I worked for a church last year. I was an employee with taxes withheld during January, but they switched me to self-employed (with no tax withheld) on Feb 1. I am thinking they should have given me two W2s - one for January when I was an employee, and one for the rest of the year when I was self-employed. Is this correct?

You should get a W-2 for when you were an employee and a 1099MISC for when self-employed.
Unless you stayed an employee, and after Jan. you just had no taxes deducted, then they would issue one W-2 for the entire time.
If social security was taken out of the pay in Jan, then you should get two W-2's. Because the 2nd W-2 (with no Social Security Paid) you will get a screen after the W-2 enter that should be checked "Religious Employment".
