As Sr pastor I receive only parsonage. My total wages are $0. I am bi-vocational and work outside of church to support my family. Does my church still need to give me a W2? I'm the only pastor on staff.

The W-2 would not be required in that case. What you do when you file your taxes (which hopefully is before now)is file an SE form for self-employment taxes, adding the rental value of the parsonage, because you are liable for that tax on that amount.
