Let’s say that I get a bachelors in religion and a masters in divinity and pay for my schooling with student loans. How would I pay off my loans, finance a church, and support myself?

    Very few preachers start a church on their own. They spend some time learning the practical details while working in an established church.

    As to how they make a living, did you imagine that what comes in by way of the Sunday collection plate is all they get? The larger donations come from people who are solicited personally, people who can donate thousands, perhaps even millions, in a single check. Those large donations are then invested in real estate and other assets, against which the church can borrow as necessary.

    And those are just the relatively honest ones.
