I'm sorry, I disagree. If you are an employee (or non-employee independent contractor) of the church, then anything of monetary value they give you is taxable income, and should be reported on your W-2 or 1099-MISC. If not reported, you still need to include it as taxable income.
Church members can give you tax-free gifts, but the church cannot.

Generally speaking, gifts are not taxable to the recipient, nor does the recipient have to report them (unless, in some instances, they are from a foreign source). [But see Opus 17's correct comments re: gifts to clergy]
