They also pays his mortgage and carnote along with the associated insurances. They pay for his utility bills. She says the only thing the pastor and his wife pay are their credit cards bills. Recently, the pastor and his wife had their second child.
Is this a common practice among congregations?
She and other members are upset with the pastor because he recently asked the congregation to buy his family a $500,000 home to replace their current one. He told them it was needed due to his wife having gave birth to two children over the last three years. The upset members feel it's selfish to ask for a new home during these hard economic times. Especially when tithe collections are way down due to some members losing their jobs.

Because I know how defensive some are about their church business, let me state that I'm not trying to beat up on the church or ministers.
