The term CHURCH RESIDENCE can refer to two different types of dwellings. The first is a RECTORY, which is a residence for a priest or minister of a church. It is typically located on the grounds of the church and is usually owned by the church. The second type of church residence is a manse, which is a house owned by a church and occupied by its minister. Both rectories and manses are traditionally provided as part of the minister's compensation package.
