This is a wonderful bit of news! And it is very "Christian" of them; however:
This act is an exception to the overwhelming rule of churches enriching a top few with vast wealth at the expense of the masses of followers. The Joel Osteens, Billy Grahams and Joyce Meyers of the world are sadly just a few examples of the bilking of the faithful by narcissistic egomaniacs; and the lavishness of most large churches speak for themselves in pointing out where most of their money goes.
The world could use many more examples like Eagle Rock Church's actions, so kudos to them!

I don't believe it for one second. Can you source this claim?
