While there are some special situations (allowing them to not pay self employment portion), generally a minister is like any other employee or worker. Failure to timely pay can and will incur a penalty.

For income tax purposes, a licensed, commissioned, or ordained minister is generally treated as a common law employee of his or her church, denomination, or sect. There are, however, some exceptions such as traveling evangelists who may be treated as independent contractors.
