Yes, there are expenses with buildings. But We are a debt free church with designated funds set aside for ministry needs and benevolence. We also feed over 1000 families in our community every month. Every organization has costs. Including organisms. I do agree that many churches build, edifices they cannot afford and it is all about the building and fortunately that is not the way we did it. Their are healthy exceptions to all common situation and most churches are what you describe. Thanks for reading and leaving a comment.
