Pastors' salaries vary by denomination, education, and size of the church. Starting salaries in most churches would be $30,000-$40,000. The average pastor at the average church on the corner of your local town would probably make $50,000-$60,000. In the South where large churches are common, salaries are noticeably higher in the larger churches. For churches with 1000+ members, salaries would be $75,000-$100,000. In some affluent areas a pastor could get a package of $150,000. For Mega-churches there are no limits, especially if the pastor is writing books or producing educational material or has a television ministry. As a point of reference, the average salary of all United Methodist pastors in the United States is $60,000.

Yes.
Most deacons do not get paid, they are volunteers. However, if they are full time and in special circumstances they receive an average salary of around 40,000 dollars a year. Sometimes they receive free room and board.
No
Sometimes they should. A pastor is called by God and the Church to a specific, religious, professional vocation. By secular law, he is hired to do a specific job and is to be paid enough to support his family. He pays taxes on his salary and perks, though in the US, churches themselves are not taxed. So part of the money you tithe usually goes to pay the pastor.
The tithe money does not belong to the pastor. It belongs to the church and they have a budget determining how the tithes will be used to carry out the ministry of the church and meet their legal obligations. The pastor is paid a salary. Some pastors don't receive a salary if they already have another income. Rabbi's receive a salary too.
it is a place where the minster and his family live. it is owned by the church and all expenses are paid for by the church One of the benefits of clergy is that normally the church provides them housing. A parsonage is a house owned by the church, usually next door, that is for the pastor of the church and his family. Depending on the church, it may include all utilities and lawn maintenance. Some churches do not maintain a parsonage. Some of these churches offer a "housing allowance" in lieu of a parsonage, while others expect the pastor to pay for his own home out of his own salary. In situations where the church is too small to provide a salary adequate for this, the pastor will maintain a job like any other person.
