In this report, we explore systematic salary differences between men and women elders in the North Carolina and Western North Carolina Annual Conferences of the United Methodist Church. We find that, while the starting salaries and salary growth of men and women clergy have been equal since 2010, there still exist gender disparities in the salaries of Methodist clergy in North Carolina. These inequities stem from decades earlier and have reverberated through the careers of more experienced women clergy. For this reason, the disparities that exist today are primarily between men and women who started ministry at least a couple of decades ago.
