We all have our favorites, for me it was men like Wilkerson and Ravenhill. Many love the teaching of John MacArthur, but I recently ran across his income statements..... John MacArthurs Salary For denying himself and picking up his cross part time, John MacArthur earns more than the President of the United States Like many corporate leaders John MacArthur is well compensated financially. For example, its in the public record that for the 2011 calendar year John MacArthur earned $402,444 for working PART-TIME for Grace To You and $103,000 for The Masters College and Seminary. Thats more than $500,000, not counting his church salary, book royalties, speaking fees, etc. Remarkably, for just part time work at Grace To You, John MacArthur earns more than the annual salary of the President of the United States (which is $400,000). Of interest, John MacArthurs two sons hold the positions of Treasurer and Director at Grace To You. According to the IRS 990 forms submitted by Grace To You and The Masters College and Seminary for 2011, John MacArthur worked 20 hours/week for Grace To You and 40 hours/week for The Masters College and Seminary. Does he actually work for these corporations 60 hours/week? Assuming he doesnt work for either of these corporations on the weekends, then he must work on average 12 hours/day Monday through Friday. Other Grace Community Church leaders are also well compensated. For 2011, the Executive Director of Grace To You, Phil Johnson, received $218,788 and Don Green, the Managing Director of Grace To You, earned $200,847 (these men earned more than the annual salary of a US senator). Rufus Harvey, the CFO at Grace To You, was compensated $170,615. Travis Allen, the Director of Internet for Grace To You, was compensated $139,135. Its in the public record that seven employees at Grace To You were compensated in excess of $150,000 in 2011. In a clear conflict of interest, John MacArthurs Grace To You has paid approximately $3,500,000 over the last 5 years (2008-2012) to a private firm solely owned by Kory Welch, his son-in law. The Welch Group Companies receives approximately $775,000 annually to produce Grace to Yous videos. I realize this doesnt matter to many people, but I think it goes to the core of integrity, honesty, and qualification. If one truly studies the Word of God I think you will find this is totally contrary to what Scripture teaches. If I cant trust a man in this realm, I cant trust Him to be a messenger of God. It appears John has some of his own strange fire going on! Just my viewpoint.
