What is a church parsonage?

A church parsonage is a residence provided by a church for its pastor or minister and their family. Typically located near the church building, the parsonage allows clergy to live within the community they serve. This arrangement often helps pastors be more available to their congregation and can be part of their overall compensation package. Parsonages can vary in size and amenities, depending on the church's resources and traditions.
