Use of Funds
The LDS Church uses most of its financial resources to construct and maintain buildings and other facilities. The church also spends its funds on providing social welfare and relief and supporting missionary, educational, and other LDS Church-sponsored programs. The church does not pay its local leadership. General authorities and mission presidents (who serve full-time in these capacities) can receive monies from the LDS Church in the form of housing, living allowances, and other benefits while they are on assignment. No funds are provided for services rendered.
