Summary
After 70 years of ordaining women, the United Methodist Church in North Alabama is making strides toward pay and role parity. While women now make up nearly a third of clergy, they’re still underrepresented in top-paying positions—only 16% earn over $100K compared to 23% of men. But progress is coming: by 2026, appointments for women are expected to match men’s. The conference is actively supporting clergy income, especially in churches struggling to meet minimum salaries, ensuring fair compensation and leadership opportunities for all.
