Tax Consequences of 3rd Party Premium Payment

Please forgive my ignorance on the subject. My expertise is group health insurance, not life insurance, so I appreciate your input!

A client wants to purchase $1,000,000 term life policy insuring himself, with the beneficiary as his wife. This is not a group term policy. His employer (a church) wants to pay the premium.

1. If the employer pays the premium, is the payout taxable when the insured dies?
