Just a guess on this ?

I would guess "yes" on this because of being able to also deduct mortgage interest expense on Sch. A of 1040 in addition to claiming mortgage interest expense in a church approved housing allowance, but I would suggest that you call the IRS toll free number on this. (1-800-1040 I believe is the tele. #) just to be certain.
