What is a church parsonage? |
Church Parsonage
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.
