |

|employment needs of the pastor/staff person. |

|The committee on SPR chairperson, Church payroll person or treasurer, (as designated by the Church) must be given an adequate accounting of each expense, including|

|but not limited to a statement of expense, account-book diary or other similar record showing the amount, date, place, business purpose and business relationship |

|involved. Such documentation shall include receipts for all items of $75 or more (a church may set a letter amount). Appropriate documents, cash receipts, canceled|

|checks, credit card sales slips and contemporaneous records for those non-receipt expenses less than $75 must be attached to each expense report. A log of total |

|miles per day and enumeration of their general purpose shall suffice to substantiate automobile mileage, but under no circumstances will commuting mileage between |

|the pastor’s home and Church office be reimbursed. Copies of the documentary evidence and expense report shall be retained by both the pastor/staff person and the |

|Church. The committee on SPR chairperson (or treasurer) shall be responsible for approving the expense. The committee on SPR chairperson (or treasurer) shall |

|exercise his/her discretion regarding the adequacy of the substantiation and the appropriateness of any reimbursement. Questions arising in these areas will be |

|resolved by the SPR chairperson’s or treasurer’s decision, subject to the review and approval of the committee on SPR/committee on finance. |

|It is the intention of this policy that reimbursements will be paid after the expense has been incurred by the pastor/staff person. However, should circumstances |

|require payment of an advance for any particular anticipated expense, the pastor/staff person must account for the expense and return any reimbursement within 30 |

|days of the issuance of the advance. Any excess advance must be returned to the Church before any additional advances are provided to the pastor/staff person. |

|Budgeted amounts not spent must not be paid as a salary bonus or other personal compensation. If such payments are made, the entire amount of the accountable |

|reimbursement policy will be taxable income to the pastor/staff person. The Church will be required by law to report that amount as part of the pastor’s/staff |

|person’s compensation. Disposition of any unspent balances remains at the discretion of the committee on finance/the council/charge conference in building the |

|budget for the next Church year. |

|It is understood by the various parties that all elements of this resolution must be carefully followed to prevent the Church from being required by regulation to |

|list total payments for the following items on IRS information reports (W-2/1099-MISC) as “includable compensation.” The primary responsibility of expense |

|reporting is for the pastor/staff person to the committee on SPR chairperson, church payroll person and/or treasurer. |

PASTOR’S PROFILE

NAME: DATE:

CHARGE: DISTRICT:

I. Professional Skills and Experience

a. What brings you the most joy or fulfillment in the doing of ministry within your present appointment?

b. What area(s) in the doing of ministry do you find the most frustrating or find yourself struggling with the most?

What steps have you taken to address this frustration or struggle?

II. Family and Personal Life

a. As the Cabinet considers appointments this year, what information concerning you or your family do you think the Cabinet needs to know? (Spouse’s employment, children’s ages or grades in school, special needs of family members, etc.)

b. Are there any limits that you or your family place on your itineration? If so, what are they?

c. Are there some personal joys and/or hurts that you want to share?

III. The Relationships Present in Healthy Churches

a. Relationship with God—Worship declares the worth of God. It is inspiring and meaningful, drawing and connecting our lives to God’s life, deepening and stretching our faith. Reflect on the worship life of your congregation(s):

b. Relationship with one another—People are enthusiastic about their church, and experience it as a community of caring relationships where they can grow and develop their God-given gifts. What signs of these graces do you see? In what ways are they being developed and enhanced?

c. Relationship with the community—Members see and respond to the needs in the community, and are perceived by the community as inviting and hospitable to guests and new people. What feedback do you receive from people of the community, guests, and visitors?

d. Relationship with the connection—Members are aware and appreciative of the world-wide connection wherein the Conference and General Church resource and strengthen the local church, while the local churches together through apportionments are in mission and ministry worldwide in ways we couldn’t be alone. What strengths/weaknesses do you see in this area? In what ways will you work to strengthen this relationship?

IV. Ministry Reflection

a. Choose the event or situation.

1. Think about the many events or situations that have had a significant impact on your ministry.

2. From the many, select one that has current concern for you and in which you have a strong investment of emotional, mental and/or spiritual energy.

3. Both positive and negative experiences in ministry make appropriate cases.

b. Preparing to write.

1. Recall as much as you can of the details involved in the event or situation; “feel” your way into it as fully as possible.

2. Make some notes or write a reasonable full account of the event or situation, which you can later reduce to a brief narrative, in order to make sure you have it accurately in mind.

3. Analyze the event or situation, utilize the outline for writing (see c below); make some notes for the five categories.

c. Writing the Ministry Reflection report. (To be attached to this Profile)

1. Information – Describe the event or situation in a way that a reader can get a mental picture of it. What happened? Who was involved? What was your role? How did you and others respond? What was the result?

2. Evaluation – Relate the effects of the event or situation on you and other people involved. What emotions did you experience? How did the other people react? How has it affected you personally? How has it affected you professionally? What are the key issues?

3. Analysis – Sketch your interpretation of the event or situation as an occasion for ministry. What made it ministry? What made it positive or negative? What factor or forces were at work to influence it? What personal knowledge or experience does it challenge? What options are possible as a continuing ministry response?

4. Theological Reflection – State the theological meanings found in the event or situation and in your response to it. What personal beliefs and/or convictions are evidenced in or challenged by it? How did or could your religious experience shape your ministering response? What biblical, historical, and/or cultural insights relate to it? What “truth” informs you? What ultimate concerns do you have concerning it?

5. Commitment – Set forth the implications growing out of the event or situation for your future ministry. How is it like what you might experience in the future? What have you learned from it? How can its benefits be continued or its hazards be avoided? What ministering response do you intend to make?

The Ministry Reflection Report should be one to two single-spaced, typed written pages.

Please attach the reflection report to this Profile.
