We use PowerChurch for our multi-site church. We have one leadership team and three church sites. Using PowerChurch Plus new grouping in payroll, we are able to assign percentages of each pastor’s time to each of the three sites. Each site has its own fund and its own budget. By dividing up the pastor’s payroll and housing, we can get a pretty accurate reading on how each location is doing financially.

Drawbacks. We have to cut checks for each part of the pastor’s time from each grouping, which means some pastors receive one, two, or even three separate paychecks. Oh well. The system works. And, although the pastors aren’t making more money, they are receiving more paychecks!
