How does a church pay for lights, heat, gas, building maintenance and all the other things that are necessary for any kind of organization to function? One cannot take a "Hallelujah" to the light company to pay the bill....
Well, the church I attend makes money in the following ways:
-run a full time day care for children 6 weeks to pre-K
-run an after school program for children up to grade 5
-run summer camp/Vacation Bible School programs
-charge church rental fees for weddings
-put on a yearly talent show where patrons are chraged for tickets
-hold exercise classes for different age groups
I'm sure there are other things that go on that I'm not thinking of right now, but all of the above mentioned activies generate money for the church. The church doesn't rely on tithes!
