Who owns the property the church stands on? How does your church get paid for? Do the churches get loans from banks? Who builds the churches?

Please all Jehovah’s Witnesses don’t answer this. I have posted a question just for your religion previous to this you can find with this link:

This is for all the other religions.
I have also been calling different churches in this area and talking with the treasury depts. They are very helpful and informative and glad to answer my questions.
Some of the churches have volunteers to help with building or remodeling old buildings. They do contracting with professional builders also. The churches take out loans if needed from banks. All of them have building funds within the church to donate to. None so far have a main office that they get loans from so there haven’t been interest paid to a main office of their religion. Some have pledges like there was mention in some answers here. Not all. Nobody is fully committed to paying a pledge like a personal bill. If they can’t pay, they aren’t going to be sued for the money.

I’m looking forward to more answers here. And thank you for your answers as they are most helpful and informative.

Poor old neighbor even has taken out a reverse mortgage.

A friend works for the municipal department and says the church has the most empty booze bottles to pick up in town for recycling, so what does a bottle of that stuff go for?

I have a niece who spends more then she makes. Is always in debt. Never saves for retirement. Designers things was only things she use to buy. She has gotten to the point she is going bankrupt. The last time I tried to help was over a year ago. I offered to refinance her mortgage, and pay off her credit cards, and get her up to date on her 2 car payments. It was going to cost 12,000. And her monthly bills would go down by 0. After paying one car payment, of close to 0 she said she did not want to refinance her house, and just wanted the money to pay off her credit cards. Which would only lower her monthly bills buy 0. That is not good financing. I said no. And since then I have not given any more money. Except for a small gift, for birthday, or now Christmas.
The problem now is she is mad at me because even though money is tight, I have given a few hundred to charities this year. And I signed up for 0 to my church to buy a gift for needy kids for christmas. I usually give to kids under 12yrs old and for the older older kids. My niece is mad that I most likely be giving more to a stranger. By the way I have forgiven over ,000 in loans in the last 10yrs

Am I wrong.
I am an uncle not a aunt. But thanks for the support. I get weak every few months and feel guilty. Thanks for making me strong again.
