Unfortunately too many preachers today use organization affiliation as their only means of fellowship with other preachers. There is no one organization that is the “body of Christ” so to speak.

Another way to look at cell ministry is small groups. Small groups are very effective and biblical. In fact, Sunday school is about small groups.

A parsonage (or rental) allowance includes church provided parsonages, rental allowances with which the minister may rent a home, and housing allowances with which the minister may purchase a home. A minister can receive a parsonage allowance for only one home. The term home means a dwelling place, including furnishings, and the appurtenances (e.g., garage)
Ministers are allowed to exclude a parsonage allowance from gross income. To be excludable, the fair rental value of the parsonage or the parsonage allowance must be reasonable in amount.
