All of this should be approved by a deacon board. If it is a small church, the pastor should just get a job and supplement their income until the church grows to the point of supporting him full time.

Brother,
I have heard many time that this statement has been made. I’m not saying that you’re not special, but these words are not unique. It usually goes like this.
Pastor: “I didn’t even take all of the tithes (implying that they would be justified in doing so).
So I’d like to know, of the nine occurrences of a form of the word pastor in the Bible, could you quote me a single scripture that says being a pastor entitled anyone to a tithe portion, ever?
I’m not aware of any.
