Nothing unusual...churches usually buy homes for the Reverend.
As son of a pastor I can tell you this is definitely not the norm.

It is not at all uncommon in Alabama and Tennessee. I can't tell you how many churches I've seen...especially smaller rural churches...that have a preacher' s house sitting next to it.

I don't know where you're from or in what denomination your father ministered but it is absolutely the norm for Southern Baptist churches in Alabama. They either provide a parsonage (sometimes called a pastorium) or provide a housing allotment which is not considered part of the pastor's salary.
The practice did start diminishing in the last 20 years or so, but is making a little comeback with the housing market crash.
