Paying for vacation with fundraiser?

Maybe this is known as a loaded question. If the church body/leaders reach a consensus on doing this, then there is nothing really wrong with it. What if the pastor's salary is low and he/she is doing a great job and needs to be rewarded, then the congregation probably can deal with it. The amount for the vacation; however, will need to be added into the salary on the yearly W-2 form. Ideally, a church should provide an adequate salary for the pastor to afford his/her own vacation.
