I think they get all that money because of the people that go to the Church give 10+% of their money to the Church for tithes. The average income in Ohio is about 40,000 a year. 10% is 4,000 a year pp. You get like.... 300 people that go to your church and thats roughly 1,200,000 a year. Plus the other donations and what not... and you got yourself a lot of money. Even if you subtract 23% (roughly again) for taxes you still have 924,000. If you are in the same church for a while then that money will add up to A LOT really quick and what do ya know... you can build a church with a "touchdown Jesus" in front of it.
