How Churches Spend The Money

Ever wonder how the offering is spent? Do you ever wonder how your church actually makes an impact in your community?

In the "Mega" churches of today here is the average breakdown; For evry dollar you put into the plate

60% goes into the staff pockets of that 60% 20% goes into the senior Pastors Pockets

25% goes into the building much of this is making the huge mortgage payments they carry and paying tons of interest.

15% Ministry So 15 cents of evry dollar goes into impacting other for Christ.

So tell me whats wrong with this. As this country continues into its recession and people loose their jobs and loose their homes, what is your church doing ?

I was reading how the Mormon church has set up several Food distributions and have large grocery stores to help those in need NO CHARGE!

Churches call themselves store houses, Take the time to ask you church how is the million or two spent? How will your church that you are pouring thousands of dollars into will help if things in your community get bad. HINT THE WORD "STORE HOUSE"

Hold your church accountable with the money you have given
