I urge you to look at the helpful information located at http://www.800helpfla.com/landlord_text.html.
If you have not paid rent, the LL only need give you 3 days written notice prior to filing an eviction action. The pastor is being generous by giving you two weeks notice.
I'm sorry that I don't have good news for you.
sounds like he did give proper notice. You can't stay for free.
You have a month to month tenancy, and you can be evicted for failure to pay rent. I agree you should see the info on Florida landlord-tenant law at http://www.800helpfla.com/landlord_text.html
