Self-supporting ministers (SSMs), previously called non-stipendiary ministers or non-stipendiary priests (NSMs), are religious ministers who do not receive a stipend (i.e. payment) for their services and therefore financially support their own ministry. They usually have alternative employment which provides monetary income with which they can support themselves. There were around 2000 SSMs in the Church of England at the turn of the 21st century.
They are frequently found in parishes across England, and the former Bishop of Ebbsfleet, Andrew Burnham, was previously an NSM.
