My husband is a pastor. Do I have to report as income the money the church gives him to buy health insurance? Is it included in box 1 on the W2?

We are on the Marketplace because the church is too small to get group insurance. We understand that the money he is given to pay for that is taxable income. Is that correct? If so, would the bookkeeper add that to box 1 on his W2 or is it placed elsewhere? He has a 4361 exemption so none of this goes towards that.
