All churches I have gone to make their finances very transparent. While some of it goes to the higher ups the vast majority goes to funding day to day operations and mission work. My church regularly will help prepare meals for the homeless and impoverished on Christmas, goes to “third world” countries to help get them clean water, medicine, and food. No church I have gone to ever said this is needed for salvation, they just say that it helps them do good things in the world and spread gods love.
