In nations where religious institutions pay taxes, the church pays taxes. The church does have for-profit business arms (such as Deseret Book, a religious book store) which do pay all taxes required by law. It also pays taxes on any real estate it may purchase or sell.
While the church does not pay unemployment taxes, it does have a program to provide employment assistance to those who are unemployed. The church operates several Employment Resource Centers throughout the world, where anyone can come to get extra training and practice their interview and resume skills, as well as search a large database of available jobs.

Yes, an S-Corporation is generally required to pay unemployment insurance taxes for its employees. However, the corporation itself does not pay unemployment taxes on the income of its shareholders who are also employees, as long as they are actively working and receiving wages.
