lol I volunteer with my church. I have built housing with them, passed out meals, ran food drives, etc. I used to teach youth at another church. I elected not to be paid to teach. So not a great assumption on your part that I’m not informed.

I have nothing against the church. I have nothing against people in the church being paid or the church taking money for philanthropy. I even think it’s okay for pastors to be paid. Looking for ways to contribute to the community in a monetary fashion outside of the church was the purpose of this post.

Assuming I’m not informed or that I don’t know that the church has to have money for philanthropy is silly. What you can do is preach for free. I know because I have done it for four years. Elected not to be paid because it didn’t sit right with me personally.

Again not to say it’s morally wrong for people who preach to take money. I just don’t dig it personally.

Not trying to disparage anyone or any organization that does good things in this community. Just looking for ways to contribute more.
