This happens??I have seen it go farther than that. “THe church owns the house so we can come and go in it any time we please, even 3 am if we want to.”
So nosy congregants can go thru the refrigerator and shelves looking for whatever, walk in on the pastor and spouse when they are sleeping (or whatever) and then report back all they saw to the rest of the congregation.
Housing allowance (if the congregation owns the parsonage/manse) is deducted from the wages of the pastor, which makes finding alternate housing without the untimely intrusions, an economic impossiblibility.
