Of course with a well-funded congregation like that in the Hills district, the donations alone can be pretty sizable - especially when you factor in the upwardly-mobile professionals who believe in Hillsong's quite admirable "the more you give, the more you get" message of generosity.

But, uh, that's kind of off-topic. :)
