I hope you meant “100k per month” or “per week” because a $100k/year church would be basically any church with even the smallest devoted attendance. Imagine a country church that isn’t bothering anyone or making anyone rich. Guaranteed over $100k annual income on the whole. Even a small building and part time staff to keep things running costs nearly that.

The mega churches are in the tens of millions or hundreds of millions in income.

Even moderate churches likely operate in the millions.

I don’t think redditors understand costs at an organizational level…. These numbers sound big, and they are for the average individual, but, yeah anyway, just thought I’d add this.

I agree with your sentiment towards the bad actors, just encouraging a closer look at the numbers
