For what it's worth, I'm having a similar issue, but it's because the church paid a Social Security offset as part of my compensation package, so they didn't do anything improper.
You aren't specific about your situation, but if you have any value in box 3, 4, 5 or 6 of your W-2, then the church messed up. If they are giving you a salary bump to account for your self-employment taxes, that should be included in your box 1 wages, not in box 3, 4, 5 or 6. (Further, if they included money in your W-2 boxes 3-6 but did not file a form W-3 and form 941 or 944 that matches, they will be getting letters from the IRS too.)
