I live in a church parsonage, but do not receive an allowance for utilities/expenses. I report the fair market rental value on form SE. Can I deduct the utilities/expenses on SE?

No. Your employing church would have had to designated a housing allowance for you.
See this informative guide from GuideStone What happens if a church forgets to designate a housing allowance?
Hope this helps,
