Mitt Romney served for several years as the leader of a Mormon congregation (Bishop) and as the leader of a local group of congregations (Stake President) in Massachusetts in the 1990's.

Mormon clergy never recieves a salary. Although Mitt Romney was required to devote 20+ hours a week to his church duties, he received absolutely no payment for this service and was required to also work a full-time job to support his family.

Within the Mormon Church, every member is assigned a duty, such as leading a congregation, teaching a class, cleaning the building, or providing music. Everyone works together to make the congregation operate. These responsibilities are assigned (there is no applying or campaigning for higher positions), the responsibilities rotate, and nobody gets paid. It is simply expected of church members to contribute to their congregation. You can learn more about this at the "Related Links" below.

What is the salary of the Mormon president?

The President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" Church) receives no money for his service to the Church. He and all other General Authorities of the Church receive only travel compensation for Church-related business. The same applies to local Church leaders as well. The Church is run entirely by lay-people, meaning that they aren't paid for their Church service, but have jobs outside of the Church in which they earn money. This stems from a verse found in the Book of Mormon, in Alma 30:34, which says "And now, if we do not receive anything for our labors in the church, what doth it profit us to labor in the church save it were to declare the truth, that we may have rejoicings in the joy of our brethren?
