I am a Mission Trip Coordinator (and licensed minister). I am not an employee (in the normal sense).
I lead 2 a couple 10-day mission trips a year.
The church pays all my airfare, hotels, meals, and misc. expenses.
I also receive a flat $1500 for leading each trip (no taxes taken out).
Are the directly paid travel expenses income? To me this would be absurd, but then again, it is the IRS.

If you want to DIY your payroll, I highly recommend you look at using Gusto! It is very user friendly and their support is awesome! Plus they know how to set up and maintain payrolls for churches and nonprofit organizations.
Note: I am a "partner" of Gusto, but as I have told you before ... I never recommend anything that we or our clients have not tried and love =)
