Items previously included on the Pastoral Support Form as part of the ‘Total Budget for this Position’ included
reimbursable items (travel, continuing education, and other professional expenses). These are not items of
compensation if they are reimbursed under an accountable reimbursement plan. All churches are encouraged to
establish accountable reimbursement plans. For assistance with budgeting and planning, we have listed
reimbursable items and parsonage utilities here. (Please note also that the Table II Financial Report to the
Annual Conference does include reimbursable items in the section “Pastoral Support—Local Church.”) For
information on accountable reimbursement policy, visit www.gcfa.org.
