An Ohio Methodist church has agreed to let cell phone companies use its steeple as a tower - and to use the monies earned for the betterment of the community. In addition to creating a number of jobs at the church, the almost $400,000 earned (which invested has come to $2.1 million) over the past three or so years has gone toward creating a daycare facility, a tricycle park, plans for a second daycare center and a program for learning disabled kids.
Although the church building needs repairs, no money has gone toward that. However AT&T has agreed to paint the church tower and repair the windows during an upcoming installation - and the pastor of First United Methodist church in Ohio says that the arrangement has resulted in helping many people in both his church and the community to better their lives.
