[quote=Anonymous][b][quote=Anonymous]If you do not go to MBC please do not post ignorant comments about it.  I have been going there for over 2 years now and it is a wonderful church and does so much for the metro DC area.  They give out financial information at each membership meeting which is held quarterly.  I personally know several people on staff there and they are very caring people who genuinely love Jesus and want to make a positive difference in the world.  I have never gotten even the slightest hint (and I was skeptical about them before I started attending) of any financial wrongdoing.  Pastor Solomon even takes questions at the quarterly meetings from the audience about the finances and is very transparent.  Since it is a very large church, of course their operating budget is large but they also donate a ton of money to various causes both worldwide and in the DC area.

As far as Lon Solomon's salary goes, no, they have not disclosed that but I, for one, do not see any issue with that because I have personally seen how much of a positive impact this church is making on the community and I think he is worth whatever he is being paid.[/quote][/b]

I completely agree and I do not attend McLean Bible church but used too.  It's a wonderful church.  A troll pops up attacking McLean Bible Church and Lon Solomon in this forum about every six months - especially on the salary issue.  It's just weird and I suspect it's a neighbor who isn't happy with the church's success and sunday traffic of 13,000 people on Route 7.  As for OP's question about missions, here's a list on wiki.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McLean_Bible_Church.  Read "Ministries".  Please note that Jill's House, alone, which assists parents of special needs children, cost $18.5 million and is run on McLean Bible Church property.  I helped establish it.  I admire Lon Solomon and all friends who attend McLean Bible Church.  [/quote]
